How does the ingredient of the medicine work?

The active ingredient protects against an allergic reaction of the mucous membranes by stabilizing the outer shell of certain cells, so-called mast cells. If foreign substances such as pollen or animal dander enter the body and attach themselves to the envelope of a mast cell, it opens and a large number of the body's own messenger substances are released. These messenger substances activate the body's own defense mechanisms and as a result the affected mucous membranes become inflamed. Cromoglicic acid prevents this leakage.
However, the effect can only be used preventively; an acute attack cannot be treated with the substance.
