This is a local hormonal drug that is used for allergic rhinitis, sinusitis, and also in children in combination with other drugs in the treatment of adenoids.
Spray Avamys, an analogue of Flixonase, is also produced in the UK, and its composition is similar. Both drugs are used for allergic rhinitis.
Avamis is available only in the form of a spray. It is a suspension consisting of suspended small solid particles dissolved in water. “Avamis” nose drops, contrary to popular belief, do not exist. This medicine can not be instilled into the nose - the spray is sprayed on its mucosa. When using the drug, it is important to use it correctly so as not to get an undesirable effect.
Since this product is not a clear solution, but a white suspension, before each use it is necessary to clean the dispenser opening, check the degree of spraying and be sure to clean the nose of accumulated mucus. Then you should shake the bottle, remove the cap from it, tilt your head down and forward and in an upright position, holding the bottle in your hands, do the injection. The jet is directed to the outside of the nasal cavity, and not to the septum. It is impossible to inhale during irrigation; inhalation must be done before injecting the medicine.
Aerosol Avamis, an analogue of Beclomethasone and the Czech drug Nasobek, which is used more often in adult practice for the treatment of hay fever and allergic rhinitis, is also used in pediatrics. Its mechanism of action is quite simple.
When the active substance of the drug enters the mucosal receptors, a blockage occurs, and the patient's body does not respond to external allergens. During irrigation, the solution enters both the sinuses and deep folds of the nasal mucosa, relieving swelling and inflammation in them. It is excreted through the liver and intestines, therefore, it has a number of contraindications.
Do not be afraid that the drug is based on an active substance close to corticosteroids. But you must remember that to select the right dosage, hormones in the form of tablets, injections or ointments are also taken into account. Avamis spray cannot be used if a person has fragile vessels in the nose and is prone to bleeding.
It is undesirable to use a spray for mucosal wounds, after surgery on the ENT organs, as well as pregnant women and young children. With caution, it is necessary to apply the spray to patients who have liver problems.
Avamis, an analogue of the Erius preparation (USA), must be used very carefully and monitored so that it does not get into the eyes. But the preparation "Erius", which is available in the form of drops and tablets, in turn, in addition to eliminating coughing and sneezing, perfectly treats allergic conjunctivitis and relieves itching in the eyes.
Children under 3 years of age should not use Avamis spray to prevent liquid from entering the ear cavity, which is located anatomically next to the nasal cavity. In addition, babies do not know how to hold their breath, and when irrigated, the solution can enter the trachea or esophagus. Yes, and this drug can upset the hormonal balance in infants, which are still imperfect.
It’s naive to expect that Avamis drops will cope with adenoids or treat sinusitis on their own, without an integrated approach. They free nasal passages from edema, provide access for ENT manipulations, relieve inflammation, but do not eliminate the cause of these diseases. Sinusitis is treated with antibiotics, and this must be remembered.
If Avamis, an analogue of the Russian medicine Mometasone, is available only in the form of a spray in bottles with a dispenser, then the domestic drug is found, in addition to aerosol, in the form of lotion, cream or ointment. Therefore, the agent "Momatazon" is used in the treatment of acne, dermatitis, psoriasis, neurodermatitis and other skin diseases of an allergic nature.
As you can see, the analogues of Avamis have enough, but they are used much more widely and are available in different dosage forms.
