Drops from the cold "Pinosol" - for children and not only

This transparent greenish liquid is a mixture of essential (pine, peppermint, eucalyptus) and vegetable oils. The drug effectively removes the swelling of the nasal mucosa, restoring the disturbed nasal breathing.

"Pinosol" is indicated for use in chronic or acute diseases that affect the mucous membrane of the nasopharynx, bronchi and trachea. It effectively fights against the local inflammatory process and, in addition, improves the blood supply to the mucosa, facilitating its rapid recovery. "Pinosol" for children and adults alleviates the course of rhinitis and quickly eliminates its symptoms. It is also shown after surgery in the nasal cavity.

"Pinosol" is usually well tolerated, but an allergic reaction to its components is possible, caused by an individual intolerance to essential oils. During the application of this remedy, especially for the treatment of young children, care should be taken and the body's reaction should be monitored. If the sensation of burning occurs on the mucous membrane, it becomes inflamed, reddens or swells, the application of Pinosol should be discontinued. For the same reason, categorically not allowed to use "Pinosol" for children under one year. In addition, with inadvertent inhalation of funds by young children (up to two years), bronchospasm may be spasmodic, a reflex narrowing that makes it difficult to exhale. This condition requires urgent medical attention. To prevent this terrible complication, children aged 1-2 years are not allowed to dig in the "Pinosol" for children in the nose. Drop the funds on a cotton flagellum or wand with a cotton tip, and then gently lubricate the nasal passages of the child.

Children over the age of two and adults "Pinosol" are dripping in the nose. Admissible child dose of the drug - 1-2 drops, no more than 4 times a day. Adults first instill "Pinosol" every hour, and then, after alleviating the symptoms and restoring free breathing, - with a longer interval. The permissible dose is 2-3 drops at a time, in each of the nasal passages. You can use "Pinosol" for children older than 3 years and adults and in the form of inhalations: while on 1 liter of water, take 50 drops of the drug (2 ml). Inhalation can be done twice a day for 10 minutes, only on the advice of a doctor.

"Pinosol" is one of the few drugs for the treatment of rhinitis, the use of which is permitted during pregnancy. Its components effectively affect the mucous membrane of the nose, eliminating not only the inflammatory manifestations, but also the so-called "rhinitis of the pregnant." This unpleasant condition, caused by hormonal changes in the body, occurs, as a rule, in the middle of pregnancy. In most cases, it is expressed slightly and passes by itself soon after childbirth. However, sometimes for the relief of nasal breathing, a pregnant woman requires the use of medicines. However, it must be remembered that in any case, use of Pinosol, a baby or intended for the treatment of adult patients, should not last longer than 7 days.

When using the drug, avoid contact with the eyes to avoid burning their mucous membranes. Overdose of "Pinosol" with local application is not dangerous and does no harm. Store this drug in a dark place at a temperature not exceeding +25 degrees, not more than three years. Information on the interaction of Pinosol with other medicines is not available today.
