title: Cromolyn sodium in the treatment of children with asthma.
abstract: We have reported our experience with cromolyn sodium in the management of fifteen children with chronic, intractable asthma. The overall improvement in 80% of children is in accordance with some of the studies reported in the literature. The most significant effect of the drug was in either reducing the dose of steroid needed for management or eliminating its requirement by the patient.
