Albalon Eye Drop 0.5 mg (5 mL)

Albalon Eye Drop 0.5 mg (5 mL) is a ketotifen eye drop used to relieve and help prevent allergy-related eye symptoms. Each drop contains 0.5 mg of ketotifen, an antihistamine and mast cell stabilizer that targets itchy, red, watery eyes. It is commonly used for allergic conjunctivitis and other seasonal or environmental eye allergies. This product is for eye use only and should be used exactly as directed by a clinician.

How it works: Ketotifen helps block histamine, one of the main chemicals that causes allergy symptoms like itching and redness. It also helps stabilize mast cells in the eye so fewer allergy-triggering chemicals are released over time.

Albalon Eye Drop 0.5 mg (5 mL) is a standard-strength ketotifen eye drop, not a tablet or oral medicine. Because it is placed directly in the eye, it works where the allergy symptoms happen and is often chosen when itching and watering are the main problem. A doctor may choose this strength for people who need targeted relief rather than a lower-intensity or non-eye formulation.

• Allergic conjunctivitis
• Itchy eyes from pollen or dust
• Watery eyes caused by allergies
• Red, irritated eyes from seasonal allergies
• Eye allergy symptom prevention

• Use only in the affected eye or eyes, exactly as prescribed.
• Wash your hands before and after using Albalon Eye Drop 0.5 mg (5 mL).
• Do not touch the dropper tip to your eye, fingers, or any surface.
• Tilt your head back, pull down the lower eyelid, and place the prescribed number of drops in the pocket.
• If you wear contact lenses, remove them before using the drops and wait before putting them back in.
• If you use other eye medicines, separate them by at least 5 to 10 minutes unless your doctor tells you otherwise.

Each dose of Albalon Eye Drop 0.5 mg (5 mL) delivers 0.5 mg of ketotifen per drop. The exact number of drops and how often you use it depends on your doctor’s instructions and the severity of your eye allergies; some patients use it once or twice daily, but your prescribed schedule should be followed. Do not use more often than directed, because the maximum daily amount is set by the prescriber for safety and to avoid eye irritation.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.

Common side effects of Ketotifen may include:

• Mild burning or stinging after instilling the drops
• Temporary blurred vision
• Eye irritation or discomfort
• Dry eyes
• Headache
• Unusual taste in the mouth after use

• Use only in the eyes; do not swallow or inject Albalon Eye Drop 0.5 mg (5 mL).
• Remove contact lenses before use, because preservatives in eye drops can irritate the eyes and lenses may be reinserted only when your doctor says it is safe.
• Do not drive or use machines right after dosing if your vision is blurred.
• Tell your doctor if you have a history of eye surgery, glaucoma, or chronic eye disease.
• If eye redness, pain, or vision problems last more than a short time, get medical advice.
• Use caution if you also have severe allergy symptoms elsewhere in the body, since this eye drop treats eye symptoms only.
• Do not use the bottle if the seal is broken or the solution changes color or becomes cloudy.

• Other prescription or over-the-counter eye drops
• Contact lens solutions or products that may irritate the eyes
• Alcohol may worsen dizziness or drowsiness in some people
• Sedating medicines such as antihistamines, sleep aids, or anxiolytics
• Other allergy medicines unless your prescriber approves combined use
