Ketotifen

Has anyone here taken this? My doctor prescribed it to help with food allergies...I thought it was for inflammation. I have very bad inflammation issues going on so I'm a bit confused as to why this was prescribed or what people typically use it for.

My mom has been taking it for years. Has always helped her with various issues, in hindsight we think it may have been helping with MCAS issues related to lyme/coinfections. I know this med has really helped some patients, hope it can help you with the inflammation issues!

ketotifen is MCAS treatment. antihistamine and mast stabilizer.

careful with the fillers, they are almost always based on lactose. if u cannot eat dairy that may be an issue.

you may also try quercetin as natural alternative

My doc tas given me this, told me to take 1 at night when I complained of itchiness/ rashes.

I’ve not been taking it every day, I wanted to alter a few other things first to see if they make a difference but when I have a particularly bad with with the rashes/ itchiness I will take one. Not sure if this is the right approach.

Also started quercitin two days ago

Girlie what dosage do you take and do you take it with ECGC?

I take ketotifen for MCAD triggered by Lyme. I only take 1mg before bed which has helped with insomnia, depression, weight loss, and fatigue. I was only sleeping about 2-3 hours without it. Now I sleep 8-9 hours.

It stopped the weight loss but now I keep putting weight on. My allergist told me she hasn't prescribed it in years due to the weight gain.
