Preparations "Nazol Kids" and "Nazol Baby" are remedies for the treatment of the common cold, which were created specifically for children. Thanks to phenylephrine, these cold medicines are well tolerated by children from the very first days of their lives, since during their creation all the structural features of the vessels in the nasal cavity in babies were taken into account. This is how they differ from other cold remedies for children.
The drug "Nazol Baby" can be used to treat rhinitis in babies from the first days of their lives. Due to the fact that it is produced in a special bottle, you do not need to use various dosing devices and pipettes. This is very convenient, because they can harm the baby's nasal mucosa.
But the medicine "Nazol Kids" was developed for children from 6 years old and is already available in the form of a spray. It contains eucalyptus, which has a good bactericidal and anti-inflammatory effect.
Medication "Nazol Baby"is a drug for topical use, in addition, it has a fairly pronounced adrenomimetic activity. This drug has a vasoconstrictive effect, so that nasal breathing during a runny nose becomes much easier, and your baby can enjoy a night's sleep. Also, the drug helps to eliminate swelling of the nasal mucosa, Eustachian tube and paranasal sinuses.
In addition to phenylephrine, Nazol Baby contains glycerin, which moisturizes the nasal mucosa without affecting its function. The action of this drug is due to the ability of phenylephrine hydrochloride to have a stimulating effect on alpha1-adrenergic receptors located in the smooth muscle layer of the nasal mucosa, due to which vasoconstriction occurs and swelling of the baby's nasal cavity is stopped.
When used topically, phenylephrine hydrochloride is not absorbed into the bloodstream. The therapeutic effect of this drug occurs 3 minutes after its use and lasts for 6 hours. The complete disappearance of rhinitis occurs approximately 3 days after the start of the drug.
