Grippostad Rino spray nasal solution 0.1% 10 ml — Made in Germany — Free Deliver

Pharmacological properties

Pharmacodynamics. Xylometazoline is an imidazoline derivative, an α-adrenergic sympathomimetic. directly excites α-adrenergic receptors and vasoconstriction. When applied topically, it reduces swelling of the nasopharyngeal mucosa and hyperemia. Restores patency of the nasal passages and facilitates nasal breathing by decongesting the mucous membrane and improving drainage of secretions.

The preparation begins to act in 5-10 minutes, and the effect lasts for several hours (on average 6-8 hours).

With intranasal administration, the amount of the agent that is absorbed can sometimes be sufficient to develop systemic effects, for example, from the central nervous system and the cardiovascular system.

Pharmacokinetics. When applied topically, xylometazoline in blood plasma is practically undetectable (plasma concentration is below the definition limit).

Indications

Swelling of the nasal mucosa in case of colds and rhinorrhea with a large amount of liquid mucus (vasomotor rhinitis), allergic rhinitis.

Application

Grippostad Rino is intended for nasal administration.

Grippostad Rino 0.05% nasal drops. Children aged 1 to 5 years (under the supervision of adults) 1-2 drops in each nasal passage up to 1-2 times a day if necessary, but no more than 3 times a day.

Special instructions

During treatment with the preparation, some side effects (especially shortness of breath) may occur. avoid overdose.

The preservative contained in the preparation (benzalkonium chloride) can, especially with prolonged use, cause swelling of the nasal mucosa. If such a reaction is suspected (for example, continuous accumulation of mucus in the nasal passages), nasal preparations that do not contain preservatives should be used.

Grippostad Rino can be used by carefully weighing the benefits of the expected benefits over the possible development of undesirable effects in the following cases:

• in patients treated with MAO inhibitors or other preparations with a suspected hypertensive effect;
• increased intraocular pressure, especially angle-closure glaucoma;
• some cardiovascular diseases (for example, ischemic heart disease, arterial hypertension);
• pheochromocytoma;
• metabolic disorders (eg hyperthyroidism, diabetes mellitus);
• porphyria;
• hyperplasia of the prostate gland.

Patients who often have colds can only use Grippostad Rino under medical supervision due to the risk of thinning of the nasal mucosa.

With prolonged use or overdose, reactive hyperemia and repeated accumulation of mucus in the nasal passages may occur, which causes a narrowing of the airways, in the case of constant use of the preparation, it can lead to chronic accumulation of mucus in the nose (rhinitis medicamentosa) and even to atrophy of the nasal mucosa.

In mild cases, you can stop using the sympathomimetic in one nasal passage until the above symptoms disappear in order to maintain part of the nasal breathing.

Use during pregnancy and lactation. The preparation should not be used during pregnancy.

Due to the lack of data on whether the active substance is excreted in breast milk, the preparation should not be used during breastfeeding.

Children. Grippostad Rino 0.05% nasal drops should not be used in children under 1 year of age. Use in children aged 1 to 11 years is recommended only under adult supervision.

Do not use Grippostad Rino 0.1% nasal drops and Grippostad Rino 0.1% nasal spray in children under 12 years of age.

The ability to influence the reaction rate when driving or working with other mechanisms. Long-term use or use in high doses of cold remedies containing xylometazoline does not exclude the effect on the cardiovascular system. In this case, the ability to drive vehicles and work with precision instruments is also reduced.

Interactions

May enhance the effect of sympathomimetics and reduce the effect of preparations that suppress sympathetic nerves. when used with β-adrenergic receptor blockers, it can cause bronchial spasm or decrease in blood pressure. when used together with tricyclic or tetracyclic antidepressants, an increase in the systemic action of xylometazoline is not excluded. use in parallel with MAO inhibitors is contraindicated.

Overdose

Overdose or accidental oral use can lead to the following symptoms: dilated pupils (mydriasis), nausea, cyanosis, fever, increased fatigue, increased sweating, pallor, peripheral vasoconstriction, convulsions, disorders of the cardiovascular system (tachycardia, arrhythmia, ag ), asystole, impaired lung function (pulmonary edema, respiratory disorders), mental impairment, drowsiness, decreased body temperature, cold extremities, decreased heart rate, shock-like decrease in blood pressure, apnea.

In case of severe overdose, especially in children (for example, if high doses of the preparation are accidentally swallowed), the stages of stimulation and depression of the central nervous system and the cardiovascular system may alternate. Symptoms of central nervous system stimulation can include anxiety, agitation, hallucinations and, in severe cases, seizures. Symptoms of depression of the central nervous system can be a decrease in body temperature, lethargy, drowsiness and, in severe cases, the development of a coma.

Treatment: in case of complications arising from an overdose, patients should undergo intensive therapy: urgently apply activated charcoal (absorbent), sodium sulfate (laxative) or wash the stomach, ventilate the lungs.
