Reviews for Cromolyn

Review by Macho:

Intal Inhaler (cromolyn) for Asthma, Maintenance: The Intal inhaler has worked the best for me. If using other inhalers take them first and then take Intal. Intal, I believe covers the mast cels, not allowing them to release histamine. It certainly is the best product of the inhalers. Those who have pure asthma must take Intal on a schedule which will stop or cut down on their asthma attacka. It seems Intal has been taken off the market and I have a poor quality of life because of it.

Intal Inhaler (cromolyn) for Asthma, Maintenance: I used Intal for 25 years to control my asthma and it worked wonderfully. I never had problems. Since it has been discontinued, I am on Symbicort and Singulair and my health is unstable. I seem to suffer from every side effect of Symbicort. I wish someone would start making Intal again.

Intal Inhaler (cromolyn) for Asthma, Maintenance: Intal is currently available as a CFC-free inhaler from Sanofi Aventis. I have taken it for 40 years. It has no side effects and helps you to get through colds very quickly.

Intal Inhaler (cromolyn) for Asthma, Maintenance: Intal is the one drug that brought my asthma under control, in 1974, when I was 18 years old. It pains me to know that I now must buy it from sources outside of North America.

Intal (cromolyn) for Asthma, Maintenance: I used Intal for some time, about a year. It didn't really help me

Intal (cromolyn) for Asthma, Maintenance: I used Intal for 20 years and I believe it stabilized my asthma attacks (I am allergic to dogs). Recently I had to use when on trip to Europe and when I get back to Canada I realized that they discontinued the capsules whatsoever. I will be trying nebulizer.
