What sprays should I use for allergies? Hormonal nasal sprays for allergic rhinitis - which is better.

A runny nose and swelling of the mucous membranes of the nasal cavity are characteristic signs of allergic rhinitis. The most popular means for allergies, currently there are sprays that irrigate inner part sinuses, evenly distributed over the entire surface of the mucous membranes. Nasal sprays narrow blood vessels, eliminate nasal congestion, thus normalizing breathing. Let's find out the opinion of experts about which allergy sprays are considered the best.

Effective nasal sprays for seasonal allergies

New generation nasal sprays are more effective than nasal drops and antihistamine tablets. Here are the names of the products that are among the best.

Antihistamine nasal sprays against allergies

Sprays based on cromoglycic acid:

• Cromosol;
• Kromoheksal;
• Cromoghlin.

These medications block bioactive irritants. The drugs are excellent preventative and remedy, leveling the symptoms of the disease even with severe swelling of the mucous membrane.

Levocabastine nasal sprays:

• Levocabastine;
• Histimet;
• Reactin;
• Tizin Alerji.

These products are intended to relieve acute allergic manifestations. These drugs have no special contraindications, but they should be used with caution when treating children under 6 years of age and pregnant women.

Hormonal nasal sprays for allergies

Among the names of hormonal nasal sprays for allergies, the most famous is perhaps Avamis. Like other drugs based on fluticasone, Nazorel and Flixonase, the drug does not give an immediate effect. At the same time, sprays are highly effective in the treatment of both early and advanced forms of allergies. For the spray to be fully effective, it must be used for several days. Avamis and other sprays from this group should not be used in the treatment of patients under 4 years of age; it is recommended that they be used with caution by women during pregnancy.

As you know, (rhinitis) is represented by a complex of symptoms caused by allergic inflammation of the nasal mucosa, and sometimes the sinuses. These include nasal congestion, nasal discharge, itching, and sneezing. Previously, they used to combat these symptoms, but now nasal sprays with an antiallergic effect are becoming more and more popular.

Types of nasal sprays

Nasal sprays against allergies (nasal comes from the Latin word nasis - nose) can be divided into several groups:

• Hormonal sprays for allergies.
• Antihistamines (non-hormonal allergy sprays).
• Cromoglycates (preparations of cromoglycic acid, non-hormonal).
• Barrier (non-hormonal).
• Combined.

Many sites provide lists of allergy sprays, where they suggest using vasoconstrictor sprays for allergies. Vasoconstrictor sprays containing xylometazoline and similar substances actually alleviate the symptoms of allergic rhinitis, but they cannot be used for a long time; they are usually recommended to be taken for no more than a week, so they are not suitable as anti-allergic sprays.

Hormonal allergy sprays

There is a common prejudice against hormone-containing drugs, and sprays in particular. However, this is one of the most effective drugs against allergic rhinitis to date. Their effect is manifested mainly on the mucous membrane, and in usual doses they have virtually no effect on the body as a whole. Nasal sprays such as:

• Flixonase;
• Avamis;
• Nasonex;
• Desrinitis.

They help control both persistent and seasonal rhinitis of allergic origin. In addition, hormone sprays are effective if there is allergic conjunctivitis or vasomotor rhinitis. They are used in severe or moderate cases, for a long time or only during the flowering of plants that are sources of allergenic pollen (then treatment begins 2 weeks before the expected unfavorable season).

Most a common complication hormonal sprays are nose bleed, very rarely - perforation (formation of a hole) of the nasal septum. To avoid this, it is recommended to direct the spray stream towards the wing of the nose, that is, outwards, and not inwards (towards the nasal septum). Candidiasis of the mucous membranes of the nose and throat also sometimes develops.

Hormonal sprays for allergies

• Flycosonase (contains fluticasone). A drug that has been used for many years and has proven itself. The main disadvantage is the price.

For adults and children over 12 years of age, for the prevention and treatment of allergic rhinitis, the recommended dose is 2 injections into each nasal passage once a day, better in the morning(total dose 200 mcg/day). Once symptom control is achieved, the dose can be reduced to 1 spray in each nostril once a day.

There is a cheaper analogue - nazarel.

• Avamys (contains fluticasone furoate). The manufacturer considers it a new generation allergy spray; due to the unusual injection device and the modified formula of the active substance, the effect should occur faster and stronger.

