Totifen Tablet 1 mg contains Ketotifen Fumarate, an antihistamine used to manage allergic conditions such as asthma, allergic rhinitis, and conjunctivitis. It works by inhibiting the release of histamine and other chemical mediators from mast cells, preventing allergic reactions and inflammation.

Totifen 1 mg is particularly effective for patients with chronic allergies or asthma who require long-term control. By stabilizing mast cells and reducing hypersensitivity reactions, it helps prevent symptoms like wheezing, shortness of breath, nasal congestion, sneezing, itching, and watery eyes.
