Title: ketotifen, liver monitoring ?
Post by zippy890 on 10/04/12 at 04:58:03

Listmates,

You probably aren't going to believe this, but I actually have an appointment with Dr. Singer in Knoxville soon (and I only waited 10 months). Anyway, I want to have all my ducks in a row before I go to the appointment. One of the things I hope to achieve is to get some Ketotifen.

But I was wondering if you have to have liver tests to monitor on this drug ? If so, how often, and what kind ?

TIA,
Todd in Tenn.

Ketotifen is an H1 antihistamine that also works as a mast cell stabilizer. It shouldn't affect your liver. Antihistamines in general are very, very safe medications.
