Safely Buy Cromolyn Sodium Inhalation Solution ( Sodium Cromoglycate ) from Canada Prescriptions Plus.


Indications

Cromolyn sodium inhalation solution is a medication used to prevent symptoms of asthma or bronchospasm (wheezing or difficulty in breathing).

Cromolyn sodium inhalation solution is available as one used in a nebulizer.

Use and Dosage

Cromolyn sodium inhalation solution is used for the prevention and management of asthma symptoms. The recommended dosage for adults and children is typically 20mg inhaled via nebulization four times a day (QID). Once symptoms are stabilized, the dosage may be decreased to two or three times a day (BID/TID).

It can also be used as a prophylactic treatment for bronchospasm triggered by exercise or allergen exposure. A single dose of 20mg should be administered 10-15 minutes before exercise or allergen exposure, but no longer than 1 hour.

Cromolyn sodium inhalation solution can be used as an adjunctive treatment for allergic rhinitis. The specific dosage may vary, and follow the instructions provided by your healthcare professional.

The safety and efficacy of cromolyn sodium inhalation solution in children under 2 years of age have not been established. For children aged 2 years and older, the recommended dosage is the same as for adults.
