ALLERCROM DROPS 5ML belongs to the class of ‘anti-inflammatory/anti-allergy drugs’, primarily used to treat signs and symptoms of allergic conjunctivitis and vernal kerato-conjunctivitis (swelling (inflammation) of the outer lining of the eyes). It is used to relieve itching, burning, redness, and watering in the eyes caused by allergic conjunctivitis. Allergic conjunctivitis is termed as an inflammation of the conjunctiva caused by an allergic reaction. Conjunctiva is the clear tissue covering the white part of the eye and the inside of the eyelids.

ALLERCROM DROPS 5ML contains Cromoglicic acid, also referred to as cromolyn, cromoglycate, or cromoglicate. It is a mast cell stabilizer and works by blocking the release of histamine from mast cells. Histamines are chemical messengers that are released due to an allergic response in the body. These chemicals are known to cause allergies like swelling, red, teary, and itchy eyes.

Your doctor will advise on how often you take ALLERCROM DROPS 5ML based on your medical condition. Some common side effects of ALLERCROM DROPS 5ML include a burning/stinging sensation of the eye, temporary blurry vision, and eye irritation. These side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. Although not all of these side effects may occur, they may need medical attention if they do occur.

It is of three types, namely: allergic, infective, and acute/chronic conjunctivitis. Allergens include dust, smoke, dander, mold, or pollen. Eye allergy symptoms include itching, burning sensation, watery eyes, red/pink eyes, scaling around the eyes, and swollen or puffy eyelids. It can be passed from one infected person to another; hence precaution like wearing sunglasses or distancing is required in public places.