To achieve maximum therapeutic effect, it is necessary to adhere to a regular regimen of use. The onset of action can be observed within 8 hours after the first administration. For achievement maximum effect may take several days.

Adults and adolescents (12 years of age and older): The recommended initial dose is 2 sprays (27.5 mcg of fluticasone furoate in 1 spray) into each nostril 1 time per day (110 mcg/day). Once adequate symptom control is achieved, reducing the dose to 1 spray in each nostril once daily (55 mcg/day) may be effective for maintenance treatment.

• Nasonex (contains mometasone). High quality spray. Considered the safest for children. There are also analogues: momat rhino, desrinit, nosephrine (Russian analogue). You must understand that all safety studies were conducted on the original drug.

Before using Nasonex ® nasal spray for the first time, it is necessary to “calibrate” it by pressing the dispensing device 6-7 times. After “calibration”, a stereotypical delivery of the drug is established, in which with each press of the button approximately 100 mg of mometasone furoate suspension is released, containing mometasone furoate monohydrate in an amount equivalent to 50 μg of chemically pure mometasone furoate. If the allergy nasal spray has not been used for 14 days or longer, recalibration is necessary before using it again. Before each use, shake the spray bottle vigorously.

Adults (incl. old age) and adolescents over 12 years of age, the usually recommended preventive and therapeutic dose of the drug is 2 inhalations (50 mcg each) into each nostril, once (total daily dose 200 mcg). After achieving the desired therapeutic effect for maintenance therapy, it is advisable to reduce the dose to 1 inhalation in each nostril 1 time per day (total daily dose 100 mcg).

• Tafen nasal (contains budesonide). Budesonide is a fairly weak hormone, but one of the safest and most studied. Therefore, the spray is more suitable for long-term use. Adults and children over 6 years of age: Initially, 2 doses of 50 mcg of budesonide in each nasal passage 2 times a day. The usual maintenance dose is 1 dose in each nasal passage 2 times a day or 2 doses in each nasal passage 1 time per day, in the morning. The maintenance dose should be the lowest effective dose that eliminates symptoms of rhinitis.
• Nasobek (contains beclomethasone). Inexpensive anti-allergy spray. Before using Nasobek, the nasal passages must be free. Adults and children over 6 years of age: 1 dose (50 mcg) in each nasal passage 2–4 times a day (200–400 mcg). The dose is then reduced depending on the patient's response. The maximum daily dose is 400 mcg.

Antihistamine allergy sprays (H1 blockers)

Weaker than hormonal, especially with concomitant eye symptoms. And in general, weaker than hormonal ones. They have a significant advantage over antihistamine tablets– act on the mucous membrane, and not on the entire body (although modern antihistamine tablets are well tolerated). The advantage over hormonal sprays is that they act relatively quickly, the effect begins within a few minutes. Also often used in combination therapy, together with hormonal allergy sprays.

The main side effects are local irritation of the mucous membrane, burning of the mucous membrane.

• Tizin Alergi (contains levocabastin). A fast-acting allergy spray, the effect occurs within a few minutes after use. The manufacturer claims that it also affects eye symptoms- itching in the eyes, redness of the eyes, lacrimation. Relatively inexpensive. Not to be confused with just Tizin .

Administer intranasally to adults and children over 6 years of age, 2 doses (100 mcg) in each nasal passage 2 times a day. The use of the drug should be continued until the symptoms disappear. With more severe symptoms, the drug can be used 3-4 times / day. Before first use, remove the protective cap and press the spray nozzle several times until a cloud of “fog” appears. The bottle is ready for further use. Inhale the drug through the nose.

• Allergodil (contains azelastine). It appeared quite a long time ago, but did not gain popularity either among patients or specialists. Quite expensive. Many patients complain of an unpleasant bitter taste in the mouth after use.

For allergic rhinitis and rhinoconjunctivitis adults and children 6 years and older administer 1 dose (140 mcg/0.14 ml) into each nasal passage 2 times a day in the morning and evening. If necessary - 2 doses (280
mcg/0.28 ml) in each nasal passage 2 times a day in the morning and evening. Allergodil ® is used until symptoms stop and is suitable for long-term use, but not more than 6 months of continuous treatment.

