Description
TOMA Syrup is an antihistamine medication manufactured by Navana Pharmaceuticals Ltd., containing Ketotifen Fumarate at a concentration of 1 mg per 5 ml. This syrup is primarily used for the prophylactic treatment of bronchial asthma and the symptomatic management of allergic conditions such as allergic rhinitis, allergic conjunctivitis, hay fever, and urticaria. Ketotifen works by inhibiting the release of histamine and other mediators from mast cells, thereby reducing allergic responses. The recommended dosage for adults is 1 mg taken twice daily with food, which may be increased to 2 mg twice daily in severe cases. For children above 3 years, the typical dose is 1 mg twice daily. In cases where sedation is a concern, starting with 0.5 to 1 mg at night for the first few days is advised. The syrup is available in a 50 ml bottle, priced at approximately ৳30.00 in Bangladesh. Common side effects may include drowsiness, dry mouth, and dizziness, especially during the initial days of treatment. Patients should avoid alcohol and be cautious when performing tasks requiring mental alertness. It is important to follow the dosage instructions provided by a healthcare professional and not to exceed the recommended dose. TOMA Syrup should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, and out of reach of children.
