What are the alternative drugs for anti-histamines in giant papillary conjunctivitis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mast Cell Stabilizer: Cromolyn sodium 4%, or Alamast (pemirolast) are both in this category. It must be used on a regular basis to work well, and not just to treat symptoms. Mast cell stabilizers work to avoid getting the symptoms. Understand that you cannot "cure" giant papillary conjunctivitis, but can sometimes control it. You must also wear your lenses less.
