Aminocaproic acid: tablets and drops, how to take

ACC (aminocaproic acid) or aminocapronka, as doctors affectionately call it, is a hemostatic agent. Simply put, this medicine protects bleeding, which is why it is assigned to the group of hemostatic and antihemorrhagic drugs. ACC has found wide application in surgical practice and other areas of medicine.

Thanks to the action of aminocapronka, blood clots dissolve, vascular permeability is normalized, and immune defense is increased. It is not without reason that since Soviet times, ACC has often been used in pediatric and general practice. Flu, colds and allergies, literally all respiratory infections, fell under its sphere of influence.

Now the pharmaceutical market is oversaturated with all kinds of drugs. Unfortunately, aminocaproic acid has been undeservedly relegated to the back shelves of pharmacies.

Possibilities of aminocaproic acid that many do not know about

Aminocapronka is a unique remedy, the advantage of which does not stop only at its antithrombotic (fibrinolytic) and hemostatic effect.
For some reason, only these properties are described in most instructions for using ACC.

This drug will be useful in otolaryngology. ACC strengthens blood vessels and reduces capillary fragility. Aminocapronka also exhibits a pronounced antiallergic effect.

How often during the flowering period, when hay fever rages, adults and children complain of stuffiness, itching in the nose and sneezing. I don’t want to constantly put drops in my nose, and they aren’t always cheap. Aminocaproic acid can help in such a situation and cope with allergy symptoms. It can be dripped into the nose or inhaled.

Local application quickly eliminates annoying itching, burning, leaking “water” (liquid, flowing snot). The patient sneezes less, appearance and general condition improves significantly. When using ACC, there are no side effects such as drying of the mucous membrane and constriction of blood vessels. This allows the drug to be widely used in patients with vascular disorders.

Scientific studies have confirmed that aminocaproic acid exhibits antiviral activity, and this makes it possible to have a comprehensive effect on respiratory infections. There is no need to buy antiviral drugs and cold medications separately.

This is interesting! Not everyone knows that aminocaproic acid can be used from birth. In maternity hospitals, ACC was and is used after gastric lavage. Some newborns, during childbirth, have swallowed amniotic fluid and vomit brownish vomit.

If this situation does not normalize on its own, the baby’s stomach is washed out using a special soft probe. At the end of the procedure, aminocapron is administered to reduce the likelihood of possible bleeding after the procedure.

How to perform inhalations correctly

Aminocapronka for inhalation is recommended for children and adults with severe diseases of the upper respiratory organs, as well as with lingering colds and bronchitis. To perform inhalations, take a sterile solution of aminocapron and saline solution. The dosage per inhalation is 2 ml of aminocaproic acid and the same volume of saline solution. Everything is poured into the nebulizer container and screwed tightly. You cannot add any other components to the prepared solution.

For the treatment of adults, the same dose of the drug is used. But the procedures can be performed 2 times a day. The duration of one procedure can be increased to 7 minutes.

Many patients who have already tried this treatment method note that their condition improves significantly after just 3 procedures. The intensity of cough decreases, nasal congestion disappears and even the temperature drops.

Instructions

Composition, release form and price

The drug is available in the form of powder and colorless solution.
A solution is used for inhalation treatment. Pharmacies sell bottles of 5% aminocaproic acid solution of 100 and 200 ml.

The drug is inexpensive, on average 50 rubles per 100 ml bottle (used for adults and children).

Because For one inhalation you need only 2 ml, such volumes are not profitable. The solution must be fresh each time. For example, in hospital settings, when at least 20 patients are treated in an inhalation unit per day, 100 ml solutions will come in handy.

At home, if you have a nebulizer, it is better to use special nebula containers. The Ukrainian manufacturer Yuria Pharm produces an ACC solution in the following form: 50 mg/ml container 2 or 5 ml, No. 10. This packaging costs about 150–200 rubles. Availability and price in Russian pharmacies need to be clarified.

Indications for use - for what diseases will ACC help?

The primacy in the use of aminocapron is occupied by the surgical profile.
During surgical interventions, you cannot do without such funds, because... There is always a potential risk of bleeding.

After surgical treatment, when the patient has stitches, they are treated with aminocaproic acid. This allows you to speed up the process of tissue regeneration. The second place in importance belongs to inhalations using ACC for ENT diseases. Indications – for what diseases and conditions is ACC inhalation performed?

