Oxycrom P (0.4%) 15Ml Nasal Spray

Overview

Oxycrom-P is a 15 ml anti-allergy nasal spray containing sodium cromoglycate, also known as sodium cromoglicate or cromolyn sodium. The visible product carton identifies the concentration as 4% w/v. The supplied catalogue title states 0.4%, so the strength should be checked against the physical carton, bottle and registered product information before this listing is published or supplied to a patient.

Sodium cromoglycate is a locally acting mast cell stabilizer used to prevent and relieve nasal symptoms caused by allergic rhinitis. It is intended for regular intranasal use rather than immediate treatment of infections, common-cold symptoms or acute breathing difficulty. Its benefit may develop gradually, and consistent use during exposure to relevant allergens is generally important.
