Mastzellstabilisator, or mast cell stabilizer, is a class of medications used to prevent allergic reactions by inhibiting the degranulation of mast cells. The exact mechanism is not fully understood, but these agents are believed to stabilize mast cell membranes and block calcium-dependent release of mediators such as histamine, leukotrienes, and prostaglandins.
Common agents include cromolyn sodium and nedocromil. They come in several forms for different indications: intranasal
Compared with modern anti-inflammatory therapies such as inhaled corticosteroids, mast cell stabilizers are generally less potent
Side effects are usually mild and localized, including throat irritation, coughing, nasal stinging, or eye irritation.
