Used primarily in the management of asthma and allergic conditions, this compound acts as a mast cell stabilizer, preventing the release of inflammatory mediators like histamine. It is commonly administered via inhalation to prevent bronchoconstriction in allergic asthma, especially in pediatric patients. Also found in ophthalmic formulations to relieve symptoms of allergic conjunctivitis, reducing itching and redness. Its prophylactic use helps control seasonal allergies when applied before allergen exposure. Due to limited systemic absorption, it offers a favorable safety profile for long-term management of chronic allergic diseases.
