Description
Indications
Sodium cromoglycate eye drops are employed to alleviate and prevent symptoms associated with seasonal allergies including itching, tearing, and redness. The mechanism of action involves blocking the release of histamine from specific cells in the body known as mast cells. Sodium cromoglycate belongs to the class of medications referred to as mast cell stabilizers.
Uses and Dosage
To prevent contamination of the bottle tip, replace the cap after each use, and avoid touching the eye, finger, or any other surface with the bottle tip. Ensure thorough handwashing both before and after using the eye drops.
Several factors, including body weight, other medical conditions, and concurrent medications, can influence the appropriate dosage of this medication. If your doctor has recommended a dose different from the ones listed, do not alter the way you use the medication without consulting your doctor or pharmacist.
Follow your doctor’s or pharmacist’s instructions precisely when using this medication. Continue using it for the entire prescribed treatment duration, even if your symptoms resolve. Consistent use during the allergy season helps maintain control over your symptoms.
If you miss a dose, administer it as soon as possible and resume your regular schedule. However, if it’s almost time for your next dose, skip the missed one and continue with your usual dosing schedule. Avoid doubling up on doses to compensate for a missed one. If uncertain about what to do after missing a dose, seek advice from your doctor or pharmacist.
Store the medication at room temperature, shield it from direct sunlight, and keep it out of reach of children. Discard opened bottles after 4 weeks.
To administer the eye drops, the following steps should be followed:
- Thoroughly wash hands with soap and water.
- Do not allow the dropper tip to touch the eye or any other surface, and ensure that it is kept clean.
- Tilt the head back and pull down the lower lid of the eye using the index finger to form a pocket.
- Hold the dropper as close to the eye as possible without making contact, and brace the remaining fingers against the face.
- Squeeze the dropper gently to instill a single drop in the pocket created by the lower eyelid while looking upwards.
- Remove the index finger from the lower eyelid and keep the eye closed for 2-3 minutes while tilting the head down.
- Apply gentle pressure to the tear duct using a finger.
- Use a tissue to wipe off any excess liquid from the face.
- Wash hands to remove any residual medication.
