What does it do?

Cromolyn sodium is classified as an antihistamine and is primarily used for the treatment of allergic conjunctivitis. This ingredient helps to prevent allergic reactions and alleviate symptoms by being applied to the eyes.

Cromolyn sodium prevents the release of allergy mediators such as histamine from mast cells, thereby reducing inflammation and itching. This helps to prevent and relieve allergic symptoms in the eyes.