Inhalations using aminocapronka will be effective in the following cases:

• influenza conditions accompanied by severe symptoms from the upper and lower parts of the respiratory system (cough, rhinitis, tracheitis, bronchitis, pneumonia). Treatment usually begins after the body temperature drops to 37 degrees;
• acute respiratory viral infections - hemostatic agent ACC is used for inflammatory processes of the nasopharynx and lower respiratory tract, according to the age-specific dosage;
• colds and hypothermia - ACC has a pronounced anti-inflammatory effect, which allows you to quickly get rid of unpleasant symptoms affecting the respiratory system; adenoid vegetations;
• the presence of bronchospasm, the cause of which was an allergic reaction. This condition occurs more often in bronchial asthma. Aminocapronka quickly blocks allergens and restores normal breathing in the patient;
• insufficient blood clotting - during inhalation, aminocaproic acid enters not only the respiratory tract, but also the bloodstream, thereby increasing the blood's ability to clot. ACC is especially needed in cases of diagnosed thrombocytopenia, when platelet activity is severely impaired.

It is also worth paying attention to the fact that aminocaproic acid resists pathogenic microflora (bacteria and viruses) that are firmly “settled” on the mucous membranes of the respiratory system. ACC quickly binds the protein structure of the “aggressors”, due to which cell division is suspended. This allows you to slow down the spread of infection.

For all of the above conditions, it is recommended to carry out inhalations with aminocaproic acid using modern devices, for example, nebulizers. Thanks to the uniform spraying of medicinal substances, the desired therapeutic effect is achieved, allowing to reduce the course of the inflammatory process.

The principle of action of aminocaproic acid during inhalation treatment

During inhalation, aminocaproic acid vapors enter the walls of the mucous membranes, moving to the lower parts of the respiratory system.
Aminocapron molecules closely interact with protein compounds of the tissues of the inflamed organ.

This interaction eliminates swelling, inflammation and reduces capillary permeability.

After inhalation, patients note a significant improvement in their overall health, cough and sore throat decrease, and body temperature returns to normal values.

Literally 1–2 days from the start of therapy, the first improvements are noted. Do not forget that aminocaproic acid cannot always cope with the disease, and in some cases it “works” only in combination with other drugs. For example, if we are dealing with bronchitis or pneumonia, we cannot do without antibiotics.

• In childhood, the initial stages of COB and bronchial asthma are cured in 40% of cases;
• – Ventolin for inhalation.

How to carry out inhalation?

Unfortunately, not all parents know how to properly carry out inhalations with aminocaproic acid. It is a mistake to think that to do this it is enough to hold the baby over the container, thereby the vapor will enter his nasopharynx. This method is not only inconvenient, but also ineffective.

To simplify this task, special devices have been created - nebulizers. This is a fairly compact device in size that turns the drug into an aerosol, and it can easily penetrate into any, even the most remote areas of the respiratory system.

During inhalation, the drug particles are evenly distributed throughout the respiratory organs. a positive effect , resulting in improved mucus secretion and accelerated metabolic processes. The duration of one course is 5 days. For the best effect, several procedures with aminocaproic acid should be performed throughout the day.

How long should you take inhalations with aminocaproic acid?

In most cases, inhalation treatment lasts from 3 to 5 days. It all depends on the severity of the symptoms. Long-term inhalation, if there is no indication for it, makes no sense. Don't forget, aminocapron is a medicine that increases platelet activity, not water.

The longer aminocaproic acid is used, the more likely it is to get thick blood. The optimal duration of procedures is three days. During this time, the patient will understand whether ACC helps or not.

Is it possible to rinse your nose with aminocaproic acid?

It is best to perform nasal rinsing with aminocaproic acid from the attending physician who prescribed it. If you decide to do this procedure at home, you must follow all the recommendations.

For certain diseases, aminocaproic acid is suitable for rinsing the nose, but the first procedure must be carried out in the presence of a doctor

You can rinse your nose using a syringe, douche or small kettle, following the concentration specified in the instructions. If necessary, the drug can be diluted with warm water. Rinsing helps against inflammation in the nasopharynx, accumulation of pus and mucus, sinusitis and adenoids. You can also rinse your nose to prevent viral infections.

How and when to inhale ACC using a nebulizer?

The number of procedures per day and duration of treatment is determined by the doctor. Typically one or two treatments per day are performed depending on the severity of symptoms.

Only a 5% solution of ACC is used as a medicinal substance.

Less concentrated dosages are recommended for children. A physiological solution of sodium chloride is suitable as a diluent.

Check with your pediatrician for the dilution ratio. There is no need to inhale aminocapronka for a long time; 3–5 minutes is enough. The first procedure is a trial procedure, so you should breathe for exactly a minute. The subsequent inhalation, if everything is normal, lasts 3 minutes, and this can be increased to five minutes.

Contraindications and side effects

Of course, Aminocapronka is considered a very effective medicine with a wide range of applications. However, you will need to consult your doctor before using it. Because this medication is not as harmless as it might initially seem.

