DescriptionCromolyn (KROE-moe-lin) nasal solution is used to help prevent or treat the symptoms (sneezing, wheezing, runny nose, itching) of seasonal (short-term) or chronic (long-term) allergic rhinitis.

Nasal cromolyn is available without a prescription in the U.S., however, in Canada, it requires a prescription from your doctor. It is available in the following dosage forms:
