At the time of an overdose, side effects increase. With these symptoms, it is important to consult a specialist immediately.

Nasal spray for small children

Before proceeding with the treatment of a child, it is necessary to carefully study the instructions. Frequently used sprays seem harmless to adults, but children under 1 or even 2 years are categorically contraindicated. Spray "Snoop" for children in a small dosage for children is prescribed from 2 years, preferably before the beginning of admission to consult with a doctor. Neglect of instructions can threaten the health of the child, so, inept treatment of the common cold can lead to more serious consequences and complicating the condition of the small patient.

The nose is stuffy during pregnancy - how to be?

Quite often, with nasal congestion, adults themselves choose an effective remedy: drops, sprays, etc. However, during pregnancy everything changes drastically, it's quite risky to prescribe something for yourself, and the choice of means is quite small. Self-medication or advice from friends in this case can be expensive for both mother and baby. It should be understood that nasal congestion throughout the nine months of pregnancy is a temporary condition, and after the birth, everything will be fine.

The second side of the medal

Coryza during pregnancy can be not only unpleasant, but also dangerous. This may be due to the presence of a viral disease in the body, viruses constitute a great threat during the formation of the placenta and internal organs of the fetus. At this stage, the central nervous system of the child may suffer the first.

Despite the fact that rhinitis of pregnant women is the result of raging hormones in the mother's body, and as a rule, special treatment is not required, yet one must be cautious. For example, the air delivered through the mouth is not cleaned and warmed, as with nasal breathing, therefore, the woman has a greater risk of catching an infectious or cold disease.

Do not lose sight of the fact that with nasal congestion, there is a risk of fetal hypoxia (lack of oxygen), which is also extremely undesirable for a mother with a baby.

Vasoconstrictive drops during pregnancy: can I apply?

It is widely believed that in pregnancy it is forbidden to use nasal drops. This is due to the fact that the nasal drops have a systemic effect, this implies the effect of the drug not only on vessels located in the nasal cavity, but also throughout the body. Spasm of blood vessels caused by a drug can lead to a decrease in the amount of blood supplied to the fetus, which means that there is oxygen deficiency. Particularly undesirable is the use of vasoconstrictive drops in the early stages of pregnancy.

However, despite all these plausible facts, there has not yet been an effective study of the effect of such drops on the baby in the womb. Therefore, in advance it is considered dangerous for future mothers to be a remedy.

But, on the other hand, leaving a runny nose without treatment is also not the case, because if the mother is difficult to breathe, respectively, and the child feels a lack of oxygen. Therefore, based on the anamnesis of the future mother and her current condition, the doctor can still prescribe the drug "Snoop" for children during pregnancy. It should be used for a short time and without much fanaticism, strictly following the instructions of a specialist. Do not increase the dosage or frequency of application.

Achieved successes

According to analytical estimates, in 2009, 35 new trade names appeared on the Russian pharmaceutical market among vasoconstrictors for the treatment of rhinitis. In conditions of high competition, STADA CIS was able to bring to the domestic market an absolute novelty, the Snoop children's drug (0.05%) and for adults (0.1%), which in 2009 ranked in the second ten in sales in its segment . The success of the brand is due to the undoubted quality of the goods at a very reasonable price. Let's hope for further successful development of the brand, which will entail the creation of new highly effective drugs.
