KETOGATE EYE DROPS 5 ML

How KETOGATE EYE DROPS 5 ML Works

• KETOGATE EYE DROPS 5 ML offer a dual-action approach to alleviate allergic conjunctivitis symptoms. The active ingredient, Ketotifen, is a mast cell stabilizer and a histamine H1-receptor antagonist. This means it works through two primary mechanisms to provide relief from itchy, watery, and inflamed eyes.
• Firstly, Ketotifen stabilizes mast cells. Mast cells are immune cells that release histamine and other inflammatory mediators when exposed to allergens like pollen, dust mites, or pet dander. By stabilizing these cells, Ketotifen prevents the release of these substances, thereby reducing the allergic response at its source. This preventative action helps to minimize the initial allergic reaction.
• Secondly, Ketotifen acts as a histamine H1-receptor antagonist. Histamine is a key chemical mediator involved in allergic reactions. It binds to H1 receptors in the eye, leading to symptoms like itching, redness, and swelling. By blocking these receptors, Ketotifen prevents histamine from exerting its effects, thus alleviating the symptoms directly. This provides rapid relief from the discomfort associated with allergic conjunctivitis.
• In simpler terms, KETOGATE EYE DROPS 5 ML work by both preventing the release of allergy-causing substances and blocking the action of those substances already released. This combined effect provides effective and long-lasting relief from the symptoms of allergic conjunctivitis, allowing you to enjoy clear and comfortable vision.

• If you miss a dose of Ketogate Eye Drops, use it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not double the dose to catch up.

• Keep KETOGATE EYE DROPS 5ML away from the reach of children and pets.
• Store KETOGATE EYE DROPS 5ML at room temperature.

• Always wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water before using KETOGATE EYE DROPS 5 ML to avoid contamination. Ensure your hands are clean to prevent the introduction of bacteria or other harmful substances into your eye, which could lead to infection or irritation. This simple step significantly reduces the risk of complications and helps maintain the sterility of the eye drops.
• When instilling KETOGATE EYE DROPS 5 ML, tilt your head back slightly and gently pull down your lower eyelid to create a small pocket. Look up and squeeze one drop into this pocket, avoiding contact between the dropper tip and your eye or surrounding surfaces. This prevents contamination of the bottle and ensures accurate dosage. Close your eye gently for 1-2 minutes without blinking or rubbing to allow the medication to absorb properly. Excess solution can be blotted with a clean tissue.
• If you wear contact lenses, remove them before using KETOGATE EYE DROPS 5 ML. Wait at least 15 minutes after applying the eye drops before reinserting your lenses. This is crucial because some eye drops contain preservatives that can be absorbed by contact lenses, potentially causing irritation or damage to your eyes. Allowing sufficient time between application and lens insertion ensures the medication is fully absorbed and minimizes the risk of adverse reactions.
• Store KETOGATE EYE DROPS 5 ML in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Proper storage is essential to maintain the stability and efficacy of the medication. Avoid storing the eye drops in the bathroom, where humidity levels are high. Ensure the bottle is tightly closed when not in use to prevent contamination and evaporation. Discard the eye drops after the expiration date or if the solution changes color or becomes cloudy.
• If you are using other eye medications, administer KETOGATE EYE DROPS 5 ML at least 5-10 minutes apart from other eye drops or ointments. This prevents the dilution of either medication and ensures each one can work effectively. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for specific guidance on the order and timing of your eye medications to optimize their therapeutic benefits. If you experience any unusual symptoms or side effects, such as blurred vision, redness, or itching, contact your doctor immediately.

• There are no known interactions between KETOGATE EYE DROPS 5 ML and food. It is generally safe to use this medication regardless of your dietary intake. However, if you experience any unusual symptoms, consult your doctor.
