Nasal congestion during demi-seasonal diseases is considered a particularly urgent problem. To restore normal breathing, most people begin to use all sorts of medications. One of the effective drugs is "Milt" (drops). The instruction recommends using a nasal remedy to eliminate the symptoms of a cold and allergic rhinitis. Let's take a closer look at the features and method of using nasal drops.
Medicine description
Rhinitis delivers a lot of discomfort and is the most common pathological symptom. Inflammation and swelling of the mucous surface of the nasal cavity can develop against the background of SARS, a bacterial infection, or when an allergen enters. It is customary to treat this condition with topical agents - drops and sprays. It should be borne in mind that you can use certain drugs on your own for no more than 5 days.
"Milt" (drops) instructions for use refers to topical vasoconstrictor drugs. This is a combined remedywhich has several components at once - dimethindene and phenylephrine. The latter substance belongs to the category of selective a-agonists and has a moderate vasoconstrictor effect. It is used as a nasal decongestant. Dimentidene is an H1 receptor antagonist and has an antiallergic effect.
The nasal drug helps to significantly reduce the amount of discharge from the nasal passages and does not inhibit the physiological functions of the ciliated epithelium and the mucous surface. The product is available in 10 ml glass bottles and has a convenient pipette dispenser.
Indications for use
The Ukrainian drug "Milt" (drops in the nose) is positioned by the instruction as a fast-acting remedy with an almost instant therapeutic effect. Just a few minutes after application, they make it easier to breathe through the nose. However, it should be remembered that long-term use of such drugs is highly recommended. Otherwise, addiction to the active substances may occur. In addition, nasal vasoconstrictor drops do not treat the true cause of the common cold, but only help to stop the unpleasant symptoms of the disease.
To eliminate the signs of allergic rhinitis, nasal congestion, acute, chronic and vasomotor rhinitis, specialists can prescribe the drug "Milt". Drops instruction (children's and adult doses are somewhat different) recommends using in the complex therapy of acute otitis media. This helps to reduceswelling of the Eustachian tube. In this case, the medicine should also be used for no more than 5 days. The drug can be used in children under 1 year old only after prior consultation with a specialist.
"Milt" (drops): instructions
Children's doses of medicine depend on the age category of the child. For babies older than 12 months, a vasoconstrictor is prescribed 1 drop in each nasal passage no more than three times a day. In some cases, the dose may be increased to 2 drops.
Children from 6 years of age are allowed to instill 2-3 drops of medicine up to 4 times a day. The same dose of medication is intended for adult patients. According to the instructions, Milt drops can be used for 7 days, after which you should take a break. In addition to vasoconstrictor drops, other means are also used to treat nasal congestion.
How is the medication tolerated?
A significant advantage is the absence of serious side effects on the background of the use of the drug "Milt". Drops in the nose instruction recommends the use strictly in the appropriate age dosage. When treating with a medication, only in rare cases, unpleasant sensations may occur - burning, increased dryness of the mucous surface.
Prolonged use of drops usually contributes to the development of serious drug dependence. The pathological phenomenon is associated with addiction to vasoconstrictor components. Vessels located in the nasal cavity cease to narrow over time without the help of drugs, which leads to the need to increase the dosemedicines and their continuous use. This can provoke the development of vasomotor rhinitis and atrophy of the mucous membrane.
Contraindications
Not all patients with nasal congestion can use Milt to relieve symptoms. Drops instruction prohibits prescribing in case of intolerance to the components that are part of the drug. A nasal remedy is not used for atrophic rhinitis and in the case of treatment with MAO inhibitors.
Vasoconstrictive nasal drops should not normally be used during pregnancy. However, "Milt" can be prescribed in the minimum dosage only strictly according to indications.
What to choose - "Vibrocil" or "Milt" (drops)?
Instructions, the composition of medicines have a lot in common. Both drugs are designed to constrict blood vessels with a runny nose and nasal congestion. The drug "Vibrocil", as well as "Milt", has two active ingredients - the antihistamine substance dimethinden and the adrenoimetic phenylephrine.
The main difference between drugs is the price. The cost of a Swiss nasal remedy ranges from 280-320 rubles per bottle. While for an analogue you will have to pay no more than 140 rubles. It is worth paying attention to the shelf life of medicines after opening the vials.
