Analogs

Instead of Sinupret, the following medications can be used:

1. Aflubin-nase is a homeopathic remedy that is available in the form of a nasal spray. It can be used for rhinitis of various origins, sinusitis, pharyngitis, eustachitis in patients over 12 years of age, including pregnant women and breastfeeding women.
2. Cinnabsin is a homeopathic drug that is a substitute for Sinupret in its pharmacological group. It is available in tablets, which are recommended for sinusitis in patients over 3 years of age. Cinnabsin can be used with caution during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
3. Rinitol Edas-131 is a homeopathic drug that belongs to the Sinupret substitutes in the pharmacological group. It is produced in nasal drops, which are contraindicated for persons under 18 years of age, since there is not enough experience in treating minor patients. They can be used during pregnancy and lactation.
4. Corysalia is a homeopathic remedy available in lozenges. It is a substitute for Sinupret in the therapeutic group. The drug can be used for runny nose in children over 1.5 years old, pregnant women and breastfeeding women.

Dosage forms

Sinupret is produced and sold in various forms:

• Tablet form. This is the most commonly prescribed type of drug. It can be used to treat adults and children over ten years of age. The tablets must be swallowed and washed down with water in the required volume, always in their entirety, without chewing.

For the treatment of particularly severe diseases, such as sinusitis and sinusitis, therapists prescribe Sinupret Forte, which contains a higher concentration of medicinal substances.

• The drip form is an alcohol setting used for oral administration. This type of drug is characterized by greater effectiveness compared to tablets. The drops are absorbed into the blood faster and begin to act. This form can only be prescribed to adults and children over 10 years of age due to the increased concentration of ethyl alcohol in the composition.

Attention! It is prohibited to instill drops into the nose, since the medicine does not have a local therapeutic effect; on the contrary, the alcohol in its composition can cause damage to the mucous membrane and inflammation.

• Syrup. Contains a lower concentration of alcohol and is allowed for pregnant women and small children.

Why is Sinupret more effective at the beginning of treatment?

In 2012, a study was conducted that included 95 children with acute rhinosinusitis less than 2 days old.
Absolutely all children had not previously received treatment with any mucolytic, antihistamine or antibiotic drugs. All subjects were prescribed vasoconstrictor drops, nasal rinsing with saline solution, and antiviral agents. In addition, 75 children were prescribed Sinupret in recommended dosages (from 2 to 6 years - in the form of drops, from 6 to 14 years - in the form of pills). According to the results of the study, in children receiving the drug Sinupret, a more significant therapeutic effect developed within 6 days after the start of the study. We advise you to study: Rhinorus is a vasoconstrictor drug that treats without drying out the mucous membrane

Modern research proves that bacterial rhinosinusitis develops against the background of a viral infection due to swelling of the mucous membrane and a decrease in the outflow of secretions from the paranasal sinuses. The use of Sinupret improves mucociliary clearance and helps prevent the development of bacterial sinusitis and avoid the use of antibiotics.

Operating principle

Sinupret is a herbal medicine. The therapeutic effect of plants in the composition of the product is manifested in a complex. The instructions describe the following properties of the medicine:

• secretion is regulated, mucus viscosity decreases;
• Sinupret counteracts tissue inflammation and reduces it;
• an immunomodulatory effect occurs;
• antiviral protection is provided: Sinupret inhibits the reproduction of various respiratory viruses, for example, influenza virus in form A, parainfluenza virus, etc.

As a result of the use of Sinupret, drainage and ventilation of the nasal sinuses are restored, nasal congestion decreases or disappears, and the protective function of the respiratory tract epithelium returns to normal. Thanks to the immunomodulatory and protective effect of Sinupret, the effectiveness of antibiotic therapy increases.

Reviews

Reviews of Sinupret can be called enthusiastic. Parents note that the drug is indispensable in the treatment of prolonged runny nose, sinusitis, and sinusitis. As a positive point, many users indicate the herbal composition and safety. And as a disadvantage they describe the high cost and the need for long-term use.

