Tritofen Syrup is an antiallergic medicine used in the treatment of allergies. It helps provide relief from various allergic reactions in children. An allergic reaction is a response that occurs when foreign particles enter the body. This allergic reaction may vary from person to person.

Tritofen Syrup contains Ketotifen, which is an anti-allergic medicine. It works by blocking the effects of a chemical messenger called ‘histamine. This chemical messenger is naturally involved in allergic reactions. Ketotifen helps to relieve discomfort and unpleasant symptoms like blocked/runny/itchy nose, red/watery eyes, and skin rashes that occur due to allergic conditions.
