I believe it is an anti- inflammatory. For both Intal and Nasalcrom, the patient info stresses they are not of use during acute attacks, but must be taken regularly for several weeks in order to act as a preventive for asthma and allergy attacks. There may be a chromium atom somewhere in the cromolyn molecule, I haven't checked. But the chromium we get in vitamin pills doesn't work the same, if that's what you were hoping :@< Andrea Frankel, [log in to unmask] (note new address!)