Allergy sprays with cromoglycate (cromoglicic acid)

Cromoglycates stabilize mast cell membranes. It would take quite a long time to explain this phrase, so let’s focus on the properties of these sprays. These drugs appeared a long time ago and are gradually losing their position. However, they have an excellent safety profile. The action is quite weak, the effect does not occur immediately, but they have a cumulative effect. I require multiple doses - 3-4 doses per day. In general, good for mild forms. Relatively inexpensive, even taking into account the large number of “zilch” per day.

• Cromohexal.For adults and children over 5 years of age, it is recommended to administer 1 dose (one pump) (2.8 mg of cromoglycic acid) into each nasal passage 4 times a day (total - 11.2 mg of cromoglycic acid). If necessary, you can use 1 dose up to a maximum of 6 times (maximum 16.8 mg) per day in each nasal passage.

After achieving a therapeutic effect, the frequency of use of the drug can be reduced and Cromohexal can be used only when in contact with allergens (house dust, fungal spores, pollen). The course of treatment is 4 weeks. Cancellation should be made gradually over 1 week.

Before using the drug for the first time, remove the protective cap and press the sprayer 3-4 times to achieve uniform dosing of the drug. Before using the drug, you should clean the nasal passages, carefully insert the spray nozzle into the nasal passage and, while inhaling through the nose, press the spray nozzle all the way. After using the drug, the spray nozzle should be wiped with a dry, clean cloth and closed with a protective cap.

• Cromoghlin. Spray - adults and children over 6 years old - 1 dose (2.8 mg) in each nasal passage 4-6 times a day.

Allergy barrier sprays

Are not included in any official recommendations, being, in fact, aids, limited use. They are safe due to the fact that they contain practically no active medicinal components. Usually contain vegetable oils as additional components.

Nasal sprays local action, the contents of which settle on the walls of the nasal cavity in gel form and thereby protect it from the action of various types of allergens.

The cost is comparable to medications, but they are used only as a supplement to them.

• Nazaval. The active component of the drug is micronized cellulose. Also contains natural peppermint extract.

In adults and children (under adult supervision): 1 spray into each nostril every 6–8 hours. As a rule, the recommended dosage is sufficient to prevent symptoms of rhinitis. It is recommended to repeat injections of the preparations after each blowing of the nose to resume the formation of a protective film.

• Nazaval plus. Same as Nazaval, only with wild garlic extract.

• Prevalin. Mixture vegetable oils and glycerin. Softens the mucous membrane and creates a barrier to contact with the allergen. It can also be used without special restrictions.

1-2 injections into each nasal passage, 2-3 times a day (one dose provides protection for 4-6 hours). Children 6-12 years old should use Prevalnn Kids and only under adult supervision. Before each use, you must clean your nose.

Combination allergy sprays

The main use is the initial stage of treatment, when symptoms are most severe, in order to subsequently switch to a spray with one component. They usually contain two components: a hormone and an antihistamine.

• Momat rhino advance. Not to be confused with Momat Reno . Contains hormone and antihistamine. As the manufacturer suggests, it is used on initial stage treatment, and then, after two weeks, switch to Momat Rino, i.e. for a purely hormonal nasal spray for allergies. The scheme itself is good, but it hits the pocket pretty hard. Inhalation of the suspension contained in the bottle is carried out using a special dispensing nozzle on the bottle.

1 dose of spray (azelastine hydrochloride - 140 mcg / mometasone furoate - 50 mcg) in each nostril 2 times a day in the morning and evening. Duration of treatment - 2 weeks.

• Vibrocil. It contains antihistamine and vasoconstrictor components, which greatly limits its use, since, as we wrote above, vasoconstrictor drugs cannot be used for a long time. Can be recommended as " ambulance“, for example, if you come to visit, and there is a cat... Or in the initial period of flowering, when the symptoms are most pronounced.

Adults and children over 6 years of age are prescribed 1-2 sprays into each nasal passage 3-4 times a day. When using the spray, the sprayer should be held vertically, with the tip facing up. Keeping the head straight, insert the tip into the nasal passage, once short sudden movement compress the spray, and removing the tip from the nose, unclench. During spraying, it is recommended to inhale slightly through the nose.

Is a pathological reaction of the nasal mucosa to various irritants that are in air environment. This phenomenon, in contrast to infectious rhinitis, as a rule, is chronic. Allergies can be diagnosed in patients of any gender and age group, so information about the most effective remedies for relieving inflammation and swelling is required for any person who suffers from seasonal or year-round allergies.

What sprays are there for allergic rhinitis?

