One of the popular and available funds from the common cold is Naphthyzinum, because among other nasal preparations it stands out for its optimal cost. It effectively relieves swelling and is able to stop bleeding. By reducing blood flow to the venous vessels, Naphthyzin makes breathing easier. At the same time, the use of drops for treatment requires specialist advice, since the drug has a number of contraindications.

Naphthyzinum is prescribed for both adults (0.1% solution) and children (0.05% solution). However, when using it, it must be remembered that addiction to the drug occurs after 5-7 days of use, so it is necessary to take breaks in treatment.

The action of the drug

The advantage of Naphthyzine as a drug, of course, is its speed. It is worth dripping a few drops into both nostrils - and in a couple of minutes it becomes much easier to breathe. This is due to the fact that the components that make up the drug have an instant vasoconstrictor effect.

Making breathing easier Naphthyzinum eliminates nasal congestion for up to 12 hours, and therefore is an indispensable assistant in allergic rhinitis. However, if you use these drops for longer than the recommended period, they cease to work and are addictive. In the end, it begins to seem to a person that without Naphthyzinum he cannot live and breathe normally.

You can get rid of this dependence by gradually reducing the dose of use per day, as a result of abandoning these drops altogether. It will also be possible to defeat addiction if Naphthyzine is replaced with other vasoconstrictor nasal drops. Changing the drug will allow you to overcome nasal congestion and get rid of the need to use Naphthyzin.

Release form

Naphthyzine is a colorless transparent, rarely slightly colored liquid. Naphthyzinum is produced for the nose in the form of drops in vials of 10 or 15 ml. This form of release is traditional for Naphthyzin. When applied in case of swelling of the vocal cords, Naphthyzin is used in the form of a spray, presented in various dosages(0.05% and 0.1%) and volumes (10 ml and 15 ml).

Application of the drug

First of all, you need to know how and why Naphthyzin nasal drops are used. Using them without following the instructions can be unsafe. Naphthyzinum is usually prescribed for the following diseases:

• acute rhinitis;
• sinusitis;
• tracheitis;
• laryngitis;
• sinusitis;
• acute nasopharyngitis;
• conjunctivitis.

Naphthyzin is also used for various diagnostic procedures.

Adults should use these drops 2-3 times a day, 1-2 drops in each nasal passage, children over one year old – also 1-2 drops, but a solution of 0.05% (0.025%). Naphthyzine nasal drops can be used to stop nosebleeds by soaking a cotton swab in a 0.05% solution. With a runny nose, Naphthyzinum can be used every 6-8 hours, but even if absolutely necessary, it is not recommended to exceed the dose.

Treatment of conjunctivitis is carried out by introducing 1-2 drops of a 0.05% solution into each conjunctival sac up to 3 times a day. For bleeding, swabs soaked in 0.05% Naphthyzinum are used. With swelling of the vocal cords, drops are administered in the form of a spray of 1-2 ml of solution. For diagnostic purposes, 3-4 drops of this drug are instilled into each nasal passage or a swab dipped in a 0.05% aqueous solution is used.

Application for sinusitis

Sinusitis is one of the most unpleasant diseases of the nasal cavity, since its treatment requires special approach. Vasoconstrictive nasal drops Naphthyzine are among the most common drugs for the treatment this disease. However, you should know that, while facilitating the patient's breathing for a while, this drug does not fight bacteria.

It should be borne in mind that the effect of Naphthyzinum decreases after a week of constant use, which is due to the occurrence of addiction. This reason is an explanation of why Naphthyzinum should be used in the treatment of sinusitis only when absolutely necessary, since these drops are not effective enough in the treatment of chronic inflammatory process and are more suitable for relief of the condition during acute rhinitis.

In the treatment of sinusitis, the use of Naphthyzin will be justified in combination with drugs that directly combat this disease. So, usually Naphthyzin is first instilled into the nose, and after five minutes – drops containing an antibiotic. IN this case the vasoconstrictor will ease breathing, and the second drug will treat the disease.

Contraindications and side effects

Using long time Naphthyzinum from a cold, you should be aware of the possible appearance of the following side effects:

• tachycardia;
• headache;
• burning, dryness in the nose.

