What is Alaway and how is it used?
Alaway is a brand of antihistamine eye drops designed to relieve itchy eyes resulting from allergic conjunctivitis triggered by common allergens like pollen, pet dander, or ragweed. It works by stabilizing mast cells in the eyes, which helps prevent the release of histamine and other substances that cause allergic symptoms. The drops are approved for adults and children aged three years and older. The typical dosage is one drop in each affected eye every 8 to 12 hours, but you should always confirm the correct dosage with your healthcare provider. Alaway is not intended to treat irritation from contact lenses and should not be used by anyone allergic to ketotifen or any other ingredient in the formulation.
What are the possible side effects of Alaway?
Common side effects of Alaway may include headache, nasal congestion or runny nose, redness in the eyes, and mild eyelid swelling. Less frequently, users may experience burning or stinging upon application, dry eyes, eyelid problems, light sensitivity, fatigue, sore throat, eye discharge, hives, increased eye itching, or rash. This is not an exhaustive list. You should contact your doctor promptly if you experience any concerning symptoms. If side effects persist beyond two to three days or worsen, seek immediate medical attention.
