nedocromilnatrium

Nedocromil sodium is a medication used to prevent asthma attacks. It belongs to a class of drugs known as mast cell stabilizers. Nedocromil sodium works by preventing the release of inflammatory substances from mast cells in the airways, which are thought to play a role in asthma. It is not a bronchodilator and therefore does not provide immediate relief from an asthma attack. It is typically administered via an inhaler and should be used regularly as prescribed by a healthcare professional to achieve its full effect. The onset of action for nedocromil sodium can be several weeks. It is generally used as a long-term control medication for mild to moderate persistent asthma, often in conjunction with other asthma treatments. Side effects are usually mild and can include coughing, throat irritation, or a runny nose. It is important to discuss any concerns or potential side effects with a doctor. Nedocromil sodium is not recommended for the acute treatment of bronchospasm.
