What is Ivycrom Eye Drops?
Ivycrom Eye Drops are a sterile ophthalmic solution used to manage and prevent allergic eye conditions. The active ingredient, Sodium Cromoglicate (2% w/v), is a mast cell stabilizer. It works by blocking the release of natural chemicals like histamine that cause allergic reactions in the eyes.
In Nigeria, where dust, pollen, and the harsh Harmattan season can cause severe eye irritation, Ivycrom is frequently used to treat allergic conjunctivitis (itchy, red, or watery eyes). Unlike immediate-relief drops, Ivycrom is a preventative treatment and works best when used regularly before symptoms peak.
