What “generic Zaditor” means
Zaditor is the brand name for the antihistamine eye drop ketotifen fumarate (used for allergy-related itchy eyes). A “generic Zaditor” would be an equivalent eye drop with the same active ingredient (ketotifen fumarate), typically sold under different brand/generic names.
What generic vs. brand should be the same for eye drops
When a product is a true generic for Zaditor, key things are expected to match the reference product: the active ingredient (ketotifen fumarate), the strength (concentration), and the route of administration (ophthalmic/eye drops). Differences are usually limited to inactive ingredients (like preservatives), package labeling, and appearance.
What to check before switching
Before using a “generic Zaditor,” check the label for:
- Active ingredient: ketotifen fumarate
- Strength/concentration (so you match the same dosing strength)
- “Ophthalmic” formulation (it should be made for the eye)
Who makes generic ketotifen eye drops?
Generic ketotifen fumarate ophthalmic products are typically made by multiple manufacturers and marketed under generic names or store/alternate brand labels. If you want, tell me your country (or link a photo of your Zaditor/generic label), and I can help you confirm whether a specific product is the ketotifen fumarate equivalent.
