Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Bayview Pharmacy is pleased to present a specialized topical cream formulation of Montelukast 1%/Ketotifen 0.05%. This unique combination of medications has demonstrated efficacy in managing a range of allergic and inflammatory conditions, such as asthma, allergic rhinitis, atopic dermatitis, urticaria, and chronic idiopathic urticaria.

Montelukast is a leukotriene receptor antagonist that functions by inhibiting the action of leukotrienes, chemicals that trigger inflammation in the airways. This mechanism helps alleviate asthma symptoms, including wheezing, coughing, and shortness of breath.

Ketotifen, on the other hand, is an antihistamine that operates by blocking the action of histamine, a chemical that the body releases during an allergic reaction. This action helps mitigate the symptoms of allergic rhinitis, such as sneezing, itching, and a runny nose. Additionally, it aids in reducing the inflammation and itching associated with atopic dermatitis, urticaria, and chronic idiopathic urticaria.

The Montelukast 1%/Ketotifen 0.05% Topical Cream is dispensed in a pump mechanism, a semisolid preparation designed for convenient and controlled application on the skin. This allows for localized treatment or absorption of the active ingredients, providing targeted relief from symptoms.

This combination of Montelukast and Ketotifen in a topical cream form offers an effective treatment strategy for various allergic and inflammatory conditions. If you have any queries or require further information about this formulation, please do not hesitate to contact us at Bayview Pharmacy.

Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

Montelukast 1%/Ketotifen 0.05% Topical Cream is a compounded formulation designed for localized treatment of various conditions such as asthma, allergic rhinitis, atopic dermatitis, urticaria, and chronic idiopathic urticaria. This semisolid preparation is dispensed in a pump mechanism for convenient and controlled application on the skin.

The active ingredients in this formulation are Montelukast and Ketotifen. Montelukast is a leukotriene receptor antagonist that blocks the action of leukotrienes, inflammatory mediators that can cause bronchoconstriction, mucus secretion, and airway inflammation. Ketotifen, on the other hand, is a mast cell stabilizer that inhibits the release of histamine and other inflammatory mediators from mast cells. Together, these two medications work synergistically to reduce inflammation and improve symptoms associated with these conditions.

For the treatment of asthma, allergic rhinitis, atopic dermatitis, urticaria, and chronic idiopathic urticaria, Montelukast 1%/Ketotifen 0.05% Topical Cream should be applied twice daily to the affected area. However, it is crucial to understand that this formulation should not be used as a substitute for inhaled corticosteroids, antihistamines, topical corticosteroids, or other medications prescribed by your healthcare provider for these conditions.

Patients with known hypersensitivity to either Montelukast or Ketotifen should not use this formulation. If you have any questions or concerns about the use of Montelukast 1%/Ketotifen 0.05% Topical Cream, it is recommended to consult with your healthcare provider for further guidance.
