Currently, almost every drug can be replaced by an analog. It is worth saying that the substitute can be absolute and relative. The first type includes funds that have exactly the same composition and effect on the patient's body. A relative analogue is a medication that has the same effect, but has a slightly different composition. This article will focus on the drug "Pinosol." An analogue of the drug will be presented to your attention.
Is there an absolute substitute for composition
Medication "Pinosol" analogues are relative. Such medicines have an original effect on the body. However, the composition of these drugs is very different. This medicine has no absolute analogue yet. That is, a drug with the same composition simply does not exist today.
It is worth noting that the Pinosol medication is available in the form of a spray, drops and ointment. Its substitutes have the appropriate form. Let's consider what analogues of Pinosol have.
The drug "Evacept"
This medication is available in the form of drops. Its similarity to the original drug is that both of them are based on natural oils. This includes peppermint, fir and many other beneficial substances. The drug "Pinosol", an analogue of "Evacept" have anti-inflammatory and antiseptic effects on the mucous membranes of the nasal passages. They fight infection by making breathing easier.
The analogue of “Pinosol” in Russia (“Evkasept”) is prescribed to patients much less frequently. All due to lack of popularity. However, its effectiveness is no lower than that of the original composition. The peculiarity of the medication is that it is not used for more than ten days, and is also not prescribed to persons prone to allergic reactions.
Medication "Pinovit"
What other drugs does Pinosol (drops) have? The next substitute for the original medicine can be called Pinovit. This medicine is also made on the basis of natural oils of pine, eucalyptus and other plants. This medication has anti-inflammatory, bactericidal and decongestant effects on the nasal mucous membranes. Unlike the composition of Eucacept, Pinovit is able to fight some types of bacteria. Due to this, it is prescribed to many patients who do not want to take antibiotics.
The medication is used for no more than one week. A feature of the use of the drug is that it must first be heated in the palm of your hand. Such manipulation makes the composition more fluid and convenient to use.
The composition of "Vicks Asset"
What else does Pinosol have? To some extent, this medicine can be replaced with Vicks compounds. They are made from similar components. Also, these medicines are in the form of an ointment and a spray in the nose, like the original medicine. Topical product is applied to the neck, chest and back. Thus, it greatly facilitates breathing, cures cough and warms up. A feature of its application is that the composition can not be used at temperature. Vicks Nasal Spray contains far fewer natural ingredients than Pinosol. However, it helps to facilitate breathing and reduce the amount of mucus that is secreted.
This analogue of "Pinosol" for children is used only after two years. If you use the drug earlier, then allergic reactions may develop. Vicks nose spray can only be used after six years. Before using these compounds, it is worth consulting with a specialist.
The drug "Rinofluimucil"
The peculiarity of the Pinosol medication is that it is able to thin the mucous discharge from the nose. So, the mucolytic effect is due to the components of the drug. The same effect on the patient has the drug "Rinofluimucil." It is rarely used as a substitute for the original drug. However, it copes very well with the task. The medication acts on the nasal mucosa and relieves swelling from it. It also liquefies thick secretions, including purulent ones. That is why the drug is prescribed for sinusitis, sinusitis and other pathologies.
A feature of the use of the drug is that it is not prescribed for children under one year of age. Up to three years, it must be used with extreme caution. The drug should not be injected into the nasal passages for more than seven consecutive days.
Viferon for the nose
What are the "Pinosol" (ointment) analogues? The medicine “Viferon” can become a substitute for the medicine. This is a nasal ointment that enhances the body's immune defenses. It is worth noting that this tool has absolutely no similarity in composition with the analogue. However, it also contributes to recovery through exposure of the nasal mucous membranes. The drug provokes the production of interferons in the body, which support the immune system. As a result, the body can cope with the infection on its own.
The drug "Viferon" in the form of ointment can be used for prophylactic purposes. It creates a film impervious to viruses and germs. Due to this, a person is not affected by pathogenic microorganisms.
Antimicrobial and antibacterial compounds
It has a pronounced anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effect of the drug Pinosol. An analogue of a medication with the same effect can be selected from Sialor, Protorgol, Isofra, Polydex, and so on. All of them are good antiseptics. The listed medicines have a bacteriostatic, and in large doses, bactericidal effect. It is worth noting that the first two medicines are usually issued in the form of drops. Whereas the latter preparations are in the form of a spray. Children under two years of age are contraindicated in spraying drugs into the nasal passages.
Pinosol's antibacterial and antimicrobial substitutes should be used only after consulting a doctor. Otherwise, there is a high probability of ineffective and incorrect treatment.
Vasoconstrictor formulations
If you can not use "Pinosol" (spray), analogues can be chosen among vasoconstrictor drugs. Such medicines include Vibrocil, Nazivin, Tizin, and many others. They do not have natural oils in which many patients develop an allergic reaction. However, the drug helps to narrow the vessels and facilitate breathing due to other active substances.
A feature of the use of such substitutes is that they should not be used for more than one week. Such prolonged therapy can cause complications. Replace the original with such means only after consulting a doctor.
Immunity enhancers
The medicine "Pinosol" is a very unique drug. Its essential essential oils contribute to strengthening the immune system and increasing the body's resistance. The drugs “Irs 19”, “Grippferon”, “Derinat” and others have the same effect. It is worth noting that in the other characteristics, these medicines can not replace the original medicine. However, their undoubted advantage is that they have antiviral activity.
Use such medications can be quite a long time. They are also used for preventive purposes. Perhaps the combined use of drugs. However, the scheme should be selected in each case. Independent combination of drugs is unacceptable.
