Inhalation
So, aminocaproic acid is widely used in therapy. Instructions for use for inhalation include the following dosages: to prepare the composition, 2 mg of the drug should be combined with 2 mg of saline and placed in a nebulizer (some sources indicate the use of 4 mg of pure 5% aminocaproic acid in inhalations). Do not add any medication to the mixture.
To prepare the solution, it is best to use a sterile 5% ready-made solution. A preparation made from granules or powder will not be sterile. The solution can be bought in pharmacies both in ampoules and in packaging in bottles for droppers. This form is advantageous in that it is easy to dose - just measure the required dose of the medicine with a syringe.
How to do inhalation with aminocaproic acid? Treatment can be carried out at home with a nebulizer or in a physiotherapy room.

With each new procedure, a new ampule of the drug opens - this ensures the sterility of the procedure.

For children under 12 years of age, inhalations are prescribed once a day for 5 minutes for a period of not more than 5 days. For children over 12 years of age, the procedure can be increased up to two times. After three procedures, a noticeable improvement in the general condition of the patient is noted: nasal congestion, cough decreases, and the general condition improves.
Most people who have tried inhalation with aminocaproic acid in children claim that after three procedures, the manifestations of a runny nose and fever are reduced.
