Mast cell stabilizers are an effective and safe treatment modality for allergic conjunctivitis. They are useful in patients who have perennial allergic conjunctivitis and as a prophylaxis fc>r seasonal allergic conjunctivitis. Mast cell stabilizers are effective only when used before the onset of allergic symptoms, because most drugs in this class have a typical therapeutic effect that occurs in 7 days to 14 days. Because there is a delay in noticeable clinical improvement with most mast cell stabilizers, concurrent therapy with other agents may be necessary for immediate relief. Nedocromil is an exception in this category, because it provides a more rapid relief of symptoms, usually within 15 to 30 minutes. [Pg.560]

Mast cell stabilizers include cromolyn sodium 4% (Opticrom, Crolom) and lodoxamide tromethamine 0.1% (Alomide), which are currently approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for VKC but offer off-label relief for allergic conjunctivitis. Other mast cell stabilizers include pemirolast (Alamast) and nedocromil sodium 2% (Alocril), with both approved for treatment of itching in allergic conjunctivitis.
