1. What is SOKETOL and what is it used for
SOKETOL contains the active ingredient ketotifen and belongs to a group of medicines called
antihistamine-antiallergic for ocular use.
SOKETOL is used for the local treatment of allergic inflammation (spring,
atopic and others) of short and long duration of the eyes, such as:
- conjunctivitis,
- keratoconjunctivitis.
Consult your doctor if you do not feel better or if you feel worse after a short period of treatment.
2. What you need to know before using SOKETOL
Do not use SOKETOL
- if you are allergic to ketotifen or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6);
- if you are pregnant (see “Pregnancy, breastfeeding and fertility”).
Warnings and precautions
Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before using SOKETOL.
This medicine may cause, upon application, a slight and temporary burning sensation.
Other medicines and SOKETOL
Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken or might take any other
medicines. If you are using SOKETOL together with other medicines for the eyes, allow at least 5
minutes between each application. Oral administration of ketotifen can enhance the effects of medicines with a depressant action on the central nervous system (such as tranquillizers, hypnotics), antihistamines (anti-allergy medicines) and alcohol. Although these effects have not been observed with the use of ketotifen-based eye drops, the possibility that they may still occur cannot be excluded.
SOKETOL with food, beverages and alcohol
SOKETOL may increase the effects of alcohol.
Pregnancy, breastfeeding and fertility
If you are pregnant, suspect you may be pregnant or are planning to become pregnant, or if you are breastfeeding, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before using this medicine.
Pregnancy
No data are available on the use of ketotifen in pregnancy. The use of SOKETOL during pregnancy should
be limited to cases of actual necessity.
Do not use SOKETOL if you are pregnant, unless your doctor considers it strictly necessary.
Breastfeeding
SOKETOL can be used during breastfeeding.
Fertility
No data are available regarding the effects of ketotifen on fertility in men.
Driving and operating machinery
SOKETOL, at the beginning of treatment, may cause blurred vision or drowsiness and reduce your
reaction ability (especially in sensitive individuals). Therefore, if this happens, do not drive vehicles
and do not operate machinery.
SOKETOL in the multi-dose bottle pack of 10 ml contains benzalkonium chloride
This medicine contains 0.1 mg of benzalkonium chloride per 1 ml.
Benzalkonium chloride can be absorbed by soft contact lenses and can lead to a change in their
colour. Remove your contact lenses before using this medicine and wait 15 minutes before
reapplying them.
Benzalkonium chloride can also cause eye irritation, especially if you have dry eyes or corneal disorders (the transparent superficial layer of the eye). If you experience an abnormal eye sensation, burning or pain after using this medicine, talk to your doctor.
