Toma Tablet 1 mg contains Ketotifen Fumarate, an antihistamine with mast cell stabilizing properties. It is used for the prevention and management of allergic conditions such as asthma, allergic rhinitis, and other hypersensitivity reactions. Unlike fast-acting antihistamines, Ketotifen is primarily used for long-term allergy control and prevention of symptoms.
