Ketasma 1mg

Description

💊 Ketasma 1mg Product Description

Ketasma 1mg is an advanced oral medication meticulously formulated to provide long-term prophylactic treatment for bronchial asthma. It is specifically designed to reduce the frequency and severity of asthma attacks, improving overall pulmonary function and quality of life for both adults and pediatric patients.

The active ingredient, Ketotifen, is a powerful antiallergic agent that works by stabilizing mast cells and preventing the release of histamine and other inflammatory mediators. Additionally, it acts as a non-competitive H 1 ​ -receptor blocker, reducing the inflammatory response in the airways that contributes to asthma symptoms. It is essential to note that Ketasma 1mg is a preventative treatment and is not intended for use in acute asthma attacks.

Key Benefits:

• Reduces the frequency and severity of asthma attacks, particularly nocturnal symptoms.
• Effective for the long-term prophylactic treatment of bronchial asthma.
• Helps decrease the need for rescue medication (short-acting β-agonists) over time.
• Suitable for prophylaxis in allergic bronchitis and other allergic conditions.
• Can improve pulmonary function test results with consistent use.

🛡️ Precautions

Is Ketasma 1mg Right for You?

Ketasma 1mg should be used with caution if you have a history of epilepsy or are taking certain antidiabetic medications (sulfonylureas), as it may potentiate their effects. Tell your doctor about all prescription and non-prescription medicines you are taking, especially other sedating medications, as Ketasma may increase drowsiness.

DO NOT STOP SUDDENLY: Ketasma 1mg is a preventative medicine and should not be abruptly discontinued, even if your symptoms improve. Sudden cessation may lead to a relapse of asthma symptoms. Continue taking the prescribed dose and consult your healthcare provider before making any changes to your regimen.
