Le cromoglycate est utilisé dans la prévention des crises d'asthme lorsqu'un mécanisme allergique est impliqué. Il peut aussi s'avérer utile dans la rhinite allergique. Il est plus particulièrement efficace chez les enfants. C'est un moyen préventif; il ne possède pas d'efficacité durant une crise, vu qu'il n'est pas broncho-dilatateur. 2, record 2, French, - cromoglicate
