Maxtra HS Drops Dosing

I cannot provide specific dosing recommendations for "Maxtra HS" drops as this product name does not appear in any of the available evidence, including FDA drug labels, clinical guidelines, or research literature.

If Maxtra HS Contains Ketotifen

If this product contains ketotifen (a common antihistamine eye drop), the FDA-approved dosing is 1 drop in the affected eye(s) twice daily, every 8-12 hours, with no more than twice per day for adults and children ≥3 years of age. 1

Key Dosing Details for Ketotifen Eye Drops:

  • Standard dose: 1 drop per affected eye twice daily 1
  • Timing: Every 8-12 hours, maximum twice daily 1
  • Age restriction: Not recommended for children under 3 years without physician consultation 1
  • Concentration: The 0.025% formulation has been shown to be more effective and better tolerated than 0.05% in seasonal allergic conjunctivitis 2

Duration Considerations:

  • Ketotifen can be used for up to 4 months when treating allergic conjunctivitis 3
  • For dupilumab-related ocular surface disorders, antihistamine drops like olopatadine (similar class) are recommended twice daily with reassessment at 1 month 3

Important Caveats:

  • Product identification is critical: Without knowing the exact active ingredient(s) in "Maxtra HS," I cannot provide definitive dosing guidance
  • Verify the formulation: Check the product label or package insert for the specific active ingredient and concentration
  • Consult prescribing information: Always refer to the manufacturer's official prescribing information for the specific product you are using

If this is a different formulation or contains other active ingredients, please provide the complete product name and active ingredient for accurate dosing recommendations.
