Solution preparation
Inhalation with "Furacilin" nebulizer allows you to make the procedure quite easy and simple in execution technique. However, each patient needs to know the basic rules for preparing the solution. Doctors strongly advise using it with a concentration of 0.24% in an amount of 5 ml. Keeping this proportion is very important. It is impossible to buy a medicine with such a concentration in a pharmacy, the medicine is prepared only by prescription. When ordering the drug, it is necessary to pay the attention of the pharmacist that the medicine should be made without the use of saline. That is, you should buy a clean medication.
Saline solution is used to dilute most drugs intended for the treatment of respiratory pathologies, but not Furacilin. This is one of the features of the drug.
In addition, you can make a solution for inhalation at home, if there is no possibility of acquiring a prescription drug. To prepare it, you will need half a glass of preheated water and one tablet of Furacilin. Water should be heated to approximately 40 degrees. It is important to prepare the solution under sterile conditions. Stir the solution until the sediment at the bottom of the container disappears completely.
The prepared furatsilinovy solution should be infused for 12 hours, placing it in a dark place. In order to carry out inhalation, it is necessary to use the most pure medicinal composition, therefore it is important to mix it several times before starting the procedure. You can also use gauze to clean and filter the product.

Also, the tool remains effective for 2.5 months if stored in a refrigerator. If the solution is prepared using water, then it should be used in the next day.
Rules for inhalation
Inhalations with "Furacilin" in order to get rid of a cold are already a traditional means of treating respiratory pathologies. A similar procedure can be carried out both in the treatment of a child and an adult. There are no contraindications for age. In addition, for patients of all categories, the same dose of the drug is used - 3-4 ml of furacilin solution, which is poured into a nebulizer.
Only in some cases, a decrease in dosage is indicated in the treatment of children. Pediatricians advise to do this primarily in cases where the child is first inhaled. This is due to the fact that the medicine used for the first time can provoke the development of negative symptoms.
When carrying out inhalation with "Furacilin" it is important to adhere to a number of rules:
- Before furatsilinovy solution is poured into the inhaler, it must be stored in a sterile container, for example, in syringes.
- Do not fill the nebulizer with a large amount of medicine. For one procedure, only 3-4 ml of solution is required. This dosage is relevant for patients of all ages.
- During inhalation, breathe evenly and slowly.
- If rhinitis or other nasal disease is being treated, it is important to inhale the medicine with the nose, and exhale with the mouth. If inhalation is carried out with the aim of treating respiratory pathologies of the lungs, bronchi, and throat, then inhale the drug vapors with the mouth, and exhale with the nose.
- Before using a nebulizer, make sure that there are no previous inhalation solutions left in it.
- Children, whose inhalation is carried out for the first time, can negatively perceive the medicine. Therefore, it is recommended for the first procedure to reduce the dose of furacilin solution to 2 ml.
Recently, inhalation with the help of nebulizers has gained great popularity. Such procedures replaced the standard inhalation of drugs over a heated solution container. This is due to the low efficiency of such procedures. Steam is not able to deliver the drug to the lower parts of the respiratory system, while the use of a nebulizer allows the drug to penetrate into the localization zones of pathogens.
