Frequently asked questions

What is Kruidvat Allergieoogdruppels used for?+
Kruidvat Allergieoogdruppels is an ophthalmic solution containing sodium cromoglicate. It is used to manage symptoms of allergic conjunctivitis and seasonal ocular allergy, such as itching, redness, and watery discharge, by stabilising mast cells in the eye and preventing the release of inflammatory mediators.
How does sodium cromoglicate work?+
Sodium cromoglicate works by binding to the membranes of mast cells in the conjunctiva and cornea, inhibiting calcium‑dependent degranulation. This blocks the release of histamine, prostaglandins, leukotrienes and other mediators that trigger the allergic cascade, thereby reducing ocular inflammation and discomfort.
What determines the usual dose of Kruidvat Allergieoogdruppels?+
The appropriate dosing regimen for Kruidvat Allergieoogdruppels is set by the prescribing eye‑care professional based on the severity of the allergy, patient age and response to therapy. No fixed dosage is provided here; patients should follow the specific instructions given by their clinician.
Is Kruidvat Allergieoogdruppels safe in pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Safety data for sodium cromoglicate in pregnancy and lactation are limited. Women who are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding should discuss potential risks and benefits with their healthcare provider before using this product.
How do I order Kruidvat Allergieoogdruppels from GNH USA?+
To place an enquiry, visit the product page on gnh-usa.com, enter the required quantity and submit the request. GNH USA supplies hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details and any necessary import documentation.
How does Kruidvat Allergieoogdruppels compare with other ocular allergy treatments?+
Unlike antihistamine eye drops that block histamine receptors, sodium cromoglicate acts upstream by stabilising mast cells, offering a preventive approach. Corticosteroid drops are more potent but carry higher risks of intra‑ocular pressure rise and cataract formation. Sodium cromoglicate provides a favourable safety profile for long‑term use in mild‑to‑moderate allergic eye disease.
What are the storage and handling requirements for Kruidvat Allergieoogdruppels?+
Store the eye‑drop bottles at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep them in the original packaging to protect the sterility of the solution. Do not freeze the product, and discard any bottle that appears discoloured or contaminated.
How is Kruidvat Allergieoogdruppels administered?+
Instil the prescribed number of drops into each affected eye, typically one drop per eye, using the dropper tip without touching the ocular surface. Close the eye gently for a few seconds to allow distribution, and avoid blinking excessively immediately after application.
What are the most serious risks to watch for while using this product?+
Although rare, serious adverse events can include severe allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis, acute keratitis or corneal edema, and sudden loss of visual acuity. If any of these symptoms occur, discontinue use immediately and seek urgent medical attention.
Who should not use Kruidvat Allergieoogdruppels?+
Individuals with a known hypersensitivity to sodium cromoglicate or any excipients in the formulation should avoid this product. Patients with active ocular infections or severe eye trauma should consult an eye‑care professional before use, as the drops may not be appropriate in those conditions.
