class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Lecrolyn sine is and what it is used for<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Carolyn sine contains the active substance is sodium cromoglycate.\u00a0It belongs to a group of medicines called antiallergics.\u00a0Carolyn sine is used to treat eye symptoms due to\u00a0allergies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It stops the\u00a0release of\u00a0one of the natural substances, such as\u00a0histamine, in the eyes that can lead to an\u00a0allergic reaction.\u00a0Signs of an\u00a0allergic reaction\u00a0include itchy, runny, red, or inflamed eyes and swollen eyelids.\u00a0Usually, both eyes are affected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These symptoms usually occur in the spring or summer when pollen from grass or trees comes in contact with the eyes of people who are sensitive to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You must talk to a doctor if the symptoms do not get better, or if they get worse after two days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sodium cromoglycate contained in Lecrolyn sine may also be approved for the treatment of other conditions not mentioned in this product information.\u00a0Ask your doctor, pharmacist, or other healthcare professional if you have any further questions, and always follow their instructions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What you need to know before using Lecrolyn sine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do not use Lecrolyn sine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>if you are allergic to sodium cromoglycate or any of the other ingredients of Lecrolyn sine (listed in section 6).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Warnings and cautions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Talk to your doctor before using Lecrolyn sine if you only have symptoms in one eye, as allergic reactions usually irritate both eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other medicines and Lecrolyn sine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When using other\u00a0eye drops\u00a0at the same time, there should be at least 15 minutes between the use of different drops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pregnancy and breastfeeding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>No adverse effects on the fetus have been demonstrated.&nbsp;Lecrolyn sine can be used during pregnancy and lactation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Driving and using machines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Like other\u00a0eye drops, Lecrolyn sine can cause short-term blurred vision.\u00a0If this happens, do not drive or use machines until your vision is completely restored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You are responsible for assessing whether you are fit to drive a motor vehicle or perform work that requires sharpened attention.\u00a0One of the factors that can affect your ability in these respects is the use of drugs due to their effects and\/or\u00a0side effects.\u00a0Descriptions of these effects and\u00a0side effects\u00a0can be found in other sections.\u00a0Read all the information in this leaflet for guidance.\u00a0If you are not sure, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Contact lenses<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Lecrolyn sine contains no\u00a0preservative.\u00a0It can therefore be used with contact lenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to use Lecrolyn

recommended\u00a0dose\u00a0for adults and children is\u00a0<strong>1-2 drops in each eye twice a day<\/strong>.\u00a0If the\u00a0intensity of the\u00a0symptoms\u00a0means that treatment is required more often, the user should not exceed 4 times daily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Before using the eye drops:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Wash your hands before opening the