The ACC manual states that the medication is contraindicated in children with the following pathologies:

• if you are allergic to the components of the powder;
• It is prohibited to use the drug if thrombosis is suspected;
• with poor coagulation of biological fluid and hemophilia;
• with renal failure;
• if the baby has poor circulation;
• Blood fragments appeared in the urine.

In addition, ACC should not be used for heart disease. In other cases, consultation with a doctor is required before using the dosage form in question.

Precautions and contraindications

Aminocaproic acid is not used in case of individual intolerance; in such cases, it is necessary to select analogues. There are also other contraindications, here is a list of them:

• severe liver pathologies;
• tendency to thrombosis, especially in the peritoneum and lower extremities;
• lupus erythematosus (systemic disease);
• bloody discharge from the urinary tract;
• embolism;
• coronary heart and cerebral vascular disease;
• malfunctions of the circulatory system;
• serious pathologies of the heart and blood vessels;
• heart defects;
• decompensated renal pathologies;
• renal failure;
• cerebrovascular accident (stroke);
• persistent hypotension.

Aminocaproic acid is not used during pregnancy and breastfeeding. You should not risk the child’s health, therefore, as analogues for inhalation, it is better to use safe products that will definitely not cause harm. In any case, consultation with a therapist or otolaryngologist is necessary.

Substitutes and analogues of aminocaproic acid

Since aminocaproic acid is primarily a hemostatic agent, its analogues are drugs that stop bleeding. But due to the fact that the medicine is also used for the treatment of the upper respiratory tract and the prevention of acute respiratory viral infections, children's nasal products can be substitutes for aminocaproic acid.

Features of the use of ACC in pediatrics

First, let's determine at what age the use of ACC for inhalation in children is allowed. So, from the age of five, you can safely inhale ACC, but provided that the child does not have allergic reactions to aminocapronka. In order for the procedure using a nebulizer to be beneficial, do not forget about the following rules:

• the mask should fit tightly to the child’s face;
• inhalations are performed incrementally, i.e. the first procedures take a few minutes, then they are gradually increased to 5 or more, as prescribed by the doctor;
• keeping the nebulizer clean (after treatment, thoroughly wash and dry all parts of the device);
• buy aminocaproic acid only at the pharmacy and use it immediately before the procedure (before treatment, each time we open a new capsule (nebula) of ACC).

Before using aminocaproic acid, you need a detailed blood test, which will tell you whether everything is in order with the child’s platelets and other blood parameters. Only then is the issue of appointing an ACC decided.

Contraindications and side effects

The main contraindications to inhalation with aminocaproic acid solution are:

• ACC intolerance;
• Any circulatory or blood clotting disorders;
• Severe systemic pathologies, including renal failure;
• Body temperature is above 38.0 °C.

The drug should be used with caution in children prone to developing drug or food allergies. For such patients, it is recommended to reduce the duration of the first inhalation by half to monitor the absence of a negative reaction

The most common side effect with this method of using aminocaproic acid is an allergy, expressed by a dry cough, swelling of the mucous membranes or skin rashes. If the first signs of a negative reaction are detected, it is necessary to immediately stop treatment and give the child any antihistamine in an age-appropriate dosage.

Regularly exceeding the recommended therapeutic dose can lead to the appearance or worsening of side effects, dry mucous membranes and a deterioration in overall health. In case of overdose, inhalation must also be stopped.

Inhalations with aminocaproic acid for adenoids

What are adenoids?
Many parents have heard about this “beast”, but still cannot fully understand the problem. Due to the invasion of pathogenic microorganisms, inflammation and an increase in the size of the pharyngeal tonsil occurs.

This phenomenon is more often observed in children who find themselves in a new environment - kindergarten, school and other crowds of people.

Children begin to get sick often, and mothers complain that we go to kindergarten for a week, and we sit at home for a week. Sound familiar? This is how children’s bodies build up immunity by encountering new viruses every day.

If a child begins to sleep poorly, he often has a headache and a stuffy nose, and for a long time, and his mouth is slightly open, then there is every reason to suspect adenoiditis.

To be honest, quite a few otolaryngologists, especially in Soviet times, immediately sent children to have adenoid growths removed. Such drastic measures, in their opinion, protected children from chronic otitis media and other inflammatory diseases of the respiratory system. Dr. Komarovsky advises surgical treatment only in extreme cases; it is advisable to treat conservatively for up to 7 years.

Aminocaproic acid for this pathology will be effective only in the first stages of adenoid proliferation. Therefore, when a child at stage 4 is prescribed a lot of drugs for conservative treatment, it is necessary to change the specialist. Wasted money and zero effect.

ACC is included in a comprehensive treatment regimen for adenoids, because as monotherapy it will not be enough. Inhalations with ACC are done for 5 days in a row. In addition, it is good to “connect” homeopathy, silver preparations, low doses of corticosteroids (if necessary). For the procedure, you need to take 2 ml of ACC (for babies it is diluted with saline solution 1:1).

