Cromoglicate 4% Eye Drops (Cromopar) are used primarily for the prevention and treatment of allergic eye conditions. Here's an overview of how it works and when it’s typically used: 🔹 Primary Uses Allergic Conjunctivitis Cromoglicate (also known as Sodium Cromoglycate) is a mast cell stabilizer that helps to prevent the release of histamine and other inflammatory mediators. This makes it effective for treating eye allergies such as: Seasonal Allergies (e.g., pollen) Perennial Allergies (e.g., dust, pet dander) Preventing Eye Symptoms of Allergies Relieves symptoms such as itchiness, redness, watering, and swelling associated with allergic reactions in the eyes. 🔹 How It Works Cromoglicate works by stabilizing mast cells in the eye, which are responsible for releasing histamine during allergic reactions. By preventing this release, the eye drop reduces inflammation and relieves allergy symptoms. ⚠️ Common Side Effects Temporary burning or stinging after application Mild eye irritation Blurred vision (typically short-term) Dryness in the eye (rare) 🔹 Usage Tips Frequency: Usually, 1 drop in each eye 4 times a day (or as prescribed by your doctor). Application: Wash your hands before use. Tilt your head back and pull down your lower eyelid. Drop the medication into the pocket formed by your lower eyelid. Close your eye gently and blink to spread the solution. Avoid touching the dropper tip to your eye or any surface to prevent contamination. Duration: It works best when used regularly (even when you’re not experiencing symptoms) to prevent allergic reactions. 🔹 Precautions Contact Lenses: Wait at least 15 minutes before putting your contact lenses back in. Consistency: The drops should be used regularly to manage symptoms, and the full course should be completed even if symptoms improve. Avoid: If you have sensitivity to any ingredients, consult your doctor before use.
