The recommended dose of sodium cromoglycate eye drops for adults and children over 5 years of age is 1 or 2 drops in each eye 4 times daily at regular intervals. If possible, start treatment before your usual allergy season.

To avoid contamination of the bottle tip, replace the cap after each use and do not touch the eye, finger, or other surface with the bottle tip. Wash your hands thoroughly before and after using the drops.

To instill the drops:

Tilt your head back and gently pull your lower lid down.
Carefully squeeze out 1 or 2 drops into each eye while looking up toward your forehead.
Close your eyes gently for a few moments.

If you are not sure how to use the drops, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.
