THERAPEUTIC CLASSIFICATION
Pediatric Asthma Prophylactic and Anti-Allergic Agent
ACTIONS AND CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
Ketotifen (ketotifen fumarate) is a non-bronchodilator anti-asthmatic
drug which inhibits
the effects of certain endogenous substances known to be inflammatory
mediators, and
thereby exerts anti-allergic activity. Preclinical studies indicated
that Zaditen's anti-H
1
effect seems to be distinct from its anti-allergic properties.
The effectiveness of Zaditen in the chronic management of mild atopic
pediatric asthma
has been shown in clinical trials. Continued use of Zaditen results in
a partial reduction
in the frequency, severity and duration of asthma symptoms and
attacks, and may lead to
the reduction in the daily requirements of concomitant anti-asthmatic
medication such as
theophyllines and
β
2
-agonists, without the deterioration in pulmonary function (FEV
1
,
FVC and PEFR). Clinical improvements have been observed in some cases
within the
first weeks of treatment and generally reach statistical significance
after ten weeks.
Zaditen may have an anti-inflammatory effect in the lungs and the time
of onset of
clinical efficacy may reflect the recovery period of the lungs from
inflammation.
