Claritin Eye and Zyrtec Itchy Eye Drops don't contain the active ingredient that you'd expect

October 2009

Claritin Eye and Zyrtec Itchy Eye Drops don't contain the active ingredient that you'd expect.

But both actually contain ketotifen...the same antihistamine and mast cell stabilizer that's in OTC Alaway and Zaditor.
