Intal Information
Generic Intal Name: E: CROMOLYN (KROE-moe-lin)
Common Intal Uses: This medicine is a mast cell stabilizer
used to prevent asthma attacks. It may also be used
to treat other conditions as determined by your
doctor.
How to use Intal: Follow the directions for
using this medicine provided by your doctor. THIS
MEDICINE MAY COME with an instruction leaflet. Ask
your doctor, nurse, or pharmacist any questions that
you may have before using this medicine. BEFORE
USING THIS MEDICINE: be sure that the canister is
properly inserted into the inhaler unit and SHAKE
WELL. Exhale slowly. UNLESS YOUR DOCTOR HAS TOLD YOU
OTHERWISE, position the mouthpiece between your lips
and try to rest your tongue flat. Your doctor may
have told you to hold the inhaler 1 or 2 inches (2
or 3 centimeters) away from the open mouth or may
have instructed you to use a special spacing device.
AS YOU START TO TAKE A SLOW, DEEP BREATH, PRESS THE
CANISTER AND THE MOUTHPIECE TOGETHER at exactly the
same time to administer a dose of this medicine.
Continue inhaling slowly and deeply and hold your
breath for as long as comfortable, then exhale
slowly through pursed lips or through your nose. If
more than 1 inhalation is to be used, wait a few
minutes and repeat the above process. RINSE YOUR
MOUTH OR GARGLE with water after using this medicine
to prevent mouth sores or bad taste. KEEP THE SPRAY
away from your eyes. KEEP TRACK OF THE NUMBER OF
SPRAYS YOU USE and subtract this number from the
number of doses in the container. This will help you
know when the container is becoming empty. STORE
THIS MEDICINE at room temperature, away from heat
and light. IF YOU MISS A DOSE OF THIS MEDICINE, use
it as soon as possible, then go back to your regular
dosing schedule.
Intal
Cautions: THIS MEDICINE WILL NOT STOP AN ASTHMA

weeks may pass before the full benefit is obtained.
Continue to use it as directed during this time. DO
NOT EXCEED THE RECOMMENDED DOSE without checking
with your doctor. DO NOT STOP USING THIS MEDICINE
without first checking with your doctor. BEFORE YOU
HAVE ANY MEDICAL OR DENTAL TREATMENTS, EMERGENCY
CARE, OR SURGERY, tell the doctor or dentist that
you are using this medicine. IF YOU ARE HAVING
DIFFICULTY USING THIS MEDICINE or are having side
effects like mouth sores or bad taste, ask your
doctor or pharmacist about using a spacing device.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN TAKING ANY NEW MEDICINE, either
prescription or over-the-counter, check with your
doctor or pharmacist. FOR WOMEN: IT IS UNKNOWN IF
