Description
Curator's Comment: description was created based on several sources, including: https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/drugsatfda_docs/label/2009/090954s000lbl.pdf |http://www.rxlist.com/crolom-drug.htm | https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8809432

Cromolyn is a mast cell stabilizer. In vitro and in vivo animal studies have shown that cromolyn sodium inhibits the degranulation of sensitized mast cells, which occurs after exposure to specific antigens. Cromolyn sodium acts by inhibiting the release of histamine and SRS-A (slow-reacting substance of anaphylaxis) from the mast cell. Cromolyn is indicated in the management of patients with mastocytosis, prophylaxis (long-term control) of bronchial asthma, prevention of exercise-induced bronchospasm, prevention and treatment of seasonal and perennial allergic rhinitis The most frequently reported adverse reactions attributed to cromolyn sodium treatment were: throat irritation or dryness, bad taste, cough, wheeze, nausea.

Sample Use Guides

Oral: Two ampules four times daily, taken one-half hour before meals and at bedtime. Topical: The dose is 1 or 2 drops in each eye 4 to 6 times a day at regular intervals. One drop contains approximately 1.6 mg cromolyn sodium. Respiratory: The usual starting dosage is the contents of one vial (20 mg of sodium cromolyn) administrated by nebulization four times a day at regular intervals. Nasal: Spray once in each nostril in the morning, at noon, at dinner and at bedtime. Begin use 1-2 weeks before nasal allergens exposition.
Route of Administration: Other
In Vitro Use Guide
Sodium cromoglycate was shown to inhibit in dose-related fashion the chemotaxis of eosinophils to zymosan activated serum with an IC50 of approximately 0.2 uM and the chemotaxis of neutrophils to platelet-activating factor with an IC50 of approximately 20 nM.