Usage nasal sprays against allergies is one of the ways to combat a runny nose, which can give a long-term and quick effect. Before prescribing a specific nasal spray for allergies, the doctor must identify the cause of allergic rhinitis, the elimination of which will provide a better chance of achieving a long-term therapeutic effect.

To eliminate symptoms, the patient must use only an effective allergy nasal spray. Ignorant use of any product will not help achieve a full, long-lasting effect. Doctors say: only when qualified approach It is possible to cure any specific rhinitis.

Nasal allergy sprays can be:

• antihistamines;
• vasoconstrictor;
• hormonal.

This classification of antiallergic drugs makes it possible to consider in more detail the role of each of these drugs on irritants in treatment allergic reaction organism.

Hormonal nasal sprays for allergies: features of use and names

To relieve swelling and inflammation of the mucous membranes, experts advise using hormonal nasal allergy medications. The names of the sprays that are in greatest demand do not provide the patient with complete and comprehensive information about the features of using this antiallergic drug and do not help determine which one to use. pharmacological group refers to a certain medicine.

To the most popular corticosteroid drugs for the nose with rhinitis, doctors include:

Most often, many of these sprays are used only for treatment of adults of people. The drugs have an immediate effect, removing discomfort from rhinitis to long time. Hormonal sprays usually relieve general state and human breathing for 6-8 hours. These drugs have anti-inflammatory and antiallergic properties. By the way, relieving the inflammatory process is one of the main goals that needs to be achieved at the beginning therapeutic treatment.

The main feature of sprays is their manufacture with dispensers in special bottles. Overdose spray, unlike using drops, is impossible: when you press the product, a certain volume of medicine comes out. Of all the sprays on the list, the safest are Nasonex and Avamis. If necessary, they can be used for children and pregnant women. But unlike Flixonase, the effect of Avamis does not occur instantly - after approximately 4-5 hours.

Using hormonal drugs from an allergic reaction in the nose, it must be remembered that these sprays can cause side effects:

• sensation of itching and burning;
• dryness of the mucous membrane of the nasal passages;
• nosebleeds;
• thirst.

All medications have different effects, but, as a rule, to alleviate the patient’s condition for one day, 2-3 injections into each nasal passage with a time interval of 5-7 hours are enough. It should be taken into account that corticosteroid drugs have many contraindications and can also cause addiction to the body, so you should not use them without the supervision of a doctor or on your own.

Antiallergic drugs for the treatment of persistent and seasonal rhinitis

Antihistamines Nasal allergy sprays do not contain hormonal substances. The following drugs showed the best effectiveness:

• Kromoheksal;
• Levocabastine;
• Aldecin;
• Allergodil.

Drugs from this group of nasal agents are used not only for the therapeutic treatment of rhinitis, but also in preventive purposes against seasonal allergies. Knowing about possible contact with any irritant, or before coming potentially dangerous season, patients can improve their immune system and thus prepare their body for the inevitable “attack” of irritants. About one month before the potentially dangerous season for allergies, you need to take care of the body's anti-allergic complex defense. To generally improve immunity, oral agents in the form of drops and tablets are used. Antihistamine sprays can help improve the immunity of the nasal mucosa to irritants.

For a quick attack therapeutic effect Most often, these drugs are used simultaneously with corticosteroids. Allergodil is considered one of the most effective, well-proven medications. The unique effect on histamine receptors and the lack of analogues allow us to classify this drug as the most effective.

But you can use the spray only if there is no whole list contraindications, which includes:

• breastfeeding or pregnancy;
• the child's age is less than 6 years;
• personal intolerance to medication substances;
• renal failure.

It should also be noted that many of the antihistamines, during their prolonged use, can have negative impact on the patient’s performance, have a depressing effect, which affects concentration and attention. Manufacturers of allergy nasal sprays and experts recommend holding off on operating machinery and driving a car.

Any nasal drug has excellent effectiveness antihistamine from allergies. The list of sprays presented above includes preparations for long-term use(up to six months). Despite the fact that the minimum concentration of active ingredients in these products is much lower, in contrast to drugs with systemic effects, after injection, antiallergic sprays guarantee the removal of swelling within 25-40 minutes.

Nasal sprays for vasoconstriction in allergic rhinitis

Vasoconstrictor allergy medications are the first choice for improving breathing and relieve swelling of the nasopharynx. The principle of their work is directly indicated by the name: these sprays affect blood circulation in the nasal mucosa. With sufficient expansion of the nasal passages and restoration of normal blood circulation, congestion goes away and breathing becomes free. Vasoconstrictor drops and nasal sprays can help with both allergic rhinitis and colds.