Naphthyzinum can cause a severe allergic reaction. Yu. Noticing difficulty breathing, swallowing, and rash – hives, you should immediately consult a doctor. Substance administration of these nasal drops can be stopped within an hour for mild symptoms and 24 hours for more severe symptoms.

It should be remembered that Naphthyzin nasal drops also have a number of contraindications. Not recommended for use by persons with hypersensitivity to the ingredients of this drug and to people who have arterial hypertension. In addition, Naphthyzinum should be avoided when chronic rhinitis, diabetes, tachycardia, severe atherosclerosis and hyperthyroidism.

With the combined use of Naphthyzinum and MAO inhibitors, as well as tricyclic antidepressants, the manifestation of side effects such as fever and blood pressure is not excluded.

During pregnancy and lactation, the use of the drug is allowed with caution and not longer than three days in case of urgent need. Naphthyzinum is strictly contraindicated in children under the age of one year. For the treatment of infants, specially designed absolutely safe drugs are used.

Naphthyzin is an indispensable assistant for those who want to breathe freely. However, it should be remembered that, like any medicinal product, these drops can be harmful to health, so they should be used only as directed by a doctor, otherwise the consequences can be disastrous.

Naphthyzinum - nasal drops to relieve symptoms of nasal congestion. Many use them for years and fall into a real addiction, losing the ability to breathe on their own. Meanwhile, the drug in large doses and with prolonged use is dangerous not only for health, but even for life. Naphthyzinum poisoning in children poses the greatest danger, but overdoses in adults are also not uncommon.

Composition and purpose of Naphthyzinum

The active substance of the anticongestive agent, alpha-adrenergic agonist, or, more simply, vasoconstrictor drops, Naphthyzine is naphazoline. As auxiliary substances, the composition contains purified water and boric acid.

The drug has vasoconstrictive properties, quickly reduces swelling of the nasal mucosa, exudation (discharge), hyperemia (redness).

The use of Naphthyzinum is indicated for:

• acute catarrhal or allergic rhinitis;
• sinusitis;
• eustachitis (inflammation of the auditory tube);
• to perform the rhinoscopy procedure.

Information about contraindications and side effects

In the annotation to the drug, conditions are prescribed in which Naphthyzin has contraindications for use.

Contraindications

The medicine is contraindicated in:

• arterial hypertension;
• tachycardia;
• diabetes mellitus;
• severe eye diseases;
• chronic rhinitis;
• hyperthyroidism;
• severe atherosclerosis;
• hypersensitivity to the components of the drug.

In addition, there are age restrictions for the use of this medication:

• for a 0.1% solution - up to 18 years;
• for 0.05% solution - up to 1 year.

Side effects

As a result of prolonged use or the use of high doses of Naphthyzinum, side effects may occur:

1. Deterioration of the blood supply to the brain and mucous membranes, resulting in migraine symptoms, nervousness and weakness, in children school age the ability to study is reduced, the younger ones may have visual impairment.
2. Raise blood pressure, headache.
3. Swelling and inflammation of the nasal mucosa, hyperemia, dryness, burning in the nose.
4. Increased heart rate (tachycardia).
5. Decrease in the duration of action of the drug, provoking the use of higher doses and increase the frequency of their use.

The latter effect is the most common in patients who have used Naphthyzin for more than 1 week. During this time, small blood vessels the nasal cavity adapt to nasal drops, and Naphthyzin ceases to act on them as a vasoconstrictor for a long time. As a result, patients become dependent on the drug, and begin to increase its dosage uncontrollably.

Interaction with alcohol

Due to the fact that the study of the actions of Naphthyzine is still ongoing, and many aspects, including interactions with other drugs and alcohol, are not well understood, it is difficult to talk about the effect of alcohol on the effect of the drug. However, from the experience of practicing physicians, it is known that the intake of alcoholic beverages can cause swelling of the nasal mucosa in patients with dependence on Naphthyzinum, as a result of which they have to "drip" after drinking alcohol.

Is it possible to get poisoned with Naphthyzinum

Given the vasoconstrictive effect of the drug and its ability to be addictive in patients, the question arises whether Naphthyzinum can be poisoned, and how harmful drops are in the treatment of rhinitis in a child.

Consequences of improper treatment

Strictly speaking, Naphthyzinum is not a cure for the common cold as such. These drops serve auxiliary means to facilitate breathing in various respiratory diseases. Therefore, you can not count on the therapeutic effect of the common cold when using only this medicinal product. And even more so, it is impossible to increase the recommended doses and frequency of Naphthyzinum on your own, because. Is it dangerous.

