One of the most effective methods in the fight against colds, such as a runny nose and cough, is considered to be inhalation. It is about this method that we will talk in our article.
For some forms of disease, inhalation with dioxidine is considered the most preferred treatment option. For this procedure, it is best to use a solution with a concentration of 1% or 0.5%.
Description
Dioxidine itself is a potent drug. It can adversely affect the work of the kidneys and adrenal glands, as well as interfere with the development of healthy cells.
For this reason, before using this solution for inhalation, it is best to consult a doctor. For pregnant women, for example, it is strictly forbidden to carry out any procedures using this drug.
Act
The antibacterial effect of dioxidine has a killing effect on bacteria:
- salmonella;
- vulgar protea;
- staphylococcus;
- streptococcus;
- anaerobes (also on clostridia);
- Pseudomonas aeruginosa;
- dysenteric stick.
An important point to consider is that the drug acts only on bacteria, but it is harmless to viruses and other harmful microorganisms.
Indications
Inhalation with dioxidine is generally prescribed only if the course of the disease is very difficult and other pharmaceuticals do not help with the pathologies that have arisen. Such diseases include:
- bronchial infections, when there is a accumulation of exudate;
- pneumonia;
- empyema of pleura (purulent pleurisy).
Inhalation through a nebulizer
A few years ago, inhalations were carried out using decoctions of medicinal plants. Today, blankets and pans can be put aside, and instead use a nebulizer. This is a very convenient device.
Before starting inhalation with dioxidine through a nebulizer, you should purchase a solution of this drug, as well as saline.
Overdose
Do not ignore compliance with the recommended dosage, as this can lead to an overdose, as a result of which a person can be poisoned. Signs of such consequences may include:
- nausea;
vomiting
diarrhea
- dizziness;
- headache, accompanied by temperature;
- darkening in the eyes;
- muscle weakness;
- the occurrence of seizures;
- pigment spots appear on the skin.
If the slightest of the above signs are manifested, you need to urgently consult a doctor.
Dosage and proportions
When inhalation with dioxidine is required for treatment, the proportion should be as follows:
- for adults - 1% dioxidine solution and saline - 1: 4;
- for children - 0.5% - 1: 2.
For one inhalation, 4 milligrams (you can no longer!) Of the finished dioxidine solution with saline solution will be required . In the course of treatment, several procedures are necessary. No more than 8 milliliters of this drug can be used per day.
How does the drug work?
Inhalation with dioxidine acts as follows:
- positively affects the inflammatory focus and the infectious process ;
- the procedure itself is easily susceptible to both adults and children;
- antibiotic consumption is much more economical;
- this process significantly reduces the adverse effect of dioxidine on the kidneys and adrenal glands.
When the patient carries out these procedures, it was noticed that the disease, which proceeds in a severe form, goes much faster. Already after 10 inhalations, the resulting pathology begins to pass.
Doing such a procedure at home, you need to find out the correct dosage and not ignore its use.
The solution of dioxidine is used due to the fact that it destroys purulent sticks, vulgar proteas, as well as many other bacteria with its properties. Despite the fact that it became the causative agent of the inflammatory (or infectious) process, the use of inhalations with this drug always has a positive effect on the respiratory system. If you adhere to the correct dosage, then as a result of side effects, it is not noticed, and there is also no addiction to the drug.
For children
Any inhalation for a child who is less than two years old can harm his health, as there is a high probability that a burn may form.
When inhaled with dioxidine, dosage is very important for children. If you use a 1% solution of the drug, then you should add three parts of saline to it. How to apply 0.5% dioxidine? It must be dissolved with saline in a ratio of 1: 1.
One procedure will require up to four milliliters of the resulting solution, but in no case can you use more.
The liquid composition, which is obtained from a solution of dioxidine and saline, is suitable for use only during the day. Further use is dangerous to health. Do such inhalations when a strong cough, you need a maximum of a couple of times a day. Before use, be sure to make a test on the tolerance of the drug to the child's body.

- empyema (purulent pleurisy);
- tracheitis;
- bronchitis;
- lung abscesses;
- chronic rhinitis and inflammatory processes in the sinuses.
The doctor prescribes this treatment when the bacterial inflammatory process drags on for a very long time and other antibiotics in this situation are powerless.

Opinion of people
What say people who have tried inhalation with dioxidine? They leave different reviews.
It helped some, others are disappointed. But many people say that when treating with this method, you should always coordinate actions with the doctor and do the procedures only under his supervision.
