Description
• Food allergy (with proven presence of an allergen) as monotherapy or in combination with a diet that limits the intake of the allergen; • Non-specific ulcerative colitis (as an adjuvant in combination with glucocorticosteroids (GCS) or sulfasalazine, and also as a drug of choice in patients with hypersensitivity to sulfasalazine).
Instructions
Instructions
The drug is taken orally in the form of capsules or a solution prepared from the contents of the capsules (open the capsule, pour the contents into a glass, pour 1 teaspoon of hot boiled water into the glass, dilute the resulting solution with 2 teaspoons of cold water).
In case of food allergy, 15-20 minutes before meals, adults and children over 14 years old are prescribed an initial dose of 200 mg 4 times a day; children aged 2 to 14 years – 100 mg 4 times a day. The maximum daily dose should not exceed 40 mg/kg.
When a stable therapeutic effect is achieved, the dosage can be reduced to a minimum that ensures the absence of symptoms of the disease.
Patients who for some reason cannot avoid eating food containing allergens should take 1 dose 15 minutes before eating. The optimal dose is selected individually, but within the range
from 100 to 500 mg.
If you accidentally miss a dose of the medicine, you should take it as soon as possible. If this coincides with the next dose, then the missed dose is not taken.

During pregnancy (especially in the first trimester), caution should be exercised when prescribing the drug, as well as when prescribing other drugs.

During pregnancy, the drug should be prescribed only in cases where there is an obvious need for its use. It has not been established whether sodium cromoglycate enters breast milk, but based on its physicochemical properties, this can be considered unlikely.
