Reporting of suspected adverse reactions
Reporting suspected adverse reactions after authorisation of the medicinal product is important. It allows continued monitoring of the benefit/risk balance of the medicinal product. Healthcare professionals are asked to report any suspected adverse reactions via Yellow Card Scheme at: www.mhra.gov.uk/yellowcard
As Nalcrom is only absorbed to a minimum extent, no action other than medical supervision should be necessary.
Pharmacotherapeutic group: Antiallergic agents, excluding corticosteroids, ATC Code: A07EB01
Sodium cromoglicate inhibits the release from mast cells of mediators of the allergic reaction. In gastrointestinal allergy the release of mediators can result in gastrointestinal symptoms or may allow absorption of antigenic material leading to systemic allergic reactions.
Not applicable
Animal studies have shown that sodium cromoglicate has a very low order of local or systemic toxicity.
