Intal

Uses
Intal (Sodium Cromoglycate) is an inhalable medication prescribed to treat and prevent allergies, asthma attacks and chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD). It operates by preventing the actions of certain enzymes in the body that cause swelling, pain, and irritation in the body. This can prevent a stuffy nose, sneezing, or itchiness of the eyes. Your doctor may also prescribe this medication for the treatment of other unlisted conditions.

Dosage and Administration
Intal (Sodium Cromoglycate) is administered using the inhaler provided. Follow the instruction leaflet provided or ask your doctor if you are not fully sure of how to properly apply it. It is necessary to visit your doctor for a medical examination prior to using this product so that the correct and proper dosage can be prescribed. Only take the amount prescribed to you, and never exceed the dosage that you were told to take.

Side effects
Some patients using Intal (Sodium Cromoglycate) have reported experiencing side effects such as:

• Headaches
• Temporary breathing difficulties
• Coughing or sore throat
• Hoarseness

Immediately contact your doctor if you experience any intense or worrying symptoms such as a severe headache, flu symptoms, severe cough, choking sensations, or severe inflammation. These conditions may require reduced dosages, application frequency, or emergency medical attention in serious cases to prevent further complications from occurring.

Precautions
Although it is considered to be rare, there have been cases of patients being treated for asthma with salmeterol (a type of medication similar to this one) suffering from serious breathing problems. There is a very slight risk of this occurring with this medication. Discuss the risks with your doctor before you begin using this medication.

Seek immediate emergency medical attention if you suffer an allergic reaction. Symptoms to watch for, which may be indicative of a reaction, include skin rashes, hives, swelling of the face or limbs, trouble breathing, and trouble swallowing.

Always use Intal (Sodium Cromoglycate) as you have been prescribed by your doctor. Never self-medicate or change your dosage without first consulting your doctor. The correct dosage can vary depending on your health, medical history, and the severity of the condition being treated.
