What is Gastrocrom?

Gastrocrom (generic name, cromolyn sodium) is an FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) approved medication manufactured by Micro Labs USA Inc. Gastrocrom is used to treat mastocytosis, a disease that occurs when the body has too many mast cells. Mast cells normally release histamine for normal body defense and healing, but when too many mast cells are present, they release too much histamine. This can cause diarrhea, abdominal pain, itching, rash, and flushing. Cromolyn is classed as a mast cell stabilizer and works by preventing mast cells from releasing histamines that can cause these problems.

What doses of Gastrocrom are available?

Gastrocrom is available as an oral solution, concentrate dosage form, in the following doses: 20mg in 1mL.

Take Gastrocrom 4 times per day, at regular intervals, 30 minutes before each meal, and at bedtime. Break open the Gastrocrom ampule and squeeze the liquid into a glass of water. Stir this mixture and drink all of it right away. Do not take the ampules out of their foil pouch until right before use. If you miss a dose take the missed dose as soon as you remember. Skip the missed dose if it is almost time for your next dose. Do not take extra medicine to make up for the missed dose.

Do not use this form of cromolyn for inhalation using a nebulizer. It is for oral use only. It does not work to treat breathing problems, nasal/seasonal, or food allergies. Store at room temperature away from moisture, heat, and light.

Please read the full drug information and always speak with a healthcare professional for medical advice about any changes to your dose so they can monitor and evaluate your condition.
