ketotifen and Cirrhosis

ketotifen has been researched along with Cirrhosis in 4 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.

" Oral treatment with ketotifen, an inhibitor of mast cell degranulation, at a dose comparable to that recommended for man, was associated with a decrease in both mast cell degranulation and in skin fibrosis, suggesting the potential for its use in human scleroderma."7.68Ketotifen prevents skin fibrosis in the tight skin mouse. ( Harley, R; LeRoy, EC; Walker, M, 1990)
"Treatment with ketotifen decreased tissue hydroxyproline levels, histological damage, and the stenosis index."5.32Ketotifen ameliorates development of fibrosis in alkali burns of the esophagus. ( Karaoglu, AO; Ozutemiz, O; Tuncyurek, M; Yenisey, C; Yukselen, V, 2004)
