What is Sodium Cromoglicate?

Sodium Cromoglicate, the active ingredient in Lecrolyn Sine, is a mast cell stabilizer presented as a sterile ophthalmic solution for ocular use. It treats allergic conjunctivitis and ocular allergy in patients who experience eye irritation due to allergens.

GNH USA supplies Lecrolyn Sine as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, pharmacies and clinics worldwide.

What is Sodium Cromoglicate used for?

Sodium Cromoglicate is used to manage ocular allergic conditions by stabilising mast cells and preventing inflammatory mediator release.

Allergic conjunctivitis: reduces itching, redness and swelling of the eyes. Ocular allergy: prevents symptoms such as tearing and burning caused by allergen exposure. Seasonal allergic conjunctivitis: provides relief during pollen seasons.

What are the side effects of Sodium Cromoglicate?

Adverse reactions may occur with ocular use of sodium cromoglicate.

Common Side Effects: - Stinging or burning sensation upon instillation - Transient blurred vision - Mild eye irritation or itching - Temporary conjunctival hyperemia - Slight discharge or tearing - Mild foreign‑body sensation

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Allergic reaction (e.g., eyelid swelling, rash) - Severe eye pain or photophobia - Vision loss or sudden visual disturbance - Corneal ulcer or keratitis - Persistent redness or inflammation - Anaphylaxis (rare)

What precautions apply to Sodium Cromoglicate?

Before using Lecrolyn Sine, consider the following precautions.

Avoid use in patients with known hypersensitivity to sodium cromoglicate or formulation excipients. Do not apply if the eye is infected or has a corneal ulcer without physician guidance. Monitor for signs of ocular irritation; discontinue if severe discomfort persists. Contact lenses should be removed before instillation and reinserted after the solution has been absorbed. Store at room temperature: keep in the original container, protect from light and moisture.

What does Sodium Cromoglicate interact with?

Sodium cromoglicate may interact with other ocular medications; review the following.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Concurrent use with preservative‑containing contact lens solutions may increase ocular irritation. - Simultaneous administration of topical ocular anesthetics can mask adverse reactions.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Use with topical antihistamines may reduce the stabilising effect of sodium cromoglicate. - Co‑administration of corticosteroid eye drops may increase risk of infection. - Systemic antihistamines may exacerbate dry‑eye symptoms when combined with ocular therapy.

Frequently asked questions

What is Lecrolyn Sine used for?+
Lecrolyn Sine contains sodium cromoglicate, a mast cell stabiliser indicated for the treatment of allergic conjunctivitis and other ocular allergic conditions. It helps relieve eye itching, redness, and swelling caused by allergen exposure.
How does sodium cromoglicate work in the eye?+
Sodium cromoglicate stabilises mast cells in the conjunctiva, preventing calcium‑dependent degranulation. This blocks the release of histamine and other inflammatory mediators, reducing the allergic response and associated eye irritation.
What is the usual dose of Lecrolyn Sine?+
The dosing regimen for Lecrolyn Sine is determined by the prescribing clinician based on the severity of the allergic condition and patient response. The prescriber will specify the number of drops and frequency of administration.
Is Lecrolyn Sine safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Safety data for sodium cromoglicate in pregnancy and lactation are limited. Clinicians should weigh the potential benefits against any possible risks and consider alternative therapies if appropriate.
How do I order Lecrolyn Sine from GNH USA?+
To order, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnh-usa.com, providing the required quantity. GNH USA supplies hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then replies with pricing, availability, shipping details and any necessary import documentation.
How does Lecrolyn Sine compare with other ocular allergy treatments?+
Unlike antihistamine eye drops that block histamine receptors, sodium cromoglicate works upstream by stabilising mast cells, offering a preventative approach. It is often used when patients need a non‑steroidal option with a favourable safety profile.
What are the storage requirements for Lecrolyn Sine?+
Lecrolyn Sine should be stored at room temperature, below 25 °C, in its original packaging. Keep the container tightly closed, protect it from light and moisture, and discard any product that appears discoloured or contaminated.
How is Lecrolyn Sine administered?+
The product is applied as an ophthalmic solution. The patient should wash hands, tilt the head back, pull down the lower eyelid, and instil the prescribed number of drops into the conjunctival sac. Contact lenses should be removed before use.
What are the most serious risks associated with Lecrolyn Sine?+
Serious risks, though rare, include severe allergic reactions such as eyelid swelling, rash, or anaphylaxis, as well as corneal ulceration or sudden vision loss. Any of these symptoms require immediate medical attention.
Who should not use Lecrolyn Sine?+
Patients with a known hypersensitivity to sodium cromoglicate or any excipients in the formulation should avoid using Lecrolyn Sine. It is also contraindicated in eyes with active infection or corneal ulceration unless directed by a physician.
