Ketotifen (Zaditor) Tips from Pharmacists

• To avoid contamination of the dropper tip and the risk of eye infections, wash your hands with soap and water before using ketotifen. Do not touch the dropper tip to your eye or any other surface. Also, do not rinse or wipe the dropper after use. Close the bottle cap immediately after use.

• If you wear contact lenses, remove them before instilling the eye drops and wait 10 minutes before reinserting them. Do not use ketotifen eye drops to treat contact lens-related irritation.

• Allow at least 5 minutes between the use of ketotifen and other eye drops.

• Call your doctor if your symptoms do not improve after 3 days of using ketotifen.
