What is Sodium Cromoglicate?

Sodium Cromoglicate, the active ingredient in Opticrom Allergy Single Dose, 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 Opticrom Allergy Single Dose as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, pharmacies and clinics worldwide.

What is Sodium Cromoglicate used for?

Sodium Cromoglicate acts on allergic eye conditions to prevent mast cell degranulation and reduce inflammatory symptoms.

Allergic conjunctivitis: alleviates itching, redness and tearing associated with allergic eye inflammation. Ocular allergy: stabilises mast cells to prevent histamine release and improve comfort. Allergic eye inflammation: reduces swelling and irritation caused by environmental allergens.

What are the side effects of Sodium Cromoglicate?

Common Side Effects: - Transient burning or stinging sensation after instillation. - Mild eye irritation or foreign‑body feeling. - Temporary blurred vision. - Increased tearing or watery discharge. - Conjunctival hyperemia (redness). - Slight eyelid swelling.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Severe ocular pain or photophobia. - Corneal ulceration or epithelial defects. - Vision loss or sudden visual acuity change. - Allergic reaction with swelling of the eyelids or periorbital area. - Anaphylaxis (extremely rare). - Persistent intra‑ocular inflammation.

What precautions apply to Sodium Cromoglicate?

Before using Opticrom Allergy Single Dose, consider the following precautions: - Pregnancy: consult a healthcare professional before use. - Breastfeeding: safety has not been established; discuss with a physician. - Contact lens wearers: remove lenses before instillation and wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting. - Existing ocular infection: avoid use until infection is resolved. - Avoid contamination: use only the single‑dose unit and discard after opening. - 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 ophthalmic agents.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Concurrent use with ophthalmic anesthetics may increase corneal toxicity. - Co‑administration with other mast cell stabilisers can heighten ocular irritation. - Use with preservative‑rich eye drops may exacerbate stinging.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Combination with topical antihistamines may cause additive burning sensation. - Use with corticosteroid eye drops generally safe but monitor for increased intra‑ocular pressure. - Simultaneous use with contact lens cleaning solutions may cause lens discoloration.
