Alcaftadine is a broad-spectrum antihistamine displaying a high affinity for histamine H1 and H2 receptors and a lower affinity for H4 receptors. It also exhibits modulatory action on immune cell recruitment and mast cell stabilizing effects. Alcaftadine is an inhibitor of the release of histamine from mast cells. Decreased chemotaxis and inhibition of eosinophil activation has also been demonstrated. LASTACAFT® (alcaftadine ophthalmic solution) indicated for the prevention of itching associated with allergic conjunctivitis.

Comment: Human liver microsomes (10 donors/patients); Following 2 mg oral dose of alcaftadine, co-administered ketoconazole (a CYP3A4 inhibitor) was found not to inhibit the in vivo metabolism of alcaftadine as there was no changes in the plasma concentrations of alcaftadine and the AUC of the metabolite R90692 increased 10% following co-administration of ketoconazole.
