Lecrolyn eye drops 20mg/ml 10ml

Lecrolyn (Lecrolin) eye drops - is an antihistamine drug based on sodium cromoglycate for topical application in ophthalmology, used to stop allergic conjunctivitis and keratitis. The drug is suitable for long-term use, does not cause complications and side effects.

Cromoglycic acid refers to substances whose action is directed to the stabilization of mast cell membranes and the inhibition of the release of histamine and other biologically active substances responsible for the development of allergic reactions. The drug has no effect on the already released histamine, but it suppresses the functional activity of mast cells and a number of other cells involved in the formation of the inflammation reaction and prevents the development of allergic reactions.

In connection with the peculiarity of pharmacological action of cromoglycic acid, Lecrolyn gives the most pronounced anti-allergic effect in the prevention of allergic eye diseases. Optimal is the appointment of Lecrolin for the prevention of seasonal allergic diseases (hay fever, springkerakonkonjunctivitis). For this purpose, the drug should be administered approximately two weeks before the predicted contact with the pollen allergen.
