Question

mrs. Lewis all’s the clinic where you are working. she says when she was in the clinic 2 days ago, the doctor diagnosed her with allergic rhinitis and gave her prescriptions for cromolyn sodium inhalation and clot-trimeton. she claims she has used cromolyn for the past 48 hours without any relief of her nasal symptoms. my nose is running like a faucet with this pollen count so high. I didn’t fill the Chloe-trimeton prescription because I have to work and can’t tolerate the drowsiness. what should you tell her?

Answer 1

Chlor trimeton reduces natural chemical histamine effect in the body.It is an antihistamine.The doctor prescribed chlor trimeton because it reduces sneezing,itching, runny nose, watery eyes which are caused to the person by the allergy.

Cromolyn sodium inhalation helps in preventing inflammation and branchial asthma attacks but it does not give any nasal relief.trimeton gives nasal relief.

Chlor trimeton should be taken to get relief of nasal symptoms such as runny nose.
