Ambiguous results of prolonged postoperative ketotifen use on gastrointestinal passage have been found. The current data point at a hampered gastrointestinal transit after prolonged postoperative ketotifen use in a rodent ileus induction model. Therefore, caution should be taken when administering ketotifen in the perioperative phase.展开更多
