Question

What drug decreases nasal secretions and prevents the release of histamine.

Answer 1

This medication works by reducing the histamines the body produces. Cromolyn sodium is widely available over the counter in pharmacies or online and comes as a nasal solution.

Answer 2

Cromolyn

Step-by-step explanation:

Cromolyn* stabilizes mast cell membranes and thereby prevents degranulation and release of histamine. It is found in Crolom (eye drops) and Nasalcrom (nasal spray). Montelukast (Singulair) is used for seasonal allergic rhinitis in adults and children over 2 years old. It is a leukotriene receptor antagonist.
