Sodium Cromoglycate inhibits the degranulation of sensitized mast cells which occurs after exposure to specific antigens. Sodium Cromoglycate acts by inhibiting the release of histamine and SRS-A (slow-reacting substance of anaphylaxis) from the mast cell.
Cromolin is indicated in the treatment of allergic conjunctivitis, vernal keratoconjunctivitis, vernal conjunctivitis and vernal keratitis, Hay fever conjunctivitis, giant papillary conjunctivitis.
Usual recommended dose: 1-2 drops in each eye 4-6 times a day at regular intervals. But several studies proved that 4% sodium cromoglycate eye-drops twice daily is as effective as 2% sodium cromoglycate four times daily in the treatment of seasonal allergic conjunctivitis.
It is contraindicated in those patients who have shown hypersensitivity to Sodium Cromoglycate or to any of the other ingredients of eye drops.
