<br />
==Pharmacology==<br />
[[Pemirolast]] functions as a [[mast cell stabilizer]], inhibiting the release of [[histamine]] and other [[inflammatory mediators]] from mast cells. It does this by blocking the [[calcium channel]] essential for mast cell degranulation, preventing the release of these inflammatory mediators and thereby reducing the symptoms of allergic reactions.<br />
<br />
==Clinical Use==<br />
[[Pemirolast]] is used in the treatment of [[allergic conjunctivitis]], a type of eye inflammation caused by allergies. It is also used in the management of [[asthma]], particularly in cases where the condition is triggered by allergens. <br />
<br />
==Side Effects==<br />
Common side effects of [[Pemirolast]] include eye irritation, headache, and a bitter taste in the mouth. Rare but serious side effects can include severe allergic reactions.<br />
<br />
==Interactions==<br />
[[Pemirolast]] may interact with other drugs, particularly those that also affect the immune system. It is important to inform healthcare providers of all medications being taken to avoid potential interactions.<br />
