We evaluated the potential benefit of (oral cromolyn sodium) as a Gastrocrom' corticosteroid-sparing agent in the treatment of corticosteroid-dependent idiopathic anaph laxis (CSD-IA). Gastrocrom was ah inistered prospectively evaluated case serie?to z patients with CSD-IA. These patients had been followed long-term (average duration 5 years) by our allergy service and each had a well established minimum maintenance dose of prednisone (range from 60 mg od to 10 mg god) below which his or her 8 isease activity could not be controlled. These patients were treated with a standard dose of Gastrocrom 200 mg qid for at least 4 weeks and were maintained on their prior regimen of antihistamines and/or oral adrenergic agents while attempting a reduction-in their corticosteroid dose. After 3-6 therapy 1 patient months of Gastrocrom discontinued the use of prednisone, 2 patients tolerated a greater than 50% reduction in prednisone dosage, 1 patient achieved a small reductiqn in prednisone WIzr, and thytients failed to. respond. apparent efficacy of Gastrocroo?n as a corticosteroid-sparing ;I:;: in 3 out of 6 ,patients studied we suggest a trial of Gastrocrom for pkients with idio athic anaphylaxis who have a well extab f ished requirement for chronic prednisone therapy to control disease activity.
