Allergy is one of the pathological conditions of the human immune system, manifested by an increased reaction to individual substances. Their role can perform almost anything. Most often, allergens are plants, some foods, dust particles. Less commonly, these are chemical compounds found in powders, cosmetics, and even odors. Unfortunately, the frequency of hypersensitivity reactions increases every year. The most common symptoms of an allergy are: nasal congestion, runny nose, lacrimation, sneezing, and sometimes conjunctivitis. Typically, these reactions occur in the spring and autumn. At this time, people begin to stock up on medicines to get rid of the symptoms of hypersensitivity, one of them is the drug "Sanorin-Analergin." The medication not only suppresses the signs of allergies, but also contributes to the normal tolerance of the active substance (for example, pollen).
Pharmacological effects of the drug
The drug is combined, as it contains two active substances. One of them is naphazoline nitrate. Its action is to narrow the vessels of the nasal mucosa. Thanks to this, the edema decreases and breathing becomes easier. The second active ingredient is antazoline mesylate. It belongs to the group of antihistamines, due to which allergic and inflammatory reactions of the body are suppressed. As a result of a combination of two medicines, the Sanorin-Analergin medication has the properties of each of them. We can say that this drug has anti-inflammatory, vasoconstrictive and antihistamine effects.
Indications for use
Due to the fact that the drug is combined, it can be used not only as a spray to improve breathing, but also instilled into the eyes. Despite the fact that the drug “Sanorin-Analergin” is called, it is also used in the absence of a hypersensitivity reaction. Indications for the use of the medication are:
- Rhinitis is an inflammation of the nasal mucosa, resulting in unpleasant sensations, congestion and runny nose. In this case, it is necessary to acquire the intranasal form of the drug. Drops in the nose "Sanorin-Anallergin" quickly and efficiently remove the swelling of the mucous membrane, after which the condition improves significantly. They can be used not only for allergic forms of rhinitis, but also for nasal congestion of viral etiology.
- Conjunctivitis, an inflammation of the mucous membrane around the eyes, is also an indication for the use of Sanorin-Anallergin drops. But in this case, the drug is used not as the main drug, but as an additional medication. Due to its action, drops relieve inflammation and swelling of the conjunctiva.
Drug dosage
The drug is available in the form of drops, the package contains a rubber pipette for intranasal administration of the drug. To reduce nasal congestion and a runny nose, it is necessary to use the medication 3-4 times a day. The drug is injected with a pipette alternately into each nasal passage for 2-3 drops. If an allergic reaction is also manifested by conjunctivitis, then you can use the drug in the eyes. The frequency of use is the same as when instilled into the nose. When using the drug "Sanorin-Anallergin" for children, its dose is 1-2 drops in each nasal passage. Use of the medication is indicated for persons over 2 years of age. It is necessary to use the drug for no more than 7 days, if the symptoms persist for a longer period, then you need to take a break in the use of the drug.
Contraindications
The medication can not be used for diseases of the cardiovascular and endocrine systems in the stage of decompensation. The main contraindications are severe arterial hypertension, atherosclerosis, diabetes mellitus, hypothyroidism. Also, drops are not used in the chronic form of rhinitis, since their effectiveness decreases, and the prognosis of the disease does not tend to improve. One of the main contraindications is the hypersensitivity reaction to both the main and additional substances of the medication. The drug is undesirable to use with severe tachycardia. The interaction of this drug with MAO inhibitors is also a contraindication. The effect of drops on pregnant and lactating women has not been studied.
The drug "Sanorin-Anallergin": reviews of doctors and patients
According to doctors, a combination of substances from two pharmacological groups is successful for the treatment of pollinosis, allergic rhinitis and conjunctivitis. Patients note not only the disappearance of symptoms, but also the ability to tolerate the action of the allergen normally.

The drug "Sanorin-Anallergin": analogues
It is known that the medication is used in otolaryngology as a vasoconstrictor and anti-inflammatory agent. Therefore, it can be replaced with a drug containing one of the constituent active substances - drops "Naphazaline." Indications for use of an analogue are rhinitis of various etiologies. Despite the fact that the drug “Nafazolin” does not contain an antihistamine component, it can also be used in hypersensitivity reactions as a symptomatic therapeutic agent. In this case, in addition to drops, anti-allergic drugs should be used. The medication is available in 2 dosage forms. It should be remembered that Nafazolin drops have been used since 2 years, and spray since 15.
Another analogue is the well-known drug "Naphthyzin". It has the same active substance as the drug Nafazolin, so the indications for use and the mechanism of action of both are identical. The drug is used not only for difficulty breathing, but also as an anti-inflammatory agent for conjunctivitis. In this case, the dosage is reduced to 1-2 drops in each eye. Analogs are not inferior in effectiveness, but due to the lack of an antihistamine component, they have a low cost.
