Icrom Eye Drop 2% contains Sodium Cromoglicate, a mast cell stabilizer used to prevent and manage allergic eye conditions. It is primarily indicated for allergic conjunctivitis, providing relief from itching, redness, watering, and irritation. Unlike traditional antihistamines, Sodium Cromoglicate works by preventing the release of histamine and other inflammatory mediators from mast cells, thereby addressing the root cause of allergic eye symptoms.