Masha writes that when using conventional remedies for the common cold, she was always afraid of damaging the nasal mucosa. But with Sinupret, she is not afraid of harming herself or the child. Masha considers Sinupret the safest and most reliable medicine for the treatment of inflammation in the sinuses.

Irina thinks that “side effects” are still possible due to the rich herbal composition, so the dosage should be strictly observed. The family “became acquainted with the drops” when the doctor prescribed Sinupret for her daughter’s rhinitis. A simply wonderful result for the woman was that by the second day of treatment, the baby’s snot started pouring out in streams, and by the third or fourth day the runny nose disappeared. The same effect was observed with subsequent sinusitis. In this case, the drug also helped remove unnecessary accumulations that interfere with breathing, relieved pain in the sinuses and restored the sense of smell. However, we additionally had to conduct a course of local antibacterial therapy using a spray—Polydex for children.—

Sveta believes that although the medicine tastes very nasty and it is difficult to persuade a child to take it, the result is worth it. She used Sinupret for adenoids in both of her children, trusting the positive reviews of the pediatrician. The children’s adenoids worsened in the fall, simultaneously with visits to a child care facility. Enlarged tonsils caused constant colds and tonsillitis, and nasal congestion. But after complex therapy, including Sinupret, nasal breathing returned to normal, and purulent discharge decreased. After completing the course, the doctor reported that the tonsils even decreased in size.

Anastasia gives a “plus” for herbal ingredients and a “minus” for the side effect in the form of an allergic cough. The doctor prescribed Sinupred to her 4-year-old daughter for a runny nose complicated by adenoids. However, after several doses, the girl developed a severe cough and had to stop taking it. Nastya attributes this reaction to individual intolerance.

Valentina was surprised by the unconventional approach of the manufacturer of Sinupret to the treatment of a runny nose: after all, they usually drop or splash something into the nose, rather than take the tincture orally. But already on the second day the effect became noticeable: severe congestion disappeared, the mucus became thinner and came out of the nose more easily. Valentina is confident that the use of Sinupret along with other treatment measures significantly accelerated her child’s recovery.

Overdose

In medical practice, there have been no clinical cases of overdose of Sinupret oral drops. Laboratory tests of the drug have shown that if the permissible dosage recommended by the manufacturer of the drug is exceeded, the following symptoms may appear:

• irritation of the oral mucosa, which is expressed in its redness and itching;
• development of rapid swelling of the larynx, which will lead to the onset of an extensive allergic reaction and cause an attack of suffocation;
• redness of the skin, the appearance of a red rash, localized on the surface of the abdomen, neck, upper limbs;
• heart rhythm disturbance, which is characterized by rapid heartbeat and sudden subsidence;
• attacks of spasmodic pain in the area of ​​the stomach and intestines;
• urge to urinate more frequently;
• diarrhea, which may not stop for 1-3 days;
• shortness of breath and feeling of lack of air.

After signs of an overdose of Sinupret drops appear, you should call an ambulance as soon as possible. Before the doctors arrive, you must take the sorbent drug.

This can be 6-8 tablets of Activated Carbon, 1 sachet of Atoxil or Smecta, 1 tbsp. l. Enterosgel. After the emergency doctor arrives, the severity of the patient is determined and a decision is made on hospitalization.

Video about runny nose

Pediatrician Evgeniy Komarovsky dedicated an entire episode of his television school to children’s runny nose and medications for it. Watch the video to understand this issue together with the studio guests.

Sinupret is a homeopathic medicine. And although, according to evidence-based medicine, the effectiveness of such remedies does not exceed the effect of ordinary self-hypnosis, many users on the Internet are ready to argue with the statements of doctors. Supporters of Sinupret justify their opinion by the fact that the drops are not a homeopathic, but a herbal medicine, and its effect is due to the activity of plant components. What do you think?
