Uses / Indications:
Your doctor may give you Cromol Forte Eye Drop for:
Allergic conjunctivitis is when allergens like dust, pollen, or animal dander cause inflammation in the eyes.
Vernal keratoconjunctivitis is a long-term allergic eye disorder that is common in kids.
Allergic eye problems that happen in certain seasons and all year round
Irritation of the eyes caused by allergies or contaminants in the environment
Pregnancy interaction:
Cromol Forte Eye Drop has Sodium Cromoglycate (Cromolyn Sodium) in it. This is an anti-allergic medicine that is used to treat eye allergies.
It is generally seen to be safe to use during pregnancy because it is only put on the eyes and doesn't get into the rest of the body very much.
But there isn't much safety data on pregnant women, so you should only use it if you really need to and your doctor tells you to.
If you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant, you should always tell your doctor before you start taking this medicine.
Expert advice:
This eye solution stops allergy symptoms, although it doesn't work right away.
Even when your symptoms go away, use it daily for optimal effects.
To keep it clean, don't contact the tip of the dropper.
Take out your contact lenses before using the product, and then put them back in 15 to 20 minutes later.
Keep away from direct sunlight and at room temperature.
If the solution changes color, is foggy, or has particles in it, don't use it.
Even if there is still solution in the bottle, throw it away 30 days after opening.
Side Effects:
A little bit of burning or stinging in the eyes
Vision may be blurry for a short time after use.
Eyes that are watery
Eyes that are dry or irritated
Side effects that are not common:
Swelling of the eyes
Pain or redness in the eyes
Allergic response (rash, itching, trouble breathing)
Stop using the drops right once if you have extreme discomfort or changes in your vision.
How to use:
Before putting on the drops, make sure to wash your hands well.
To make a little pocket, tilt your head back a little and draw down your lower eyelid.
Put the dropper above your eye and let the right number of drops fall.
Gently close your eyes and don't blink too much.
To keep it clean, don't let the dropper tip touch anything or your eye.
If you are using other eye drops, you should wait at least 5 to 10 minutes between each one.
Note: It can take a few days to weeks for all of your symptoms to go away. Keep taking the medicine as directed.
How it works:
Cromol Forte Eye Drop works by:
Keeping mast cells in the eyes stable,
Stopping the release of histamine and other things that cause allergies,
Lessening symptoms of allergic conjunctivitis, such as redness, itching, wetness, and swelling.
It doesn't work right away; you have to use it often to keep allergy symptoms from coming back.
