Lecrolyn ophthalmic solution is indicated for the treatment of allergic conjunctivitis.
A decade of experience of the use sodium cromoglycate in the treatment of red and itching eyes confirms its position among the allergy medications available.
Allergens, e.g. pollen, stimulate the mast cell to explode if not prevented, and cause symptoms such as redness and itching of the eyes and increased tear production. Lecrolyn prevents these symptoms during treatment.
For optimal results, Lecrolyn treatment should be used prophylactically, i.e., started before symptoms appear, in order to block the release of chemicals such as histamines from the millions of mast cells in the eye.
It is important to continue the Lecrolyn treatment throughout the allergy season even after irritating signs and symptoms have disappeared.
