[Ketotifen treatment of chronic urticaria. An open study of therapeutically difficult courses]. 1985

K M Taube, and K D Wozniak, and W Lässig

21 patients suffering from chronic urticaria were treated with Ketotifen (2 X 1 mg/d) for 4 weeks. The suppression of weals and pruritus, the side effects in comparison with antihistamines, as well as the effect after finishing therapy have been studied. Ketotifen has a good suppressing effect on weals and pruritus. The general tolerance of the preparation is good, as well. Thus Ketotifen may be regarded as an additional possibility concerning treatment of chronic urticaria.
