What is cromolyn sodium made from?

What ingredients make up cromolyn sodium?

Cromolyn sodium is the sodium salt of cromolyn, a synthetic pharmaceutical compound. It is manufactured as a purified drug substance (cromolyn sodium), not as an extract from a plant or animal source.

Is it made from animal or plant materials?

Nothing in the available information indicates that cromolyn sodium is derived from animal or plant matter. The active ingredient is a drug chemical produced through pharmaceutical manufacturing.

What’s in cromolyn sodium products besides the drug itself?

Cromolyn sodium products also contain inactive ingredients (excipients) that vary by dosage form (for example, solutions, eye drops, inhaled forms, or nasal products). Those inactive ingredients are formulation-specific and don’t change the fact that the active ingredient is cromolyn sodium (the sodium salt of cromolyn).

Does the “made from” question change for different forms (eye drops vs inhalers)?

The “made from” part usually refers to the active ingredient’s chemical origin. That origin stays the same across forms, while the inactive ingredients and the method of delivery differ by product.
