Nedocromil Inhalation, oral/nebulization and Tibsovo

• Generic Name: nedocromil
• Dosage Forms: n.a.
• Other Brand Names:

Nedocromil is used to prevent the symptoms of asthma. When it is used regularly, nedocromil lessens the number and severity of asthma attacks by reducing inflammation in the lungs. Nedocromil is also used just before exposure to conditions or substances (for example, allergens, chemicals, cold air, or air pollutants) to prevent bronchospasm (wheezing or difficulty in breathing). Nedocromil will not help an asthma attack or bronchospasm that has already started.

Nedocromil may be used alone or with other asthma medicines, such as bronchodilators (medicines that open up narrowed breathing passages) and steroids (cortisone-like medicines).

Nedocromil works by acting on certain inflammatory cells in the lungs to prevent them from releasing substances that cause asthma symptoms and bronchospasm.

Nedocromil was available only with your doctor's prescription.

Inhalation products containing nedocromil were withdrawn from the U.S. market by King Pharmaceuticals on April 30, 2008.

Tibsovo (ivosidenib) targets a specific gene mutation called IDH1, which can affect your bone marrow. IDH1 mutation prevents young blood cells from developing into healthy adult blood cells, which can result in symptoms of acute myeloid leukemia.

Tibsovo is used to treat acute myeloid leukemia (AML).

Tibsovo is used to treat AML in adults with an IDH1 mutation. Your doctor will test you for this gene. Ivosidenib is used when other treatments did not work or have stopped working.

Tibsovo is also used in adults 75 years and older who have newly-diagnosed AML and cannot use certain chemotherapy treatments because of other health problems.
