Some people suffer from allergic reactions, the symptoms of which are manifested in very severe form, presenting a threat to life in the form of an edema of the airways, a dangerous increase in body temperature. In addition, there are abundant skin rashes with extensive lesions of the epidermis with purulent elements. In such cases, allergy pricks are used, which can instantly eliminate the signs of the disease and stop the inflammatory processes.
Nyxes against allergies
Injectable preparations exist in 2 variations: with and without hormones.
The first type of medication is based on the action of corticosteroids, which are considered synthetic analogues of substances produced by the adrenal cortex. Hormonal injections for allergies are never prescribed for course treatment, as they cause many side effects, disrupt the functioning of the endocrine and digestive systems of the body. As a rule, such drugs are used once, if necessary, urgently to stop the symptoms of the disease:
- laryngeal edema ;
- a sharp drop in blood pressure;
- shock states.
Ordinary shots from skin allergies and other non-life threatening signs of pathology contain the same components as tablets. Their use is advisable if there is no possibility to take the medicine orally. Moreover, allergic reactions cause deterioration of blood circulation in the body, therefore, the process of absorption of any substances in the intestine slows down. Therefore, sometimes doctors advise to fight with ailments through injections, allowing to transport the active components immediately into the bloodstream.
Names of injections of allergies
The most effective modern medicines recognized such names:
- Tavegil ;
- Suprastin;
- Dimedrol.
Also, solutions that significantly reduce the response of the immune system to contact with the stimulus are used:
- calcium gluconate;
- sodium bromide;
- calcium chloride;
- ascorbic acid.
At the expressed intoxication of an organism various sorbents and the substances normalizing structure of a blood are recommended:
- glucose;
- Rheosorbylact;
- saline.
Hormonal injections from allergies - Dexamethasone, Diprospan, Prednisolone and Hydrocortisone are developed on the basis of glucocorticosteroids in a rapidly releasing form. Due to this property, the listed products immediately after the injection relieve the symptoms of the disease, and the result persists for 36-72 hours.
Allergy treatment with injections
A method of desensitization or specific immunological therapy is becoming more widespread.
The essence of the method is similar to vaccinations: the body periodically injects a substance that induces the reaction of immune cells, beginning with very small dosages with a gradual increase in concentration. Subsequently, the protective system becomes accustomed to the presence of histamine in the blood, and the intensity of allergic manifestations decreases. Treatment is done for a long time, for several years,
As practice shows, the described technique helps in 85% of cases, but this technology is used only in those situations when there are no preventive measures against allergies.
It should be noted that specific immunotherapy is a rather laborious process. It is necessary to visit a specialist on a regular basis, and also to stay in the clinic for an hour and a half after the injection, so that the doctor can register all changes and reactions of the body to the injection.
