Abstract:
Nedocromil sodium is an anti-inflammatory medication for the treatment of mild to moderate asthma. The most common side effect of the nedocromil sodium is an unpleasant and bitter taste. However it is rare, less than 3%, to stop the treatment because of this side effect. Other side effects includes cough, headache, throat irritation and nausea which are reported as mild and transient. A 7-year-old female had a severe headache and dizziness during the treatment of asthma with nedocromil sodium. The symptoms subsided after nedocromil sodium was replaced by budesonide. We experienced a case of a severe headache and dizziness due to nedocomil sodium that lead to withdraw of the nedocromil sodium.
