Intal Inhl

Intal Inhl Uses

This medication is used to prevent symptoms (wheezing and shortness of breath) caused by asthma. It is generally used with other medications in patients who have symptoms at least twice weekly (mild persistent asthma). It is also used to prevent wheezing and shortness of breath caused by exercise, cold/dry/polluted air, or allergens such as pollen. Controlling breathing problems may decrease time lost from work or school. This medication may possibly help to decrease the use of other asthma drugs (e.g., corticosteroids).

Cromolyn belongs to a class of medications called mast cell stabilizers. It works by preventing release of certain natural chemicals (histamines) that may cause swelling of the airways and breathing problems.

This medication must be used regularly to prevent the wheezing and shortness of breath caused by asthma.

This medication does not work immediately. Therefore, it is not used to relieve an acute asthma attack. If an asthma attack occurs, use your quick-relief inhaler/medication as prescribed.
