Ketotifen has a stronger effect on stabilizing MCs than sodium cromoglycate. This drug has antihistamine activity and is also a functional leukotriene antagonist
Some antihistamines should not be used in people with acute porphyria. Those believed to be safe are chlorphenamine, desloratadine, fexofenadine, ketotifen (Zaditen), loratadine and promethazine (Phenergan)
In the present case, a 4-month-old boy was administered ketotifen at 5 times the recommended dose, and he showed mental deterioration and growth retardation. The presence of developmental deterioration strongly suggests that overdose of ketotifen induces toxic encephalopathy.
