Acute and
chronic sinusitis, sinusitis and other diseases of the nasopharynx are indications for the appointment of the Sinupret herbal preparation. Analogues of the drug also contribute to the discharge of viscous secretions and relieve swelling and inflammation of the
sinuses.The drug "Sinupret": release form and application
This is a combination agent containing biologically active substances of secretolytic, secretomotor and anti-inflammatory effects. Available in the form of tablets, dragees and aqueous-alcoholic extract. It is recommended for complex treatment in combination with antibiotics.
Drops are rightfully considered the most effective, but in some cases the alcohol content does not allow this form to be prescribed, and other forms of Sinupret are preferable - tablets, an analogue without alcohol. The reason for contraindications is primarily pregnancy, lactation, childhood, liver disease, alcoholism, epilepsy.
Sinupret medicine: analogues
The choice of the analogue of any medication is due to a number of reasons: allergic reactions to some components, price, lack of the desired drug in pharmacies, and so on. It is important that the drug substitute has the same pharmacological action as the main one.
As for the Sinupret drug, analogues of this medicine in the pharmacy network can be found in both Russian and foreign production. It will be useful to get acquainted with brief characteristics of drugs that can be used for diseases of the maxillary sinuses and upper respiratory tract.
Sinuforte nasal spray based on cyclamen extract gets good reviews. It is often recommended for the same symptoms as Sinupret. Analogs, however, can be perceived by patients in different ways. So, “Sinuforte” spray differs in almost instant action. He literally “breaks through” the blocked nasal passages, and an abundant discharge of mucus and pus from the sinuses begins . The effect is quite unpleasant and can last up to an hour, after which a comfortable state and normal breathing return. The disadvantage of this tool is the high price - from 1200 rubles and above. This is much more expensive than Sinupret.
Analogs for washing the nose
There are a number of drugs in the form of a liquid that help discharge purulent and mucous secretions from the sinuses and relieve swelling of the mucosa and inflammation. The Dolphin remedy has very good characteristics. In pharmacies, it is sold in a set of metered and packaged granules based on sea salt (30 sachets) and a bottle with a nozzle for washing the nose. It is recommended to rinse the nasal passages with a warm solution of the drug 2-3 times a day for allergic and acute rhinitis, rhinosinusitis, sinusitis. After the procedure, significant breathing relief occurs. What is still pleasant - about the same price as Sinupret. An analogue with a refillable bottle costs 300-350 rubles.
The “No-salt”, “Aqua-master” means have the same effect. Another analogue - Zinnabsin tablets - is recommended for long-term course treatment of chronic forms of sinusitis and frontal sinusitis.
Whatever the drug analogue is, it is unacceptable to make a decision on treatment on your own. All appointments should be made by a doctor, taking into account the compatibility of drugs and their components, as well as the individual characteristics of each patient.