Such medications can be purchased at any pharmacy without a prescription. Oxymetazoline, xylometazoline and naphazoline are the main active substances, which are contained in sprays. It is definitely difficult to say which drug is better for allergic rhinitis. Before using any medicine for allergies, it is best to consult your doctor.

To narrow blood vessels, the following are most often used:

• Naphthyzin;
• Sanorin;
• Tizin;
• Xymelin;
• Nazivin;
• Nazol;
• Rinazoline;
• Otrivin.

All drugs from the above list act on blood vessels almost instantly. Moreover therapeutic effect lasts approximately 11-12 hours. Significant disadvantage Nasal sprays of this group are considered to quickly become addictive to the nasal mucosa. In addition, if the drug is used excessively, the patient may experience so-called drug-induced edema. To remove this effect, you will need to use additional medications.

Unlike nasal drops, vasoconstrictor sprays penetrate into the most inaccessible parts of the nasopharynx due to spraying active component . In this case, the medicine in the form of drops often ends up in the throat, which cannot be said about the spray. There are almost no contraindications to the use of nasal agents for vasoconstriction. Only in exceptional cases, for example, during a difficult pregnancy due to the possibility oxygen starvation these medications may be contraindicated for the fetus.

Allergy sprays during pregnancy

You need to understand that pregnancy is a time in a woman’s life when it is necessary to minimize the use of any medications without urgent reasons. Doctors recommend using prophylactic drugs before pregnancy to prevent complications during pregnancy. It is also undesirable to use anti-allergy drugs in the nose during the first trimester of pregnancy, as this may have a negative effect on the baby. You should not use medications from this group during lactation.

But there are drugs that, to a certain extent, can be used in this situation, but their use must be carried out under the full supervision of a doctor:

• Tavegil. Could potentially be dangerous drug for the fetus, but if necessary, can be used with the permission of a doctor;
• Allertek. It is possible to use the drug during pregnancy, but the risk is still very high;
• Suprastin. This remedy is used only when the mother's allergies threaten the child to a greater extent than the described remedy. The use of Suprastin is possible for acute allergies and their treatment in the 2nd and 3rd trimesters of pregnancy.

Which effective nasal spray should I choose for children with allergies?

Since allergic rhinitis in patients in early age observed much less frequently, unlike in adults, it is necessary to become familiar with the features of using sprays for children. When choosing a suitable product, one way or another, it is required pediatrician consultation and an allergist. A qualified doctor, taking into account the child’s body weight, his age, individual characteristics and other important data, will be able to choose an effective and safe nasal spray for allergic rhinitis. But for the treatment of allergies of any etiology in infants, the use of sprays is impossible - only drops can be prescribed for children under one year of age.

Antihistamines and hormonal drugs are not suitable for children under 2 years of age. To restore breathing and relieve swelling in a child vasoconstrictor sprays used in the minimum permissible dosage:

For parallel moisturizing mucous membrane, you can use Salin, Aquamaris. The treatment regimen for allergic rhinitis for children 2-3 years old may include Cromoglin, and for children over 6 years old:

• Flucoticasone;
• Kromoheksal;
• Rinoclenil;
• Alcedin;
• Nasobek.

These drugs are used 3-4 times during the day with the same injection time. Among antihistamines for children 6 years old it is necessary to allocate:

• Tizin allergies;
• Allergodil;
• Prevalin;
• Nazawal;
• Vibrocil.

Due to the strong anti-allergic effect of these sprays, the severity of swelling and inflammation is reduced, and a smaller volume of mucous discharge is produced from the nasal passages. In addition, the drugs have a barrier effect, preventing irritants from penetrating into the nasal cavity. The active substances of the sprays are not absorbed into the blood, and the risk of side effects during treatment is close to zero, which is very important for allergic rhinitis in children.

Relieving allergy symptoms is the main goal of using nasal sprays. But we must not forget that only a specialist is obliged to prescribe any remedy, regardless of the consistency or seasonality of the manifestations. A nasal allergy spray for both children and adults will produce the desired effect only if the patient can get rid of the irritant or significantly limit contact with it.

Range of nasal medications

Only a doctor can choose the optimal nasal therapeutic agent, but every allergic person and his relatives should know the range of drugs for allergic rhinitis.

