ketotifen and Absence Seizure

ketotifen has been researched along with Absence Seizure in 6 studies

Ketotifen: A cycloheptathiophene blocker of histamine H1 receptors and release of inflammatory mediators. It has been proposed for the treatment of asthma, rhinitis, skin allergies, and anaphylaxis.
ketotifen : An organic heterotricyclic compound that is 4,9-dihydro-10H-benzo[4,5]cyclohepta[1,2-b]thiophen-10-one which is substituted at position 4 by a 1-methylpiperidin-4-ylidene group. A blocker of histamine H1 receptors with a stabilising action on mast cells, it is used (usually as its hydrogen fumarate salt) for the treatment of asthma, where it may take several weeks to exert its full effect.

"Clinical reports have shown that some antihistamines, such as ketotifen, occasionally produced seizures, especially in pre-school age children or young patients with epilepsy."7.78The effect of antihistamines on seizures induced by increasing-current electroshocks: ketotifen, but not olopatadine, promotes the seizures in infant rats. ( Kanda, T; Takizawa, F; Tamura, T; Yamada, K, 2012)

( Kanda, T; Takizawa, F; Tamura, T; Yamada, K, 2012)
" The centrally acting histamine H1 antagonists including pyrilamine (mepyramine) and ketotifen showed an acceleration in the rate of electrical stimulation to develop fully kindled convulsive seizures."3.69Centrally acting histamine H1 antagonists promote the development of amygdala kindling in rats. ( Iinuma, K; Onodera, K; Sato, M; Watanabe, T; Yokoyama, H, 1996)
"Ketotifen produced seizures in a 5-year-old boy with secondary generalized epilepsy (SGE) and allergic rhinitis."3.68Proconvulsant effect of ketotifen, a histamine H1 antagonist, confirmed by the use of d-chlorpheniramine with monitoring electroencephalography. ( Iinuma, K; Onodera, K; Sakurai, E; Watanabe, T; Yanai, K; Yokoyama, H, 1993)
"In this study, electroconvulsion was induced by stimulating rats using ear-clip electrodes, and the durations of electroencephalogram (EEG) seizure, tonic extensor (TE) seizure and clonic (CL) seizure induced by maximal electroshock were measured."1.34Influences of histamine H1 receptor antagonists on maximal electroshock seizure in infant rats.
