About ALLERCROM DROPS 5ML

ALLERCROM DROPS 5ML belongs to the class of ‘anti-inflammatory/anti-allergy drugs’, primarily used to treat signs and symptoms of allergic conjunctivitis and vernal kerato-conjunctivitis (swelling (inflammation) of the outer lining of the eyes). It is used to relieve itching, burning, redness, and watering in the eyes caused by allergic conjunctivitis. Allergic conjunctivitis is termed as an inflammation of the conjunctiva caused by an allergic reaction. Conjunctiva is the clear tissue covering the white part of the eye and the inside of the eyelids.

ALLERCROM DROPS 5ML contains Cromoglicic acid, also referred to as cromolyn, cromoglycate, or cromoglicate. It is a mast cell stabilizer and works by blocking the release of histamine from mast cells. Histamines are chemical messengers that are released due to an allergic response in the body. These chemicals are known to cause allergies like swelling, red, teary, and itchy eyes.
