Gastrocrom Information:
What is Gastrocrom?
Gastrocrom is an oral medication that contains cromolyn sodium which is a mast cell stabilizer. Mastocytosis is a disorder that involves the overproduction of mast cells, a type of cells produced by the body’s immune system that release histamine. Histamine causes diarrhea and abdominal pain and other gastrointestinal symptoms when released in the gut, and it causes other symptoms, such as itching, inflammation, the release of mucous and other symptoms that are similar to those of an allergic reaction. Gastrocrom works by inhibiting the release of histamine from mast cells.
How do I take Gastrocrom?
The adult dosage for Gastrocrom is 8 ampules per day. The ampules should be broken open and mixed with an 8-oz glass of water. Stir the contents well before consuming. These ampules should be consumed at regular intervals throughout the day, and 2 should be taken at once. The first dose of 2 ampules should be taken a half hour prior to the first meal of the day, and the next 2 doses should be consumed a half hour prior to the second and third meals of the day. The last dose of 2 ampules should be consumed a half hour before bedtime. Once a control of symptoms is obtained, this dosage may be reduced to a lower maintenance dose.
Before taking Gastrocrom, tell your doctor if:
- You are pregnant or breastfeeding
- You have kidney or liver disease
- You are allergic to any of the ingredients in Gastrocrom
- You are taking any other prescription or nonprescription drugs
What are the possible side effects of taking Gastrocrom?
Transient side effects have been reported with Gastrocrom, and it is uncertain whether these are drug side effects are symptoms of the disorder itself. These include diarrhea, indigestion, nausea, abdominal pain and headache. If any of these side effects are severe, or if your condition doesn’t improve with this medication, tell your doctor as soon as possible. If you experience a rash or allergic reaction, tell a medical professional immediately.
What if I forget to take a dose of Gastrocrom?
If you miss a dose of Gastrocrom, take it as soon as you remember. If it’s almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue on your normal routine. Do not take double doses to try to compensate for missed ones.
How do I store Gastrocrom?
Store Gastrocrom ampules at a temperature between 59 and 86 degrees Fahrenheit. Protect the medication from light and keep it out of reach of children and pets. Do not open the ampules until you are ready to take the medication. If the solution appears cloudy or has particles, dispose of the medication.
