March 2000
This spring you'll see three new eye drops for itching due to allergic conjunctivitis...Alocril (nedocromil, Allergan), Alamast (pemirolast, Santen), and Zaditor (ketotifen, Ciba Vision).
Alocril and Alamast are mast cell stabilizers...similar to Alomide (lodoxamide) and Crolom (cromolyn).
These drugs inhibit histamine release. They usually take several days or longer to become effective.
