Ann Allergy. 1989 Apr;62(4):322-5.

Abstract

A double-blind study was performed in 305 patients to compare ketotifen capsule and clemastine tablet. Ketotifen alleviated eruption and itching to a significantly greater extent than clemastine. The utility rating of ketotifen was significantly higher than that of clemastine.
