Intal Inhaler CFC Free (Sodium Cromoglycate) from Maple Leaf Medications.


What is Intal Inhaler? 

Intal Inhaler, with the generic name sodium cromoglycate, is an oral inhalation indicated as prophylaxis in managing patients with bronchial asthma. This type of asthma could be caused by allergies, exercise, cold air, or other irritants. It prevents symptoms like wheezing, coughing, and shortness of breath. By controlling these symptoms, the time lost for school or work could be decreased, and patients could go back to their everyday activities. 

This is available in Intal Inhaler 5 mg pressurized inhalation. 

How does Intal Inhaler work? 

This mast cell stabilizer inhibits the degranulation of mast cells which prevents the release of histamine and SRS-A, which is a slow-reacting substance of anaphylaxis. This medication also reduces the release of leukotrienes that take part in inflammation. This type of drug does not work right away but could prevent asthma symptoms if used regularly.
