Abstract:
The efficacy of orally administered nedocromil sodium, a mast-cell stabilizer, was assessed in the treatment of adults with atopic eczema plus food allergy.

No significant differences were found between the two treatments on clinical assessment, or by measurement of total and specific IgE levels.