1. Steroid aerosols and nasal sprays with a strong anti-allergic effect: Nasobek, Benorin, Amavis, Nasonex, Aldecin, Baconase, Flixonase, Nazarel.

Properties of glucocorticosteroid sprays:

The general anti-allergic effect of the hormonal spray from allergic rhinitis is noticeable 2-4 hours after application.

2. Nasal antihistamines: “Allergodil”, “Histimet”.

The best remedy for allergic rhinitis during seasonal exacerbations associated with flowering is the preventive use of antihistamines, which affect the very mechanism of allergy.

But in the treatment of the common cold, these drugs are in the second row.

Typically, antihistamines are prescribed in the form of tablets for allergic rhinitis, syrups (Cetrin, Loratadine, Zyrtec, Zodak, Erius, Parlazin), but more effective and safe form is a spray, for example, “Allergodil” (begins to act after 15 minutes).

This antihistamine blocks H1-histamine receptors, reduces vascular permeability, has a blocking effect on mast cell membranes, thereby reducing itching, inflammation, swelling, and subsiding attacks of sneezing and runny nose.

Antihistamine spray "Allergodil" is an antiallergic drug used for up to 6 months at any stage of development of allergic rhinitis. Unlike systemic drugs (tablets), nasal antihistamine spray penetrates into the blood much more slowly (8 times).

Also, “Allergodil” is prohibited during pregnancy, lactation and for children under 6 years of age.

3. Vasoconstrictors (adrenergic agonists): “Nazivin”, “Galazolin”, “Tizin”, “Otrivin”, “Naphthyzin”, “Nazol”.

• quickly restore normal breathing;
• relieve swelling of the nasopharynx;
• influence the process of mucus formation, reducing its secretion.

The effect of vasoconstrictor drugs is limited. They relieve symptoms of rhinitis, but do not cure allergies. The patient continues to sneeze, his immune system continues to react to allergens.

But if you urgently need to eliminate acute allergy symptoms, adrenergic agonists are best suited. They act very quickly - in a couple of minutes it returns to normal. nasal breathing, after 10 minutes there is significant relief.

They are not suitable for long-term use, they lead to addiction if the course of treatment exceeds 5-7 days, and can even cause drug-induced rhinitis.

4. Isotonic aerosols: “Aqualor”, “Aquamaris”

Isotonic aerosols (“Aqualor”, “Aquamaris” and their analogues) consist of natural ingredients, are free of side effects and virtually have no contraindications (except for individual hypersensitivity). For these reasons, they can be prescribed even to children from 1 year of age.

Allergen particles are quickly removed from the nose, while the sprays restore the integrity of the mucous membrane, activate microcilia, increase local immunity, and prevent the formation of crusts on the epithelial layer of the nose that arise from the use of vasoconstrictor drugs.

The hygiene procedure can be carried out anywhere: at home, at work, on the street, which is very convenient and does not take much time.

The principle of action of the described drugs is not antiallergic, but they are indicated for the prevention and enhancement of the effect of complex treatment rhinitis using steroid, antihistamine or vasoconstrictor sprays and drops.

5. Combination drugs

This is the remedy double acting similar to Sonarin-Analergin drops. "Vibrocil" combines antihistamine and vasoconstrictor properties, has a strong anti-inflammatory and antiallergic effect, and increases vascular tone.

The intranasal drug "Vibrocil" is effective in cases where you need to quickly relieve irritation and influence the production of mucus. Advantage this tool For local treatment rhinitis is its safety: the drug does not violate the integrity of the epithelium lining the nasal passages, and is almost not absorbed into the blood.

The second advantage of Vibrocil and its analogues is its high efficiency in eliminating allergic symptoms.

For children under 6 years of age, it is advisable to prescribe this remedy in drops. Not suitable for long-term use (no longer than 5 days, maximum a week), otherwise it may lead to drug-induced rhinitis.

6. Sprays that stop the release of histamine: “Ifiral”, “Kromosol”, “Kromohexal”, “Cromoglin”.

Used for mild flow rhinitis

When using nasal drops, sprays, or aerosols for rhinitis, do not forget that none of these remedies eliminate the cause of the allergy, so treatment will not be effective if the patient continues to be exposed to the allergen.

It is also recommended to eliminate all provoking factors ( tobacco smoke, cold, dusty premises, exposure to chemicals, excessive dryness or humidity), rinse your nose with saline and boost your immunity.

