NASALCROM  (CROMOLYN SODIUM):  This medication is used to treat mastocytosis, a disease that occurs when the body has too many mast cells. These normal body cells release substances (e.g., histamines) that are needed for normal body defense and healing, but when too many mast cells are present, they release too much of these substances. This can lead to symptoms such as diarrhea, stomach/abdominal pain, itching, rash, and flushing. Cromolyn belongs to a class of medications called mast cell stabilizers. It works by preventing mast cells from releasing the substances that can cause these skin and gut problems.   FDA Approval Date: 1997-01-03 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 3  allergies, sinus headaches NONE NasalCrom works fairly well. I started it because all the antihistamines were giving me terrible side effects. NasalCrom is OTC and is supposed to be one of the safest drugs available for allergies. Downside is it has to be repeated every 4 hours. I've read it works best after about 2 weeks, I'm not quite there yet. If I were able to take it once or twice a day I would be pretty happy with it. It's not as strong as other antihistamines I've taken, but I don't get drowsy or moody. F 32 6 days
