Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: Cromolyn does not contain soy or peanut products.
Rationale 2: Ipratropium contains a substance derived from soya lecithin, so it is contraindicated in the presence of soy allergies.
Rationale 3: Triamcinolone does not contain soy or peanut products.
Rationale 4: Zafirlukast does not contain soy or peanut products.
Global Rationale: Ipratropium is contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity to soya lecithin or related food products such as soybean and peanut. Soya lecithin is used as a propellant in the inhaler. Cromolyn, triamcinolone, and zafirlukast do not contain soy or peanut products.
