Sodium cromoglycate
- the sodium salt form of cromolyn, a mast cell stabilizer with anti inflammatory activity. Cromolyn sodium probably interferes with the antigen stimulated calcium transport across the mast cell membrane, thereby inhibiting mast cell release of histamine, leukotrienes, and other substances that cause hypersensitivity reactions. Cromolyn sodium also inhibits eosinophil chemotaxis.
