"As with other comments - I took this from age 8 until last year, aged 59. No problems, just trouble-free allergy and asthma control throughout. Sanofi have now discontinued cromoglycate manufacture and supply worldwide. I am a retired pharmacist and have tried all the various options, steroids, LABAs, montelukast, but my shortness of breath is now making my life a misery. PLEASE will someone restart cromoglycate manufacture and market in the UK so I can get my life back!"

"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."

"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 cells, 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 attacks. It seems Intal has been taken off the market, and I have a poor quality of life because of it."

"I use Chromolyn Sodium in my nebulizer, and it is a LIFE SAVER. I wish I could try the Intal inhaler since it's not convenient to use a nebulizer every day and when I travel. But for now, I will continue to use Chromolyn Sodium. I can't live without it."

"I have taken Intal for 25 years with no negative side effects. I have severe respiratory distress from exposure to diesel fuel fumes and many other pollutants. My Intal Inhaler stops the reaction within a matter of minutes. Every other product I have used caused severe side effects."

"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 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 get through colds very quickly."
