Nedocromil, sold under the brand name Alocil among others, is a medication used to treat allergic conjunctivitis.[1] It is used as an eye drop.[2]

Common side effects include headache, irritated eyes, and stuffy nose.[1] There is no evidence of harm with use in pregnancy.[3] It is a mast cell stabilizer, which decreases the release of histamine.[2]

Nedocromil was approved for medical use in the United States in 1999.[1] In the United States it costs about 230 USD for a 5 ml bottle.[4]
