Ketotifen update-- August 2020

[Jess-UKMasto]

The licensed ketotifen tablets (Zaditen) should now be available in the UK again. Your pharmacist should contact Alloga directly if they cannot get a supply from their usual wholesalers. The liquid continues to be available only by importing the unlicensed products from elsewhere in Europe. Please check in at ukmasto.org/ketotifen to get the latest updates.

That's very good to know - I'd given up looking for updates on ketotifen. I'll be asking my local pharmacy if they can get it again before getting my prescription updated though.

Last I spoke with Alloga it was in stock and no problem-- but sometimes there's a bit of a disconnect between Alloga and the pharmacy, so persistence may be necessary!

Just to let you know - I spoke to my pharmacist and he said "Can't get" but then checked again and suddenly it was "Oh - no problems, we can get that again now". It's really good to have ketotifen back - the alternative was OK but not as good.

Great news, Kay! Frustrating to need to prod the pharmacist, but very glad of the result!
