Active substance and dosage
These drops belong to the category of vasoconstrictors, which guarantees a reduction in edema of the mucous membrane and facilitates breathing. Active substances Adranol for children are trimazoline and phenylephrine, which have proven themselves in the treatment of acute and chronic rhinitis, sinusitis, as well as in preparation for otolaryngology operations or procedures. For children, Adrianol drops are produced in vials with a dosage of trimazoline hydrochloride and phenylephrine hydrochloride at 500 μg.
Instructions for use Adranol for children
Depending on the age of the baby these drops are prescribed in different dosages:
- for newborns and carpoys for up to a year it is recommended to apply the drug for half an hour before each feeding (not more often 4 times a day) in dosage: 1 drop in each nasal passage;
- for infants of preschool age (from one to five years), the drug should be administered according to the scheme: two drops of Adranol in each of the nasal passages three times a day;
- for children over the age of five, the drug is administered four times a day, three drops in each of the nasal passages.
In addition, it is worth considering the fact that, like any drops, Adranol for children can be addictive, so it is not recommended to continuously use it for more than a week.
Side effects and contraindications
If you carefully study the instructions, Adrianol for children can not be used if the child has an allergy to the components of the medicine, and if there are the following diseases:
- arthrophic rhinitis;
- kidney pathology;
- glaucoma;
- pheochromocytoma;
- arterial hypertension;
- thyrotoxicosis;
- IHD.
In addition, as with any drops in the nose, Adranol for children in the manual spelled out side effects. Taking this medication can cause itching, burning, soreness of the mucous membranes of the nose and its dryness. If these symptoms manifest, stop using the drops, and, if possible, consult a doctor for advice.
In summary, I want to note that any drug should be prescribed by a doctor. But if there is no possibility to visit him and a decision is made to treat the child on his own, then it is necessary to follow the symptoms of the course of the disease and take drops at the dosage recommended to your baby by age.
