1.WHAT THIS MEDICINE IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
This medicine contains sodium cromoglicate which belongs to a group of
medicines called anti-allergics.
It works by stopping the release of the natural substances in your
eyes that can
lead to an allergic reaction. Signs of an allergic reaction include
itchy, watery, red
or inflamed eyes and puffy eyelids.
These symptoms occur usually in the late spring or early summer when
pollen
from grasses or trees comes into contact with the eyes of people who
are
sensitive to them. This condition is sometimes called ‘hayfever
eyes’ or by its
medical term: seasonal allergic conjunctivitis.
2.WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE YOU USE THIS MEDICINE

the other
ingredients of this medicine (listed in Section 6). Signs of an
allergic reaction
include: a rash, swallowing or breathing problems, swelling of your
lips, face,
throat, tongue and worsening of redness, itching or swelling of the
eye
or eyelid.
