Indications & Uses
Sodium Cromoglicate [4%] is used to prevent and treat acute and chronic allergic conjunctivitis, both seasonal and perennial. That includes hay fever and keratoconjunctivitis, vernal conjunctivitis, and allergic conjunctivitis caused by wearing contact lenses.
Pharmacology
Sodium Cromoglycate stops sensitised mast cells from breaking open (degranulating) after they meet specific antigens. It does this by blocking the release of histamine and SRS-A (slow-reacting substance of anaphylaxis) from the mast cell.
