When the Sinuforte drug was just on sale, reviews of the manufacturer's company noted that this drug, despite its effectiveness, is as safe as possible. This is due to its plant origin. The main component of the Sinuforte pharmaceutical product is the extract and juice of European cyclamen.
pharmachologic effect
The action of this tool is aimed at treating diseases of the paranasal sinuses of an inflammatory nature. Once on the mucous membrane of the nose, the Sinuforte medicine immediately causes reflex secretion there. The reaction to the medication in the form of abundant purulent-mucous secretions lasts 30-60 minutes. During hypersecretion, an increase in the volume of inflammatory exudate with altered rheological properties occurs. The use of the Sinuforte medical device (drops) normalizes the viscosity of the exudate.
This medicine has a local decongestant effect. It is achieved due to dehydration of the mucous membrane after stimulation of the glandular formations of the nasal cavity. Reflex hypersecretion and decongestant action of the drug in the complex lead to an expansion of the anastomoses between the paranasal sinuses and the nasal cavity. This contributes to the easy discharge of serous-purulent sinus contents into the nasopharynx.
The reviews characterizing the Sinuforte drug indicate that under its action there is an intensive natural washing of all sinuses, and their ventilation is also improved. In addition, the medication also has a parasympathetic effect, as a result of which the blood microcirculation increases in the nasal mucosa and sinuses.
Indications
The drug is prescribed to patients with:
- Acute and chronic sinusitis (frontal sinusitis, catarrhal and purulent sinusitis, sphenoiditis, ethmoiditis, polysinusitis). It should be noted that with purulent sinusitis, which are accompanied by infection or orbital complications, this medicine should be taken in combination with antibiotics.
- As a rehabilitation therapy after endoscopic surgery (ethmoidotomy, sinusitis, maxillofacial sinusotomy). In this case, intranasal drug treatment is prescribed starting from the second day after the last operation to reduce swelling of the nasal mucosa and sinus drainage. Such actions can avoid traditional rehabilitation postoperative measures (such as, for example, washing of the sinuses and anemization).
Contraindications
Among the contraindications prohibiting the use of the pharmaceutical product "Sinuforte", note:
- Age less than 12 years (this is due to insufficient clinical data).
- Rhinosinusopathies of allergic origin.
- Polypo-cystic rhinosinusitis.
- II and III degree of arterial hypertension.

- Allergic reactions in the area of the nasal mucosa and face, which are acute.

Side effect
Some patients who took the drug "Sinuforte", reviews about it were left with a note of unwanted side effects. Most often, local reactions were found among them: redness of the face, salivation and lacrimation (in most cases, short-term), burning in the nasopharynx (it can be very weak or moderate). In isolated cases, people noted for themselves short headaches, staining in the pink color of the nose. Studying reviews about the Sinuforte pharmaceutical product, you can find out that all local reactions only confirm the local-reflex action of the drug, so you do not need to stop using it.
