Frequently asked questions
- What does Intal treat?
- Intal (Cromolyn Sodium) may be used to treat asthma, bronchial spasm, conjunctivitis, food hypersensitivity, mastocytosis, perennial allergic rhinitis, based on NIH RxClass drug-classification data (conditions a drug may treat — not a verbatim copy of the FDA-approved label). This is general reference, not medical advice.
- How much does Intal cost?
- Nobody can tell you what you will pay — your price is set by your insurer's formulary, your deductible and the pharmacy's markup, and none of those are published. What IS published is what the pharmacy paid to acquire it: about $0.58 per ml, per the CMS NADAC survey. Treat that as the floor, not the quote — ask the pharmacist for the cash price as well as your copay, because for cheap generics the cash price often wins.
- Is there a coupon or discount for Intal?
- pharmaranks is an independent ratings site, not a pharmacy — we don't issue coupons or sell Intal. To pay less, ask your prescriber or pharmacist whether a generic equivalent exists, check the manufacturer's copay/savings card and patient-assistance program, and compare a pharmacy discount card against your insurance copay. Prices vary by pharmacy, insurance, and location, so always confirm at the counter. This is general reference, not medical or financial advice.

What people report to the FDA about CROMOLYN SODIUM
The FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) collects reports from patients and clinicians. It holds 3,225 reports naming CROMOLYN SODIUM — the active ingredient in Intal, and the FDA flagged 35% of those reports as serious. The effects reported most often — leaving out reports about overdose, misuse or the condition being treated, which dominate the raw list for common medicines:
- treatment failure1,007 reports
- fatigue183 reports
- nausea169 reports
- headache160 reports
- diarrhoea142 reports
- urticaria137 reports
- dyspnoea114 reports
- malaise112 reports
Read these as a signal, not a rate. A report does not mean CROMOLYN SODIUM caused the effect — anyone can file one, and many describe people taking several medicines for several conditions. Crucially there is no denominator: FAERS does not record how many people took the drug, so these counts cannot be turned into “X% of patients” — a bigger number often just means a more widely used or more talked-about drug. Duplicates exist, and publicity drives reporting. For what is actually established, read the FDA label.