Sprays and drops must be used strictly according to a doctor's prescription to avoid the addictive effect, adverse reactions and increased symptoms of rhinitis under the influence of chemicals contained in nasal medications.

When free histamine appears in the blood, histamine H1 receptors become excited and cause the following reactions:

• Swelling of the mucous membrane;
• expansion of capillaries;
• itching, redness.

Thus, histamine, acting on H1 receptors, manifests allergic symptoms and makes the work visible immune system. The obvious and most effective method combating allergic manifestations - breaking the histamine chain, which is achieved by blocking H1 receptors or preventing the release of histamine.

What nasal spray for allergies can be used for children and adults? Nasal allergy sprays are considered the most effective treatment for a runny nose, which can give quick results. But before prescribing any spray, you first need to find out the cause of the body’s nonspecific reaction. Eliminating this cause will allow you to obtain a long-term therapeutic result and get rid of the disease.

When an allergic rhinitis develops, the patient's nasal mucosa becomes swollen or inflamed.

• itching in the nose;
• discharge of clear secretion from the nose;
• sneezing
• difficulty passing air through the nose.

In order to get rid of allergic rhinitis, it is necessary to eliminate the causes of the disease. At the same time, many patients believe that this is primarily facilitated by relieving irritation of the nasal mucosa.

A properly selected allergy spray, which should be prescribed by your attending physician, will help eliminate the unpleasant symptoms of the disease. You shouldn’t prescribe for yourself medications from allergic rhinitis, since this will not allow you to get the desired and long-term effect.

• vasoconstrictor;
• hormonal;
• antihistamines.

This classification of a spray against allergic rhinitis will allow us to more accurately understand the mechanism of its action and the effect it has on irritants.

• they should be used only during periods of exacerbation;
• before using all sprays, except vasoconstrictors, it is necessary to clear the nose of accumulated mucus;
• Allergy spray must be sprayed while inhaling, while keeping your head strictly vertical;
• Before using the nasal allergy spray, you need to shake the bottle thoroughly;
• A nasal spray for an allergic reaction that has developed in a person is injected into each nasal passage in dosages specified by the attending physician.

By observing these simple rules, you will be able to quickly treat the disease, and also not harm your own health.

To eliminate inflammation and swelling of the nasal mucosa, the doctor may prescribe a hormonal allergy spray to the patient. However, the names of the most common drugs do not allow us to understand which specific group of drugs they belong to, as well as the features of their use. Therefore, it is the doctor who must prescribe the necessary nasal spray for allergies, which will be appropriate in a particular situation.

A hormonal nasal spray for allergies is more often prescribed. next list:

• Avamis;
• Nasobek;
• Nazawal;
• Flonase.

Most of these drugs are used to eliminate severe allergic rhinitis in an adult. They have an immediate effect and eliminate the symptoms of such a runny nose. for a long time, which is approximately 7-8 hours.

Distinctive feature of these sprays against developing allergies is that they are produced with special dispensers, making it impossible to overdose. This is due to the fact that when you press the button, a certain amount of medicine comes out. Most safe means for runny nose and allergies are new generation drugs such as Nasonex and Avamis. If particularly necessary, anti-allergy sprays that contain hormones can be taken even by pregnant women and children. But at the same time, compared to Fliconase, Avamis begins to act in about 5-6 hours.

• severe and persistent nosebleeds;
• dry nasal mucosa;
• thirst;
• itching in the nose.

Despite all positive properties It is worth knowing that these aerosols have a large number of contraindications and can be addictive.

A runny nose resulting from an allergy is serious illness which requires mandatory treatment. Frequently occurring symptoms of the disease can disrupt normal life patients and lead to serious complications such as bronchial asthma. To alleviate the patient’s condition, all kinds of local medicinal compounds are used, which also include vasoconstrictor antiallergic nasal sprays. They help overcome external signs allergies - sneezing, runny nose, relieve swelling and normalize breathing. One of positive qualities is that the drugs latest generation endowed with long therapeutic effect.

