Mechanism of Action

Ketotifen Fumarate, the active ingredient in Prosma Syrup, works through:

1. Mast cell stabilization – prevents the release of histamine and other inflammatory mediators, reducing allergic reactions.
2. H1 histamine receptor antagonism – blocks histamine activity, relieving allergy symptoms such as itching, sneezing, and swelling.

This dual action provides both preventive and symptomatic relief from allergic conditions.
