Ketotifen is a second-generation noncompetitive H1-antihistamine and mast cell stabilizer with a half life of around 12 hours. Due to its antihistiamine properties, it will bring down regulation of the beta receptors to a halt which we delve into more eventually. It is most commonly sold in as a salt of fumaric acid, ketotifen fumarate, and is available in two different deliveries. We as weekend warriors want to use its oral form, which is used to prevent asthma attacks. Side effects include drowsiness, weight gain, dry mouth, irritability, and increased nosebleeds, appetite, change, diarrhea, chills, increased sweating and insomnia.

Ketotifen Inceases LBM
Individuals with wasting syndrome lose muscle aka lean body mass rather than body fat which is due to the lack of anabolic hormones in their body. Several possible alternatives to the approved drugs for AIDS-related wasting are discussed, one of them being Ketotifen. TNF inhibitors prevent inflammation from causing diseases such as Chron’s disease. As a reminder, inflammation is the biggest cause of all diseases. TNF-inhibitors also increase hunger as a decrease inflammation tends to lead in an increase in metabolic rate. This would make perfect sense since an elevated metabolic rate is associated with a healthy immune system. A study combining ketotifen and oxymetholone, the oral anabolic steroid, was presented at the Ninth International AIDS Conference. Preliminary data from a study combining ketotifen and oxymetholone showed that 18 out of 22 patients gained an average of 11.4 pounds after treatment of an average of 3.9 weeks. Sure it was not ketotifen alone, but considering their state of condition, it sure did not counter the effects of oxymetholone. (Smart T. GMHC Treat Issues. 1995 May;9(5):7-8, 12.)
