As you know, nobody likes to hurt. It is especially unpleasant when your child catches a cold or gets the flu. One of the well-proven remedies for fighting respiratory viral infections is Grippferon Drops. For children, they are as effective and safe as for adults. This drug will be discussed further.
Why it is possible to use the preparation "Grippferon" for children
According to studies conducted by several research institutes in Russia and Ukraine, this drug is highly effective for both children and adults. The use of Grippferon drops improves the condition of patients and speeds up the healing process. Moreover, it can be used even in the treatment of infants, under the age of one year.
The composition of this drug includes human interferon, which makes the cell walls of our body impervious to viruses. In addition, this element helps to suppress protein synthesis in already infected cells. Also, the use of these drops can reduce the number of medications needed to fight a respiratory infection, and reduce the risk of complications after an illness.
If you go to the pharmacy to buy the Grippferon drug for children, the price of it can be unpleasantly surprising. After all, one bottle of this tool costs more than 200 rubles. And if you take into account the fact that the open vial can be stored only for 30 days, then the price of this medicine seems even higher.
We use nasal drops "Grippferon" for children: instructions
Since the dosage and duration of administration of this drug directly depends both on the patient's age and on the recommendations (treatment or prevention of the disease), it should be prescribed exclusively by a qualified doctor.
In general, with the symptoms of colds and flu, children over the age of three are prescribed instillation of two drops in each nasal passage three times a day. A child from three to fourteen years old will most likely be prescribed two drops four times a day. After instillation, it is necessary to massage the wings of the nose with your fingers so that the drug is evenly distributed. As for the duration of use of the medicine, it should not exceed five days.
Indications and contraindications for taking the drug "Grippferon"
In general, this drug is safe and highly effective. It is prescribed, as a rule, for the prevention and treatment of colds and flu for both children and adults.
As for contraindications, drops of "Grippferon" should not be taken if the patient has intolerance to interferon preparations. In addition, it is undesirable to use this drug with existing severe forms of allergic diseases.
It is also undesirable to combine the use of the preparation “Grippferon” with the use of other intranasal agents with a vasoconstrictor effect, as this can lead to drying of the nasal mucosa.
