This unique formulation is particularly effective in managing conditions such as Atopic Dermatitis, Allergic Conjunctivitis, Pruritus, Insect Bite Reactions, and Urticaria.

The Diphenhydramine HCl component of this formulation is an antihistamine that functions by inhibiting the action of histamine, a chemical that the body releases during an allergic reaction. It effectively reduces the itching, redness, and swelling associated with these conditions. On the other hand, Ketotifen is an anti-inflammatory agent that aids in reducing inflammation and irritation. The combination of these two active ingredients provides effective relief from the symptoms of these conditions.

This topical gel formulation is a semisolid preparation dispensed through a pump mechanism, facilitating easy and precise application on the skin for targeted treatment or absorption of active ingredients. Its gel-like consistency ensures that the active ingredients are absorbed effectively, providing targeted relief to the affected areas.

Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

This Diphenhydramine HCl 1%/Ketotifen 0.05% Topical Gel (Vet) is a compounded formulation specifically designed for veterinary use. It is primarily indicated for the treatment of Atopic Dermatitis, Allergic Conjunctivitis, Pruritus, Insect Bite Reactions, and Urticaria in animals. The formulation combines the therapeutic benefits of an antihistamine and a mast cell stabilizer to effectively manage and alleviate symptoms associated with these conditions.

Diphenhydramine HCl, the antihistamine component, works by blocking the effects of histamine, a substance in the body that causes allergic symptoms such as itching, sneezing, and runny nose. On the other hand, Ketotifen, the mast cell stabilizer, functions by preventing the release of chemicals from cells involved in allergic reactions. These chemicals, when released, can cause inflammation and other allergic symptoms.

The formulation is dispensed in a semisolid gel form through a pump mechanism. This design allows for easy and precise application on the skin, ensuring targeted treatment or absorption of the active ingredients. It should be applied topically to the affected area as directed by a veterinarian.

While this formulation is generally safe, it may cause skin irritation in some animals. Therefore, it should be used with caution and under the supervision of a veterinarian. It is also important to note that this formulation may interact with other medications. Therefore, any concurrent medication use should be discussed with the veterinarian prior to starting treatment with this formulation.

If you have any questions or concerns about this formulation, it is recommended to consult with a veterinarian or a knowledgeable pharmacy professional. Remember, the health and well-being of your pet is of utmost importance, and any treatment should be undertaken with their best interest in mind.
