Gastrocrom
Gastrocrom (cromolyn sodium) is an anti-inflammatory medication used to treat mastocytosis, a condition in which the body produces too many mast cells, leading to symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, flushing, and itching. Gastrocrom works by stabilizing mast cells, preventing the release of histamine and other inflammatory substances.
