Sicrom 4% Eye Drop is used to treat eye redness, itching, and watery eyes caused by allergies such as hay fever, per hair, and house dust mites. An allergy is an immune system response to foreign elements typically not harmful to the body. Eye allergy occurs when the eye becomes red and swollen, leading to inflammation, discomfort, and pain.

Sicrom 4% Eye Drop contains Sodium cromoglycate, which works by stabilising mast cells (immune cells) and preventing the release of histamine, a substance responsible for allergic reactions. Thus, it prevents allergic responses and reduces allergic symptoms.

Sicrom 4% Eye Drop is only for ophthalmic use (eyes). You are advised to use Sicrom 4% Eye Drop for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you based on your medical condition.  In some cases, you may experience stinging or burning in the eyes, blurred vision and eye irritation. Most of these side effects of Sicrom 4% Eye Drop do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects worsen or persist, please consult your doctor. 

If you are allergic to Sodium cromoglycate or other medicines, please tell your doctor. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, please consult a doctor before using Sicrom 4% Eye Drop.

Eye Allergy: An allergy is an immune system reaction to foreign substances that are typically not harmful to your body. Allergens are these alien substances. Everybody has a different level of allergy. Some people might have dietary and seasonal allergies like hay fever. Others, however, might be allergic to pet dander or pollen. Eye allergy occurs when the eye becomes swollen and red, causing pain, inflammation, and discomfort.

Seasonal allergic conjunctivitis: This condition, commonly called 'Hay fever,' occurs mostly in the summer, spring, or early fall. It is usually triggered by grass, pollen, and other airborne allergens. Symptoms include sudden swelling, burning, and itching of the eyelids.

Perennial allergic conjunctivitis: It affects you throughout the year and is caused by allergies to substances such as animal fur or house dust mites. Common symptoms include light sensitivity, itching and burning of the eyes.
