Nasalcrom

Generic name:
Brand names: Intal, Nasalcrom

Why is Nasalcrom prescribed?

Nasalcrom contains the antiasthmatic/antiallergic medication cromolyn sodium.

Different forms of the drug are used to manage bronchial asthma, to prevent asthma attacks, and to prevent and treat seasonal and chronic allergies.

The drug works by preventing certain cells in the body from releasing substances that can cause allergic reactions or prompt too much bronchial activity. It also helps prevent bronchial constriction caused by exercise, aspirin, cold air, and certain environmental pollutants such as sulfur dioxide.

Most important fact about Nasalcrom

Nasalcrom does not help an acute asthma attack. When taken to prevent severe bronchial asthma, it can be 4 weeks before you feel its maximum benefit, though some people get relief sooner. Do not discontinue the inhalation capsules or nasal solution abruptly without the advice of your doctor.

How should you take Nasalcrom?

Nasalcrom capsules should not be swallowed. They are for inhalation using the Spinhaler turbo-inhaler. The contents of 1 capsule are usually inhaled 4 times daily at regular intervals. Wash the Spinhaler in warm water at least once a week; dry thoroughly. Replace the Spinhaler every 6 months.

Nasalcrom nebulizer solution should be inhaled using a power-operated nebulizer equipped with an appropriate face mask or mouthpiece. Hand-operated nebulizers are not suitable. It is important that the solution be inhaled at regular intervals, usually 4 times per day.

Nasalcrom aerosol spray can be used either for chronic asthma or to prevent an asthma attack. For chronic asthma, it must be inhaled at regular intervals, as directed by your doctor, usually 2 sprays inhaled 4 times daily. To prevent an asthma attack caused by exercise, cold air, or other irritants, the usual dose of 2 inhalation sprays should be taken between 10 and 60 minutes before exercising or exposure to cold or pollutants.

Nasalcrom nasal solution should be used with a metered nasal spray device, which should be replaced every 6 months. Blow your nose to clear your nasal passages before administering the spray. The nasal solution is used for nasal congestion due to seasonal or chronic allergies. For seasonal allergies, treatment is more effective if begun before the start of the allergy season. Treatment should then continue throughout the season. For year-round allergies, treatment may be required for up to 4 weeks before results are seen. Your doctor may find it necessary to add other allergy medications, such as antihistamines or decongestants, during initial treatment.

--If you miss a dose...

Take it as soon as you remember. Then take the rest of that day"s doses at equally spaced intervals. Do not take 2 doses at once.

--Storage instructions...

Store at room temperature, away from light and heat. Keep the ampules in their foil pouch until you are ready to use them.

What side effects may occur?

Side effects cannot be anticipated. If any develop or change in intensity, inform your doctor as soon as possible. Only your doctor can determine if it is safe for you to continue taking Nasalcrom.

  • More common side effects may include:
    Cough, nasal congestion or irritation, nausea, sneezing, throat irritation, wheezing

Why should Nasalcrom not be prescribed?

If you are sensitive to or have ever had an allergic reaction to cromolyn sodium or lactose, you should not take Nasalcrom. Make sure your doctor is aware of any drug reactions you have experienced.

Special warnings about Nasalcrom

Asthma symptoms may recur if the recommended dosage of Nasalcrom is reduced or discontinued. Nasalcrom has no role in the treatment of an acute asthmatic attack once it has begun. Obtain medical help immediately if you experience a severe attack.

If you have liver or kidney problems, your doctor may have to reduce the dosage or even take you off the drug altogether.

When using the capsules, you may accidentally inhale some powder, which can irritate your throat or make you cough. Try rinsing your mouth or taking a drink of water immediately before and/or after using the Spinhaler.

If your heartbeat is ever irregular or if you have any other kind of heart trouble, be sure your doctor knows about it before you use Nasalcrom aerosol spray.

Nasalcrom aerosol spray may not help you if your attack has been brought on by exercise.

Possible food and drug interactions when taking Nasalcrom

If you are taking other prescription or nonprescription drugs, discuss this with your doctor to determine if these drugs would interact with Nasalcrom.

Special information if you are pregnant or breastfeeding

The effects of Nasalcrom during pregnancy have not been adequately studied. If you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant, inform your doctor immediately. It is not known whether Nasalcrom appears in breast milk. As with all medication, a nursing woman should use Nasalcrom only after careful consultation with her doctor.