1. The active substance is absorbed into the bloodstream, which necessarily affects the functioning of the heart muscle. Quite often this occurs in children, since their nasal mucosa is highly absorbent. In addition, the rate of absorption also depends on the violation of the integrity of the epithelium.
2. Immunity decreases because the nasal spray dries out the internal epithelium.
3. The blood supply to the nasal membranes deteriorates, which eventually become too sensitive to any, even minimal injuries. The normal removal of snot from the nasal passages is also disrupted.
4. In children, the medicine can penetrate the throat, and from there into the stomach, where it is absorbed into the blood. Therefore, even a slight exaggeration of the optimal dose can cause allergies.
5. There may be an addiction to the drug, which is called drug-induced rhinitis. After discontinuation of the anti-allergy nasal spray, there is a sharp increase in the integrity of the blood vessels, swelling of the mucous membrane occurs, endowed with a pronounced character. It is important to note that each time treatment is carried out, the duration of the drug is reduced.

It is important to always remember that the use of vasoconstrictor compounds should last no more than a week in a row. Before using the allergy aerosol, it is necessary to clean the nose with a saline solution, which will ensure complete absorption of the medicinal composition.

Vasoconstrictor antiallergic drugs perfectly help relieve swelling of the nasopharynx, as well as improve breathing, which is ensured due to their effect on the blood supply to the nasal mucosa. After the natural expansion of the nasal passages occurs and the blood flow is restored, at this moment the person’s breathing normalizes, and congestion also disappears.

You can purchase vasoconstrictor drugs at any pharmacy, and they are sold without a doctor’s prescription. Main active ingredients are Xylometazoline, Oxymetazoline and Naphazoline, however, it is difficult to say which drug is best to use to eliminate allergies - in this case, it is better to ask a doctor for advice.

Today the following vasoconstrictors are used:

• Naphthyzin;
• Nazol;
• Rinazoline;
• Nazivin;
• Xymelin.

These sprays have an effect on blood vessels after just a few minutes. It is important to note that they therapeutic effect lasts for 10-12 hours. The main disadvantage of the above drugs is that when they are used, the mucous membrane gets used to the drug. It should also be borne in mind that with frequent use, a person can easily develop edema, which threatens the person’s life. To quickly overcome side effects, you will have to use other medicinal compounds.

If we compare sprays and drops endowed with vasodilating properties, the former differ in that they are able to penetrate into some places in the nasopharynx - this happens due to the spraying of the active component.

No special contraindications to the use of nasal vasoconstrictors no, but they are often prohibited by doctors during severe pregnancy.

When an allergen enters the body, it begins to produce biologically active substances, one of which is histamine.

• constant sneezing;
• cough;
• edema;
• watery runny nose;
• appearance of a rash.

Thanks to the use of special medicinal formulations, intended for the nose, it is possible to reduce the production of histamine in the body and at the same time neutralize the already released substance.

This leads to the fact that the main symptoms of an allergic reaction disappear, the amount of mucus decreases, but swelling of the mucous membrane remains.

The following drugs are most effective:

• Aldecin;
• Levocabastine;
• Kromoheksal;

These antihistamines are used both in the fight against runny nose of allergic origin and for its prevention. A patient who knows about the upcoming development of the disease is able to strengthen his immunity in advance, as well as prepare the body for seasonal allergies. This can be done approximately 2-4 weeks before the onset of allergies, since antihistamines can increase the immunity of the nasal mucosa to external irritants.

The most effective and fast-acting spray for allergic rhinitis is Allergodil, which is distinguished by its unique effect on human receptors, as well as the absence of analogues. However, it has several contraindications.

• pregnancy and breastfeeding;
• age less than 6 years;
• individual intolerance to the components of the drug;
• renal failure.

Although each of the above antiallergic sprays is distinguished by its rapid principle of action, on average, a person suffering from bronchitis needs to make 3-4 injections into each nostril once every 7 hours - this will quickly achieve a therapeutic effect.

It is important to note that most of Antihistamine compounds, when used frequently and for a long time, can have a negative effect on the patient’s body, which will affect the person’s attention, concentration and performance.

That is why, when taking Avamys or another spray for the throat and nose, you need to be careful when driving a car or when working with dangerous mechanisms.

Doctors note that currently, almost every antihistamine composition for the nose is highly effective due to its strong antiallergic properties. That is why treatment with sprays can be carried out in just 1-2 weeks.
However, if necessary, the drug is prescribed for 5-6 months. In this case, it mainly maintains the patient’s health, and also constantly clears the lungs and bronchi from phlegm. After just 20 minutes, nasal sprays relieve swelling and improve a person’s breathing. Which also emphasizes the effectiveness of treatment with these medicines.
