Abstract
Described herein are methods of treating a mammal in need of treatment for non-histaminic pruritus by administering to the mammal in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of RS-norketotifen or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, thereby reducing the desire to scratch in the mammal. Non-histaminergic types of pruritus are resistant to treatment with selective histamine H-1-, H-2- and H-4-receptor inhibitors. In certain aspects, the non-histaminergic pruritus is associated with diabetes.
