Absolutely everyone is familiar with such a concept as allergy - the high sensitivity of the body to protein factors entering inside from the external environment. Many even experienced all the "charms" of this seasonal state. What is the reason for its appearance?
Strictly speaking, any allergy is a pathology of the immune system and it manifests itself precisely in those cases when quite familiar substances are recognized by the body as harmful or dangerous to normal life. Then, in fact, an allergic reaction begins, aimed at their destruction, which is accompanied by characteristic external manifestations: redness, coughing, sneezing and worsening general condition.
Even the most minor and familiar allergic reaction can become quite dangerous and lead to serious consequences or chronic diseases. This forced all kinds of pharmacological firms to produce a large number of medications, which include tablets, and liquid medicinal formulations, and all kinds of allergy sprays. By the way, the latter are most widely used due to their ease of use.
How to choose a suitable spray for allergies, the price of which does not always correspond to the declared quality and the therapeutic effect? The choice is complicated by the fact that on the shelves of pharmacies there is a real army of bottles and “spray bottles” to suppress unpleasant symptoms. Even experienced pharmacists can not always answer the request of a simple layman to choose the most suitable remedy for their case.
Many people think this way: "To correctly and competently choose allergy sprays, you need to re-read a huge amount of specialized medical literature!" But in fact, everything is much simpler. In order to make the right choice, it is enough to carefully read the list of chemicals that make up the drug or familiarize yourself with the following points of the review of drugs:
- "Sanorin-analergin". It contains two active components, which not only relieve allergic symptoms, but also constrict vessels and reduce swelling of the nose. It is applied no more than two weeks. Suitable for use by both children and adults.
- "Vibrocil." It has a similar effect, but has its contraindications (you must read the instructions for use).
- Prevalin Allergy Spray. Probably the best drug currently available. Equally suitable for use by both adults and children. It has absolutely no side effects.
But, as this often happens, just buying a drug is not enough, and instead of a positive result, the exact opposite is obtained, which happens due to improper use of medicines. The following helpful tips will help you avoid this:
- Almost without exception, allergy sprays are not recommended for use by pregnant women and nursing mothers.
- If not only the nose but also the eyes suffer from allergies, then in addition to the spray, you need to buy eye drops. True, their use is not recommended for people suffering from eye and heart diseases.
- Allergy sprays, narrowing the vessels of the nose, should not be used for a long time due to the occurrence of severe depletion of the mucous membrane. It’s better to “bite” once again than to suffer from additional infectious diseases all my life.
