Availability of Ketotifen

[judyinthesky]

There seems to be a shortage of this mast cell stabiliser in Europe. Does anyone have any idea what else I could take? And what this shortage is related to? Is it Covid, or a general non-availability that I would have to plan with? My pharmacist could not tell me more, but it did sound different than other medications I am sometimes waiting a bit longer for.
