Indications & Clinical Uses

  • Sodium cromoglicate acts on mast cells to reduce ocular allergic responses. It is indicated for several eye‑related allergy conditions.
  • Allergic conjunctivitis: reduces itching, redness and watery discharge in the eyes.
  • Seasonal allergic rhinoconjunctivitis ocular symptoms: alleviates eye irritation associated with seasonal pollen exposure.
  • Hay‑fever ocular symptoms: stabilises mast cells to prevent histamine‑mediated eye discomfort.

How It Works

  • Sodium cromoglicate stabilises mast cells by inhibiting calcium‑dependent degranulation, which prevents the release of histamine, leukotrienes, prostaglandins and other inflammatory mediators. This action reduces ocular inflammation and the cascade of allergic symptoms triggered by environmental allergens.

Side Effects

Sodium cromoglicate is generally well tolerated, but ocular administration can be associated with adverse reactions.

Common Side Effects

  • Transient eye irritation or burning sensation
  • Blurred vision shortly after instillation
  • Mild headache
  • Taste disturbance when drainage occurs through the nasolacrimal duct
  • Mild local allergic reaction (redness, swelling)
  • Temporary discomfort with contact lens wear

Serious or Rare Side Effects

  • Severe eye inflammation or keratitis
  • Anaphylactic reaction (rare but possible)
  • Sudden loss of vision
  • Significant ocular edema or ulceration
  • Persistent severe pain in the eye

Precautions & Warnings

  • Before using Murine Hayfever, consider the following safety measures.
  • Pregnancy: safety not established; consult a healthcare professional before use.
  • Breastfeeding: unknown safety profile; weigh potential benefits against risks.
  • Concomitant ocular surgery: postpone treatment until the eye has fully healed.
  • Known hypersensitivity: avoid if you have a documented allergy to sodium cromoglicate or any excipients.
  • Storage: Store at room temperature: keep in the original container, protect from light and moisture.

Avoid Interactions

Sodium cromoglicate may interact with other ocular or systemic agents. Review the following interaction categories.

Major Interactions (Avoid)

  • Concurrent use of ocular antihistamines: may diminish therapeutic effect.
  • Systemic mast‑cell stabilisers: increased risk of ocular irritation.
  • Beta‑blocker eye drops: potential additive ocular side‑effects.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely)

  • Topical corticosteroids: monitor intra‑ocular pressure.
  • Contact lens wear: may increase drug retention; assess comfort.
  • Other ocular lubricants or drops: may dilute the dose and affect efficacy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Murine Hayfever is an ocular formulation containing sodium cromoglicate. It is used to relieve eye‑related symptoms of allergic conjunctivitis and hay‑fever, such as itching, redness, tearing and swelling, by stabilising mast cells in the ocular surface.

Sodium cromoglicate binds to mast cells in the conjunctiva and prevents calcium‑dependent degranulation. This blocks the release of histamine, leukotrienes and other inflammatory mediators, thereby reducing the allergic cascade that causes ocular irritation and inflammation.

The dosage regimen for Murine Hayfever is determined by the prescribing clinician based on the severity of symptoms, patient age and response to therapy. The prescriber will specify the number of drops and frequency appropriate for each individual.

Safety data for sodium cromoglicate in pregnancy and lactation are limited. Women who are pregnant, planning pregnancy or breastfeeding should discuss potential risks and benefits with their healthcare provider before using the product.

To order, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnhindia.com, indicating the required quantity. GNH India works with hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details (including cold‑chain if needed) and import documentation.

Murine Hayfever (sodium cromoglicate) is a mast‑cell stabiliser, whereas many alternatives are antihistamine eye drops that block histamine receptors. Mast‑cell stabilisers act upstream to prevent mediator release, offering a complementary or alternative approach for patients who need longer‑term control or who experience side‑effects from antihistamines.

Murine Hayfever should be stored at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep the product in its original packaging until use, and avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures that could affect its stability.

The product is applied as eye drops. The patient tilts the head back, pulls down the lower eyelid to form a pocket, and instills the prescribed number of drops into the conjunctival sac. The eye should be gently closed for a few seconds to allow distribution.

Serious adverse events, although rare, include severe eye inflammation, keratitis, sudden vision loss and anaphylactic reactions. Patients should seek immediate medical attention if they experience intense pain, rapid vision changes, swelling or signs of a systemic allergic response.

Individuals with a known hypersensitivity to sodium cromoglicate or any excipients in the formulation should avoid the product. It is also contraindicated in eyes with active infection, severe ocular trauma or uncontrolled glaucoma without prior medical advice.
