Reviews of "Sialor Reno" indicate that the spray is more often prescribed for adolescents and adults. For the treatment of young children, spray is not recommended due to the high vulnerability of the mucous membranes. It is better for babies up to a year to buy nasal drops.

Mechanism of action

Sialor Reno is an adrenergic agonist. The drug targets the adrenergic receptors of the nasal cavity, causing certain changes:

  • Narrows blood vessels and reduces their permeability.
  • Eliminates swelling of the nasal mucosa.

Contact with the conjunctiva reduces swelling, which allows the use of this drug in the treatment of eye inflammation.

According to reviews, Sialor Reno copes quite well with its task. The effect of the use of drops or spray is noted after 15 minutes and lasts for 6-8 hours. The spray works faster: positive changes are noticeable after 5 minutes and last up to 8 hours.

After the drug enters the mucosa, the unpleasant symptoms of the disease are eliminated. Nasal congestion goes away, sneezing and rhinorrhea decrease. The drug is also effective in the treatment of conjunctivitis. "Sialor Rino" eliminates congestion in the nasal passages, which reduces lacrimation and significantly improves the patient's condition.

  • difficulty in nasal breathing with a runny nose against a background of various infectious diseases;

Important aspects

“Sialor Rino” is available at the pharmacy without a prescription, but this does not mean that you can use it uncontrollably at any time. Without consulting a doctor, you can use Sialor Reno for no more than three consecutive days. If the condition does not improve over the specified time, you need to consult a doctor and clarify the possibility of further use of vasoconstrictor drops or spray. The total duration of therapy should not be more than 7 days.

When using the drug, several aspects should be considered:

  1. Oxymethazoline when instilled into the eyes temporarily reduces vision. It is not recommended to drive a car during treatment (30 minutes after using the medicine).
  2. Several vasoconstrictors should not be used simultaneously: this increases the risk of side effects.
  3. Oxymetazoline slows down the absorption of local anesthetics, therefore, their combined use is not recommended. You should wait for the interval between the introduction of drugs (at least 15 minutes).

Numerous positive reviews about Sialor Reno make this drug one of the best among vasoconstrictors. The forums note the quick effect of the drug, a mild effect on the mucous membranes, which is especially important in the treatment of colds in children. It is noted that the use of the drug is rarely accompanied by adverse reactions. Side effects occur mainly against the background of long-term treatment with oxymetazoline, as well as when the dosage indicated in the instructions is exceeded.
