Intal Inhaler

The Intal inhaler is a medicinal inhaler that contains the main active ingredient, Sodium Cromoglicate, it is an active synthetic compound that, which, without possessing bronchodilator activity, has the ability to inhibit antigen-induced bronchospasm. Currently, its main use is as a prophylactic agent in the treatment of mild to moderate asthma.

The Sodium Cromoglicate in the intal nebulizer solution (the inhaler) acts on the surface of mast cells inhibiting their degranulation. This, in turn, prevents the release of histamine and the slow reaction of the substance anaphylaxis (SRS-A), both mediators of type 1 allergic reactions. Sodium Cromoglicate may also reduce the release of inflammatory leukotrienes. cromolyn has been postulated to produce these effects by inhibiting calcium influx, but its exact mechanism of action is unclear. Sodium Cromoglicate does not interfere with the binding of IgE to mast cells or with the binding of the antigen to IgE. Because Sodium Cromoglicate is not a bronchodilator, antihistamine, or vasoconstrictor, its beneficial effects in the treatment of asthma are largely prophylactic. Sodium Cromoglicate may reduce hyperreactivity of the bronchi, inhibition of asthmatic responses to antigenic stimulation (eg, cold air, allergens, environmental pollutants) or exercise. Sodium Cromoglicate has also been administered orally to treat inflammatory bowel disease.

The Intal asthma inhaler is used as a preventive treatment of bronchial asthma (extrinsic or intrinsic) in children and adults, induced by exercise, climatic changes such as humidity and cold air, chemical and other irritants, stress, etc. Avoid immediate and late responses in bronchial asthma, even in the presence of the antigen.

Treatment with the Intal inhaler is preventive, so it is important to maintain a regular dose. The patient should be informed that because multiple doses may be necessary to verify the benefit, relief may not be immediately apparent as it may take a few weeks to develop. The recommended dose is 10 mg Sodium Cromoglicate (two inhalations with the 5 mg aerosol) four times a day. The suggested dose regimen is two inhalations at bedtime, and two inhalations upon waking in the morning (every 12 hours). The rest of the scheme can be administered at regular intervals every 3 to 6 hours throughout the day. The dose can be increased to two inhalations 6 to 8 times a day, in the most severe cases, or during periods of high exposure to antigens. When the asthmatic condition stabilizes, it is sometimes possible to reduce the dose, although this must be carefully evaluated in each patient, to ensure adequate control of asthma. The addition of Sodium Cromoglicate in patients who are currently being treated with oral or inhaled steroids may allow a reduction or discontinuation of the steroid dose. For protection against exercise-induced bronchospasm or other known triggering factors, Intal should be used 15-30 minutes before exposure to the trigger factor. It is essential to instruct the patient on how to correctly use the inhaler.
