Despite the variety of modern medications, from which literally shelves are crowded in pharmacies, many people remain adherents of time-tested and repeatedly tested medicines. This is exactly the case when a well-known old medicine appears in an updated, improved and convenient form, for example, the drug "Lugol" (spray). The instruction describes in detail in which cases the drug is most suitable, namely:
purulent otitis media, atrophic rhinitis, chronic form of tonsillitis;
varicose and trophic ulcers;
chemical and thermal burns of the I-II degree, both fresh and infected;
myalgia, various wounds and injuries;
infectious inflammatory skin lesions;
tertiary syphilis;
atherosclerosis, including measures to prevent it.

The procedure is performed in this way: when a finger presses on the atomizer head, it is necessary to take a breath before injecting the drug and hold your breath for several seconds. At the same time, it is important to ensure that the drug does not accidentally get into the eyes. In the event that this occurs, thorough washing with water or sodium thiosulfate solution is recommended .
Being one of the iodine preparations, the Lugol remedy (spray) - the instruction emphasizes this - in the case of proper use it is practically not able to cause any side effects. But nevertheless, it is necessary to strictly monitor the body's reaction to the drug and the duration of its use, since use for a long time can lead to irritation of the skin.
When an amount of iodine, significantly exceeding the norm, enters the body, this can cause diarrhea, excessive sweating, insomnia, nervousness, tachycardia, and allergies.

"Lugol" (spray for children). Drug Reviews
Numerous positive reviews were left by grateful parents, in most cases remembering how they themselves were treated in childhood with the usual Lugol solution. And it happened like this (for those who don’t know): it was necessary to dip a stick with a cotton wool wound on it, and it was with its help that the medicine was applied to the tonsils. This procedure most often caused vomiting, from which modern children are completely protected thanks to the new convenient form of medicine.

And this once again proves the high efficiency and convenient form of the drug “Lugol” (spray), which has repeatedly helped the parents, whose instruction for use was given above.
