About Chromotop 2mg Inhaler

Chromotop 2mg Inhaler belongs to a class of medicines called anti-allergic agents used to prevent asthma symptoms. Asthma is a chronic (long-term) respiratory condition in which airways narrow, swell, and produce extra mucus, leading to difficulty in breathing.

Chromotop 2mg Inhaler contains Sodium cromoglycate that works by stabilising mast cells (immune cells) and prevents the release of histamine, a substance responsible for causing inflammation. Thus, it reduces inflammation in the lungs and makes it easier to breathe and helps to prevent asthma attacks.
