Cromolyn sodium and nedocromil are prescribed as aerosols in metered dose inhalers (MDIs). Generally, you'll need to take either drug four times a day, but nedocromil has also been effective in a twice-per-day dose.
Cromolyn inhalation has been studied thoroughly in clinical trials in which a group of people taking the drug have side effects documented and compared to another group not taking the medicine. This way, it is possible to see what side effects occur, how often they appear, and how they compare to the group not taking the medicine.
