Cromolyn Sodium for Sinus and Nasal Care
What Is Cromolyn Sodium?
Cromolyn Sodium is a non-steroidal medication used to manage sinus and nasal conditions caused by allergies and inflammation. As a mast cell stabilizer, Cromolyn Sodium prevents the release of histamine and other inflammatory chemicals, making it an effective treatment for allergic rhinitis and related nasal issues.
At King’s Pharmacy and Compounding Center, we offer customized Cromolyn Sodium formulations to provide targeted relief for sinus and nasal inflammation.
How Cromolyn Sodium Works for Sinus and Nasal Conditions
Cromolyn Sodium works by stabilizing mast cells, which are responsible for releasing histamine during allergic reactions. By preventing this release, the medication helps reduce inflammation, nasal congestion, and other allergy-related symptoms, making it especially useful for managing chronic or seasonal allergies.
