It also possesses anti-inflammatory properties and can inhibit the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Together, these two active ingredients work synergistically to alleviate the symptoms of Atopic Dermatitis, Allergic Conjunctivitis, Pruritus, Urticaria, and Eosinophilic Esophagitis.

However, it is crucial to note that this formulation should not be used in patients with a known hypersensitivity to Pyridoxine HCl or Ketotifen. Always consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new medication or treatment. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out for further information.
