Eye Drops & Ointments

Itchy eyes?  Get fast-acting, long-lasting relief with Alaway® eye drops.  Alaway (ketotifen fumarate ophthalmic solution) Antihistamine Eye Drops provide temporary relief for itchy eyes due to ragweed, pollen, grass, animal hair and dander.  

Original Rx strength Alaway, now available over-the-counter, quickly stops the itch within minutes and provides up to 12 hours of symptom relief.  That's up to 3 times longer than the leading over-the-counter allergy eye drop¹.  So you get fast-acting and long-lasting relief in a single dose.

Alaway eye drops contain the same strength active ingredient and is shown to be therapeutically equivalent to Zaditor, the former prescription brand of ketotifen fumarate, now available over-the-counter.
