Sodium Cromoglycate is used to prevent certain types of allergic reactions. The medication inhibits release of histamines and other chemicals from mast cells, and as such is often referred to as a mast cell stabilizer.

It is possible to buy sodium cromoglycate in a variety of formulations to address different types of allergies:

• Eye drops to treat allergic conjunctivitis in the eye;
• Inhalers or nebulizer solution to manage asthma symptoms;
• Nasal spray to manage allergic rhinitis;
• Tablets or oral solutions to manage allergic conditions of the skin and food allergies.

It is crucial that sodium cromoglycate be taken regularly to achieve maximum benefit. Disruption in administration schedules may cause symptoms to quickly resurface.

The medication is sold under a range of brand names, depending on location and intended use; in most areas it's also possible to buy sodium cromoglycate in generic form for the above purposes.

Sodium Cromoglycate Eye Drops

Patients often buy sodium cromoglycate eye drops as both a preventive measure and to treat existing symptoms of itchy, watery, red eyes. Treatment is similar in both cases:

• Administer 1 to 2 drops in each eye.
• Repeat 4 to 6 times per day, evenly spaced apart.
• Continue for as long as needed.
• If preventing allergic conjunctivitis, begin treatment one week prior to allergen exposure.

If treating existing symptoms, significant improvements should be noticed within a day or two of starting treatment. Rarely it may take longer, and in tough cases a doctor may recommend additional treatments along with sodium cromoglycate.

Some patients experience a temporary burning or stinging sensation when the medication is applied; this is not cause for concern unless persistent or severe. Discontinue use if an eye infection develops.

Inhaled Sodium Cromoglycate

Sodium cromoglycate is used to manage asthma when delivered by inhaler or nebulizer. Note that it is a preventive treatment which reduces the frequency and severity or asthma attacks; do not buy sodium cromoglycate to replace a rescue inhaler.

Treatment is similar to other preventive inhalers:

• Take 2 puffs 4 times per day, spaced evenly apart.
• Continue as long as needed.

Some asthmatics find taking an additional puff shortly before a triggering activity---such as exercise or exposure to animal dander---provides additional benefit as far as preventing or reducing symptoms.

Side effects include mild throat irritation, headache, sneezing or runny nose. These effects are usually transient and disappear with continued treatment.

Sodium Cromoglycate Nasal Spray

Nasal sprays, similar to eye drops, are used to both prevent symptoms and treat existing symptoms of allergic rhinitis. This formulation helps manage allergy symptoms in the nasal passages; runny or stuffy nose, post-nasal drip, sneezing and itching of the nose or throat. The medication is helpful with both indoor and outdoor allergies, from pollen and pollution to pet dander and dust.

Administration is simple:

• Deliver 1 spray to each nostril 4 times per day.
• If using to prevent symptoms, begin treatment 2 to 3 weeks prior to exposure.

Side effects include mild stinging or burning in nostrils and mild nosebleeds. If these symptoms become severe, or any sign of infection develops, discontinue use and seek medical attention.

Sodium Cromoglycate Tablets

Tablets and other orally-administered forms of sodium cromoglycate are used in a range of conditions, most commonly to treat chronic itching conditions of the skin and to help manage food allergies. Because some food allergies can rapidly become life-threatening, patients are advised to use this treatment only with doctor approval. It may not prevent severe reactions.

Treatment is roughly similar in all uses, but some variance is not unusual:

• Take 200 mg 4 times per day, ideally spaced evenly apart.
• If taking for food allergies, administration should occur 30 to 60 minutes prior to a meal if possible; all 4 daily doses should still be taken, however, even without food.
• Continue treatment for as long as it provides benefit.

The most common side effects with oral sodium cromoglycate are nausea and joint pain. These effects are often transient; speak with a doctor if they become severe enough to be disruptive.
