What is Ivycrom Eye Drops?
Ivycrom Eye Drops are a sterile ophthalmic solution formulated to manage and prevent allergic eye conditions. The active ingredient, Sodium Cromoglicate (2% w/v), is a mast cell stabilizer. It works by preventing the release of natural substances like histamine in the eyes that trigger allergic reactions.
Unlike antihistamines which provide immediate but temporary relief, Ivycrom is most effective when used regularly to prevent symptoms before they start. It is widely used in Nigeria for treating allergic conjunctivitis.
