Pharmacological properties
Pharmacodynamics
Naphazoline is a drug that stimulates the sympathetic nervous system and acts on adrenoreceptors, has a minimal effect on β-adrenoreceptors. Due to the vasoconstrictor effect, edema, hyperemia, and exudation are reduced, which facilitates nasal breathing in rhinitis. Naphazoline helps to open and expand the outlet ducts of the paranasal sinuses and Eustachian tubes, which improves the outflow of secretions and prevents the deposition of bacteria.
The therapeutic effect with intranasal use occurs within 5 minutes and lasts for 4-6 hours.
Pharmacokinetics
When applied topically, naphazoline is completely absorbed.
Indication
Acute rhinitis. As an adjuvant for inflammation of the paranasal sinuses and middle ear.
Contraindication
Hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any component of the drug. Dry inflammation of the nasal mucosa. Do not use in children under 15 years of age.
Interaction with other medicinal products and other types of interactions
The use of Sanorin simultaneously with MAO inhibitors, tricyclic antidepressants, maprotiline or within a few days after their withdrawal may cause an increase in blood pressure (even several days after use).
Application features
The drug should be used with great caution in severe diseases of the cardiovascular system (arterial hypertension, ischemic heart disease), diabetes mellitus, hyperthyroidism, pheochromocytoma, concomitant use of MAO inhibitors or other drugs that may have a hypertensive effect.
Caution is required during general anesthesia with anesthetics that increase myocardial sensitivity to sympathomimetics (e.g., halothane), as well as in bronchial asthma, as well as during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
When using large doses of the drug, the development of such side effects from the cardiovascular and nervous systems as palpitations, arterial hypertension, arrhythmia, headache, dizziness, drowsiness or insomnia is possible.
It is important to avoid long-term use and overdose, especially in children. Long-term use of medications intended to relieve nasal mucosal edema can lead to edema and subsequent atrophy of the nasal mucosa.
This medicine contains methylparaben which may cause allergic reactions (possibly delayed).
Ability to influence reaction speed when driving vehicles or other mechanisms
The use of the drug Sanorin in recommended doses has no or little effect on the ability to drive vehicles or use machines.
Use during pregnancy or breastfeeding
There is no data on the ability of naphazoline to penetrate the placental barrier or into breast milk. Therefore, before prescribing the drug to women during pregnancy or breastfeeding, all possible risks and benefits of treatment should be carefully considered, and the drug should be prescribed only if absolutely necessary.
Method of administration and doses
Adults and children over 15 years of age should use 1-3 irrigations in each nasal passage 3 times a day with an interval of at least 4 hours.
It is not recommended to use for longer than 3 days in children over 15 years of age and for longer than 5 days in adults.
If nasal breathing becomes easier, use can be stopped earlier.
Sanorin can be re-applied only after a few days.
Children
Apply to children over 15 years of age.
Overdose
Overdose or accidental ingestion of the drug may cause systemic side effects: nervousness, increased sweating, headache, tremor, tachycardia, palpitations, arterial hypertension. Cyanosis, nausea, fever, cramps, cardiac arrest, pulmonary edema, mental disorders, pale skin, heart attack may occur.
The depressing effect on the central nervous system is manifested by symptoms such as decreased body temperature, bradycardia, increased sweating, drowsiness, shock similar to hypotensive, apnea, coma. The risk of overdose increases in children, who are more vulnerable to negative effects than adults.
Treatment is symptomatic.
Adverse reactions
Only in rare cases does a systemic side effect occur (most often with overdose):
On the part of the immune system: allergic reactions, including angioedema, burning sensation.
From the nervous system: nervousness, headache, tremor.
From the side of the cardiac system: tachycardia, palpitations.
From the vascular system: arterial hypertension.
Skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders: increased sweating.
Prolonged (more than 5 days for adults and more than 3 days for children) or frequent use of the drug may lead to the development of addiction - sanorinism, which is accompanied by intense swelling of the nasal mucosa, which occurs after a relatively short period of time after use. Long-term use of the drug may lead to damage to the mucosal epithelium, inhibition of the activity of the epithelial cilia and cause irreversible damage to the mucosa and the development of dry rhinitis.
Expiration date
