title: [Effect of ketotifen and oxatomide on histamine liberation due to exposure in cold urticaria].
abstract: Four patients suffering from cold urticaria were treated with ketotifen and oxatomide for one week each. Histamine liberation was measured after the exposure to cold before and after the treatment. A significant inhibition was demonstrated for either product, much more so, however, for oxatomide. This inhibition was associated with a pronounced improvement of complaints.
