The drug that the health care provider would prescribe is Nedocromil or Cromolyn.
Asthma is a chronic lung disease that inflames and narrows the airways. It causes recurring periods of wheezing, chest tightness, shortness of breath, and coughing. Nedocromil is an anti-inflammatory agent and can be administered directly to the bronchial mucosa. It is used to prevent the symptoms of asthma.
