INTAL SPINCAP 112'S

This drug works by stabilizing mast cells, which are involved in allergic reactions. It prevents the release of histamine and other inflammatory mediators from mast cells, thereby inhibiting the allergic response. Sodium Cromoglycate directly blocks the calcium channels essential for mast cell degranulation, which is a key process in the release of inflammatory substances.Tetrahydrozoline is a sympathomimetic amine that primarily acts as an alpha-adrenergic agonist. Its mechanism of action involves binding to alpha-adrenergic receptors in the blood vessels of the eyes, causing vasoconstriction. This leads to the constriction of the blood vessels, reducing redness and swelling by decreasing blood flow to the site of administration. This action helps alleviate symptoms associated with eye irritation and allergic reactions.
