Intal is not a steroid.
Unfortunately all the information in this site about Intal is separated into several strings that must each be read separately. I am hoping website staff can read this & respond - I looked for a link to "contact us" but didn't see one.

well then my dr was wrong because she said it is a steroid, doesn't matter much now since they quit making it.

My only suggestion is to maybe get a second opinion. Even the smartest & most wonderful doctors have been known to make mistakes. Everything I have ever been told indicates that Intal, which is the brand name for the active ingredient, chromolyn sodium, is not a steroid. I am not a doctor, & I would just hate for you to miss out on anything that might be helpful to you - so ask your doctor or another doctor or your pharmacist.
Also, while Intal is no longer available, chromolyn sodium is still available as ampules to use with a nebulizer. From my reading on this site, it also seems that Intal is still available, paying out of pocket, from a website called panthermeds.com - which the writers have used & been happy with.
I wish you well,
Donna
