Zaditor (active ingredient: ketotifen) is an antihistamine eye medication used to provide temporary relief from itchy eyes caused by allergic conjunctivitis. Allergic conjunctivitis affects the thin, clear tissue that covers the white part of the eye and lines the inside of the eyelids.
Allergic conjunctivitis can develop when the eyes come into contact with allergens such as pollen, ragweed, grass, dust, animal hair, or pet dander. The immune system reacts to these substances by releasing histamine.
Histamine can cause eye itching, redness, watering, burning, swelling, and irritation. Symptoms may affect one or both eyes and can become worse during certain allergy seasons or after exposure to animals.
Zaditor works by blocking histamine receptors in the eyes. This action reduces the effects of histamine and helps relieve allergy-related itching and irritation.
Zaditor also helps stabilize immune cells called mast cells. Mast cells release histamine and other substances during an allergic reaction. Stabilizing these cells may help reduce the release of substances that contribute to eye allergy symptoms.
Zaditor is primarily used to relieve itchy eyes caused by allergies. It may also help reduce redness, watering, burning, swelling, and general discomfort associated with allergic conjunctivitis.
Zaditor provides temporary symptom relief but does not remove the allergen or permanently cure eye allergies.
Zaditor is not intended to treat bacterial or viral eye infections, eye injuries, dry eye disease, or irritation caused by contact lenses. These conditions may cause symptoms that resemble eye allergies but often require different treatment.
A healthcare provider should assess symptoms such as eye pain, thick discharge, sensitivity to light, severe swelling, or changes in vision.
Zaditor is applied directly into the affected eye or eyes. Use the medication exactly as directed on the product label or by a healthcare provider.
Wash and dry your hands before applying the drops. Avoid touching the dropper tip to your eye, eyelid, fingers, or other surfaces because contact may contaminate the medication.
After applying the drops, gently close your eye for a short time. Avoid blinking repeatedly or rubbing your eyes immediately after application.
Remove contact lenses before applying Zaditor. Wait for the recommended amount of time before putting them back in.
Do not wear contact lenses while your eyes are red, painful, irritated, or infected. Zaditor should not be used to treat irritation caused by contact lenses.
Contact a healthcare provider if you develop eye pain, vision changes, severe redness, swelling, discharge, worsening irritation, or symptoms that do not improve after using Zaditor as directed.
Zaditor should only be used in the eyes. Do not swallow the medication or apply it to other parts of the body.
Apply one drop of Zaditor into the affected eye or eyes, usually twice daily. Leave 8 to 12 hours between doses. Follow the package instructions or the directions provided by your healthcare provider.
Do not use more than the recommended amount. Your dosage may depend on your symptoms, medical condition, and response to treatment.
Use Zaditor at approximately the same times each day to help you remember your doses. Regular use can help provide consistent relief from allergy-related eye itching.
Continue using Zaditor as directed while you are exposed to the allergen, such as during pollen season. Follow the package instructions or your healthcare provider’s directions about how long to continue treatment.
Follow these steps when applying Zaditor:
Apply the missed dose when you remember. However, skip it if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose.
Do not apply two doses at the same time to make up for a missed dose.
Contact a healthcare provider if your symptoms continue, become worse, or if new eye symptoms develop.
Seek prompt medical care if you experience eye pain, vision changes, severe redness, swelling, discharge, or signs of a serious allergic reaction.
When using nonprescription Zaditor, contact a healthcare provider if eye itching becomes worse or lasts longer than 72 hours. You may need an examination or a different treatment.
Zaditor (Ketotifen) is available in the following forms and strength:
Do not use Zaditor if you are allergic to ketotifen or any other ingredient in the product. Stop using the medication and seek medical help if you develop swelling, difficulty breathing, a severe rash, or other signs of an allergic reaction.
Speak with a healthcare provider before using Zaditor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding. A healthcare provider can help determine whether the medication is appropriate for you.
Tell your healthcare provider if you have liver or kidney disease before using Zaditor. Although only a small amount of an eye medication is usually absorbed into the body, additional precautions may still be necessary.
Do not allow the dropper tip to touch your eye, eyelid, fingers, or any other surface. Contact can contaminate the bottle and increase the risk of an eye infection.
Keep the bottle tightly closed when it is not being used. Do not rinse or wipe the dropper tip.
Zaditor may temporarily cause blurred vision after application. Avoid driving, operating machinery, or performing activities that require clear vision until your eyesight returns to normal.
Some forms of ketotifen may also cause drowsiness. Use caution until you know how the medication affects you.
Do not use Zaditor to treat redness or irritation caused by contact lenses. Remove your contact lenses before applying the drops and wait for the recommended amount of time before putting them back in.
Do not wear contact lenses while your eyes are red, painful, irritated, or infected.
Tell your healthcare provider about all prescription medications, nonprescription products, vitamins, and supplements you use. Ketotifen may interact with medicines that cause drowsiness, including benzodiazepines, central nervous system depressants, and monoamine oxidase inhibitors.
These interactions are more commonly associated with ketotifen taken by mouth, but it is still important to provide your healthcare provider with a complete medication list.
Discuss your medical history, eye conditions, allergies, pregnancy status, and current medications with a healthcare provider before using Zaditor.
Seek medical attention if you develop eye pain, vision changes, severe redness, swelling, discharge, worsening symptoms, or signs of an eye infection.
No. Zaditor should not be used to treat eye irritation caused by contact lenses. Remove your contact lenses before applying Zaditor. Do not wear contact lenses while your eyes are red, painful, irritated, or infected.
Use Zaditor exactly as directed on the product label or by a healthcare provider. The length of treatment depends on how long you are exposed to the allergen and how your symptoms respond. You may need to use Zaditor for several days or throughout allergy season. Contact a healthcare provider if your symptoms become worse or do not improve.
Zaditor may be used in children aged 3 years and older. A parent or caregiver should supervise the application of the eye drops. Speak with a healthcare provider before using Zaditor in a child younger than 3 years.
Apply the missed dose as soon as you remember. However, skip the missed dose if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose. Continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not apply extra drops or use two doses at the same time to make up for a missed dose.
