Nalcrom capsules contain the mast cell stabilizer, sodium cromoglycate 100mg used to control inflammatory disorders of an allergic origin.
Mast cell stabilizers prevent the release of histamine and related compounds such as cytokines, seen in allergic responses, helping to reduce cellular inflammation. Reducing inflammation helps to restore normal digestive function.
Nalcrom is commonly prescribed for chronic inflammatory conditions such as food allergies, proctitis, irritable bowel disease, ulcerative colitis and proctocolitis.
The usual dosage for adults is two capsules taken four times daily until symptoms become manageable. The dose may be reduced to the lowest level necessary to maintain symptomatic control.