An uncontrolled increase in doses can lead to dependence on the action of the drug, which will force you to increase its amount even more. And this will already lead to an overdose and poisoning with Naphthyzinum.

Consequences of use in children

Sometimes small children are brought to the intensive care unit, whose parents neglected the warnings in the instructions regarding the age limits for the use of Naphthyzin. The mucous membranes of a small child are much more tender and sensitive than those of an adult. Therefore, even small, according to parents, doses can cause the child to develop adverse reactions with rather severe consequences. In no case should you use Naphthyzinum, the concentration of which does not correspond to the age of the child or in babies under 1 year old!

What happens if you take the medicine

The worst case scenario can expect a baby who drank the contents of a bottle of Naphthyzinum due to the carelessness of his parents. This happens most often in families with small children, where the mother or other adults are drug dependent on Naphthyzinum. Drops that are used several times a day can be on the couch, under the pillow, on the windowsill, that is, where the baby can easily get them and get drunk.

You can also get poisoned by a low-quality, expired drug, even if you follow all the other rules for use.

Clinical picture in case of overdose and degree of poisoning

Signs of Naphthyzinum poisoning can be manifested by the following symptoms:

• abdominal pain, nausea;
• slowdown heart rate(bradycardia);
• lowering blood pressure;
• dizziness, drowsiness, lethargy, in children - a sharp deterioration in mood;
• appearance of cold sweat on the skin, blanching.

These symptoms can be both mild and pronounced. Clinical picture depends on the degree of overdose.

• A mild degree of intoxication is manifested by one or more symptoms that quickly disappear when the drug is discontinued and do not require medical intervention.
• The average degree is usually detected by several symptoms at once, but when you stop using Naphthyzin, it goes away on its own and also does not require the patient to be hospitalized.
• The severe degree is greatest danger, since it primarily disrupts the heart rate - from tachycardia to bradycardia, vomiting and other signs of intoxication may occur and, if measures are not taken, the person may fall into a coma.

Of course, at the first suspicion of a severe degree of Naphthyzinum poisoning, it is necessary to call an ambulance.

How to provide first aid to the victim

The danger of poisoning lies in the fact that the longer the victim is not helped, the more widespread intoxication in the body. The consequences of extensive intoxication can be difficult to predict and sometimes the patient cannot be saved. In order to alleviate the condition of the poisoned person and prevent the further spread of intoxication, it is worth being vigilant before the arrival of doctors.

• Be careful to keep the victim conscious.
• Constantly monitor his respiratory function and heart rhythms.
• Put the victim to bed, cover with a warm blanket and let's drink plenty of warm drinks.
• Watching the pulse, remember or write down its changes, the information may be needed by doctors.

Treatment in a hospital

When a victim is admitted to a hospital, blood will first be taken from him for biochemical analysis and an electrocardiogram was taken.

1. If the poisoning occurred as a result of an overdose during use, then most often the treatment consists in taking sorbents (for example, Enterosgel).
2. If Naphthyzin was drunk, be sure to wash the stomach, prescribe sorbents and symptomatic therapy.
3. If bradycardia is detected, a subcutaneous injection of an antidote, atropine sulfate, is made.
4. In severe cases, the introduction of Prednisolone may be required, in extremely severe cases, Dopamine, infusion therapy is used.
5. At moderate poisoning with Naphthyzinum, the use of rehydrating solutions is effective. As a rule, in 30-60 minutes, all manifestations of intoxication can be stopped.

The cheapness and availability of the drug provokes people with chronic forms rhinitis use the drug uncontrollably and independently treat children with it. But the consequences of an overdose can bring incomparably large expenses for saving the victim from poisoning, not to mention the damage to the health of the poisoned person. Therefore, the use of Naphthyzinum is recommended for 5-7 days, no more.

If after this time the nasal congestion does not go away, you should look for the causes of a prolonged runny nose and other methods of treatment. And for those who are already firmly “addicted” to Naphthyzin, we can advise you to quit it in one motion, in the morning. The first time will be difficult, but no more than 2-3 days. Then the respiratory function will be restored, and you will feel complete freedom from not very useful drops.
