Ketotifen may increase the effects of sedatives, anti-histamines, medicines used to treat depression or anxiety, anticoagulants to reduce the ability of the blood to clot and alcohol.
As ketotifen may lower the seizure threshold it is advised to be used with caution in patients with a history of epilepsy. Convulsions have been reported very rarely during ketotifen therapy.
Thrombocytopenia may occur in patients taking ketotifen at the same time as oral antidiabetic drugs (biguanides). The simultaneous administration of these drugs is advised to therefore be avoided .
