Treatment of vasomotor rhinitis with intranasal disodium cromoglycate (SCG). Results from a double-blind cross-over study.
The effect of SCG powder (Lomudalr, Intalr) intranasally in vasomotor rhinitis has been studied on 49 adult volunteers in a double-blind cross-over study during 13 weeks in January--April 1973. The dose of SCG was 40 mg/day. Although a substantial number of results were obtained, no significant difference between the effects of SCG and placebo treatment, on variables measured, was detected. However, some patients experienced relief with, and preferred, the treatment with SCG. The results from this investigation are discussed in comparison with those from other studies including patients with vasomotor rhinitis.
