How Gastrocrom Affects Patients
Cromoglicate (or cromolyn, USAN) is a man-made compound used to treat asthma and allergic rhinitis. It can also be used as eye drops to treat conjunctivitis and taken orally to treat mastocytosis and ulcerative colitis. Cromoglicate works by blocking the airways from narrowing when it comes into contact with an allergen or irritant that would normally cause an asthma attack.
How Gastrocrom works in the body
Cromoglicate works to prevent allergic reactions by blocking the release of histamine and other inflammatory chemicals from mast cells. This is likely done by preventing calcium from entering the cells.
