cromoglycate 2 percent eye drops
In addition, nasal sprays and eye drops containing sodium
cromoglycate help to reduce swelling, itching and sneezing.
While there's no cure, many people are able to control their symptoms with treatment such as antihistamine tablets, nose and eye drops containing steroids, or the 'preventer' sodium
cromoglycate.
Effect of disodium
cromoglycate on asthmatic reactions to alcoholic beverages.
These include corticosteroids, azathioprine, cyclosporine, sodium
cromoglycate, mycophenolate mofetil, ketoconazole and montelukast.
Among topical antihistamines and anti-allergy drugs, ketotifen, olopatadine and epinastine are category C drugs; sodium
cromoglycate and emedastine are in category B.
1) Eleven trials that included 899 children and adults compared mast cell stabilizers (sodium
cromoglycate, nedocromil, and lodoxamide tromethamine) with placebo.
Drugs, such as sodium
cromoglycate, nedocromil sodium, pemirolast, and lodoxamide act by stabilizing mast cells.
Comparative studies with sodium
cromoglycate, a classical mast cell stabilizer, were also made.
10) Other drug types include mast cell stabilisers, such as sodium
cromoglycate 2% and lodoxomide 0.
While
cromoglycate and nedocromil are characterised as "mast cell stabilisers", preventing histamine release, this is not the mechanism of action of these drugs in asthma treatment.
For this reason, sodium
cromoglycate 200 mg three times a day (TID) was added to her treatment with modest improvement of her symptoms.
