What is Sodium Cromoglicate?

Sodium cromoglicate, the active ingredient in Lecrolyn Sine, is a mast cell stabilizer presented as an ophthalmic solution for ocular use. It is employed to manage allergic conjunctivitis and mast cell‑mediated ocular allergy in patients requiring topical anti‑allergic therapy.

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?

Lecrolyn Sine is a mast cell stabilizer used to treat ocular allergic conditions by preventing mediator release.

Allergic conjunctivitis: reduces itching, redness and watery discharge caused by allergens. Mast cell‑mediated ocular allergy: stabilises ocular mast cells to prevent inflammation. Seasonal allergic eye disease: provides relief during pollen seasons by limiting histamine release.

What are the side effects of Sodium Cromoglicate?

Adverse reactions are generally mild and localized to the eye.

Common Side Effects: - Transient ocular irritation or burning sensation. - Stinging upon instillation. - Blurred vision lasting a few minutes. - Mild conjunctival hyperemia. - Foreign body sensation. - Temporary increased tear production.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Allergic contact dermatitis of the eyelid. - Severe eye inflammation or keratitis. - Corneal ulceration. - Anaphylactic reaction (extremely rare).

What precautions apply to Sodium Cromoglicate?

When using Lecrolyn Sine, consider the following safety measures.

Avoid use with contact lenses: remove lenses before and after administration. Discontinue if severe irritation occurs: seek ophthalmic evaluation. Do not exceed prescribed frequency: follow prescriber instructions. Keep out of reach of children: store securely. Store at room temperature below 25°C: keep in the original container, protect from moisture and direct sunlight.

What does Sodium Cromoglicate interact with?

Lecrolyn Sine may interact with other ophthalmic agents; monitor for combined effects.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Topical ocular anesthetics: may increase ocular irritation. - Other mast cell stabilisers: concurrent use offers no added benefit and may increase local discomfort.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Antihistamine eye drops: may reduce the stabilising effect of sodium cromoglicate. - Systemic antihistamines: additive sedation is unlikely but monitor patient response. - Contact lens cleaning solutions: may affect drug stability; ensure lenses are removed during treatment.

Frequently asked questions

What is Lecrolyn Sine used for?+
Lecrolyn Sine is an ophthalmic solution containing sodium cromoglicate, used to treat allergic conjunctivitis and mast cell‑mediated ocular allergy by stabilising mast cells and reducing eye inflammation.
How does sodium cromoglicate work in the eye?+
Sodium cromoglicate binds to mast cell membranes in the ocular surface, inhibiting calcium influx and preventing degranulation. This blocks the release of histamine and other inflammatory mediators, thereby reducing allergic eye symptoms.
What is the usual dose of Lecrolyn Sine?+
The dosing regimen for Lecrolyn Sine is determined by the prescribing ophthalmologist based on the severity of the allergic condition and patient response. Patients should follow the specific instructions provided by their healthcare professional.
Is Lecrolyn Sine safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Safety data for sodium cromoglicate in pregnancy and lactation are limited. The prescriber should evaluate the risk‑benefit profile for each individual, and the medication should only be used if clearly needed.
How do I order Lecrolyn Sine from GNH USA?+
To place an order, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnh-usa.com specifying the required quantity. GNH USA works with 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 Lecrolyn Sine compare with other ocular anti‑allergic drugs?+
Unlike antihistamine eye drops that block histamine receptors, Lecrolyn Sine stabilises mast cells, preventing the release of multiple inflammatory mediators. This broader mechanism can provide more comprehensive control of allergic eye symptoms for some patients.
How should Lecrolyn Sine be stored and handled?+
Store the ophthalmic solution at room temperature below 25 °C, in its original packaging, protected from moisture and direct sunlight. Keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use.
How is Lecrolyn Sine administered?+
Lecrolyn Sine is applied as eye drops. The prescribed number of drops is placed into the conjunctival sac of the affected eye(s) according to the prescriber’s instructions, usually several times daily.
What are the most serious risks associated with Lecrolyn Sine?+
Serious but rare risks include allergic contact dermatitis of the eyelid, severe eye inflammation such as keratitis, corneal ulceration, and anaphylaxis. Any signs of severe ocular reaction require immediate medical attention.
Who should not use Lecrolyn Sine?+
Patients with known hypersensitivity to sodium cromoglicate or any component of the formulation should avoid using Lecrolyn Sine. Individuals with active severe eye infections should also defer use until cleared by an ophthalmologist.
