DEF

Antiasthmatique de type chromone utilisé sous forme de sel de sodium (chromoglicate de sodium) en poudre pour inhalation (aérosol), au moyen d'un appareil permettant la synchronisation avec l'inspiration.

OBS

Cette bichromone exerce essentiellement une action préventive sur les asthmes d'origine allergique. Elle inhibe la dégranulation des mastocytes et la libération de médiateurs bronchoconstricteurs, pro-inflammatoires et chimiotactiques (histamine, prostaglandines, leucotriène). Elle ne semble pas empêcher le conflit antigène-anticorps; elle ne possède aucune action antiinflammatoire ou antihistaminique ou bronchodilatatrice.
