This ketotifen eye drop temporarily relieves itchy eyes caused by pollen, ragweed, grass, animal hair, and dander. It is an allergy treatment rather than a general dry-eye lubricant.

Are Alaway and Zaditor different ingredients?
Their standard formulas both contain ketotifen at the same labeled strength. Do not combine them to increase the dose. Compare bottle size and the exact label when choosing.
Keep unopened containers sealed and use before the marked expiry date. Follow the storage directions on the carton. Read the official product label and check the package supplied before use.