After the procedures, swelling noticeably subsides, it becomes easier for the child to breathe through his nose, and headaches disappear.

• Lazolvan for inhalation - instructions, reviews, analogues;
• In case of severe damage to the mucous membranes, patients are prescribed inhalations with hydrocortisone;
• – berodual for inhalation.

Features of treating colds with ACC

For a runny nose and cough, aminocaproic acid is quite effective. It is important to follow a number of rules:

• Try to keep the inhaler mask as close as possible to the baby's face.
• Maintain sterility: before and after use, wash all components of the nebulizer, pour boiling water over the cup and mask or other attachment.
• The use of only high-quality drugs is required.
• Each new inhalation begins with a new ACC ampoule. It is unacceptable to perform the procedure with the previous solution. This way you can bring back the infection you are treating.
• Inhalation time starts from 1 minute, increasing the interval each time. Ultimately, the procedure should take 5 minutes of your time.

In addition, the medicine is also used to prevent viral diseases during an epidemiological outbreak.

Very important! As soon as the doctor has prescribed ACC inhalations for your child, ask for a referral for a complete blood count. You must control the quality of the blood from the beginning to the end of the procedures. Donate blood, get the result, and only then take up the nebulizer. This way you will protect your baby from the formation of blood clots due to improper use of the medicine.

Tatiana

Aminocaproic acid, on the advice of my mother, a pediatrician, has been treating my children’s runny nose for a long time. The price is affordable, and children can tolerate inhalations with aminocapronka without any problems. It is better to buy nebulas at the pharmacy, because... they clearly calculate the required dose for one inhalation, i.e. 2 ml of solution. There is no point in taking it in bottles, you’ll just have to pour out the unused part later, although I know from experience that in Soviet times aminocapron was stored for up to five days after opening in the refrigerator.

If a child, he is 3.5 years old, has a severe runny nose, I use the following composition for inhalation: aminocapronka 1 ml + 2 ml saline solution + 1 ml decasan, and I put all this in a nebulizer container. If, for example, the child is one year old, then ACC and dekasan are taken in 0.5 ml and 1 ml of saline is added. I’ve been treating this little thing for about a week, we do one inhalation a day, it really helps, try it!

Victoria

My child has a tendency to nosebleeds. Almost every rhinitis is accompanied by slight bloody discharge from the nose. Once there was quite heavy bleeding and my son was admitted to the hospital. They suggested that in our case it would be useful to use aminocaproic acid using a nebulizer. We tried this treatment, it has an effect, I recommend it.

Albina

We were faced with the fact that the child practically did not recover from colds. A constant runny nose with short weekly breaks was simply tormenting. Protargol, isofru, and beet juice were dripped. There were improvements, but I still got sick often. One day we had an appointment with another pediatrician. We were greeted by a friendly woman of about seventy. After listening to me, she told me and asked: “Have you tried not to torture the child, but to carry out prophylaxis with aminocapron?”

To be honest, I was stunned. What kind of medicine is this? Is it really a panacea? They started putting aminocapron in the nose as a preventative measure, and sometimes did inhalations. I can’t say that I stopped getting sick completely, but I started visiting kindergarten much more often. Thanks to those doctors who do not prescribe newfangled drugs, emptying our wallets.

Contraindications and side effects

The use of aminocaproic acid is contraindicated in the presence of several pathologies and physical conditions of the body.

1. Increased blood clotting with the likelihood of intravascular blood clots leading to thromboembolism.
2. Coagulopathy (a pathological condition caused by blood clotting disorders).
3. Severe renal impairment.
4. Hypersensitivity.
5. Pregnancy and lactation period.

The following side effects are possible when using this drug:

• arrhythmia, bradycardia;
• nausea, vomiting, diarrhea;
• skin rashes;
• acute renal failure;
• catarrhal inflammation of the upper airways.

Inhalation of aminocaproic acid enhances the effects of other antiviral and cold medicines. The drug is non-toxic. When used through a nebulizer, the likelihood of developing side effects is reduced to zero.

Aminocaproic acid: instructions for inhalation

The drug can be used in two ways - instilled into the nose, or breathed through a nebulizer. For pathologies of the upper respiratory tract, the first method is more suitable for prevention. Aminocapronka for the nebulizer is used for diseases of the lower respiratory tract, when deep penetration of the active components into pathological places is required.

According to the instructions, aminocaproic acid for inhalation is used by adults and children from birth. The dosage is selected individually in each case. Depends on the patient’s age, severity, period of the disease, clinical picture. On average, 1 nebula is prescribed three times a day. The duration of treatment is 7 days.

The drug combines well with other medications, but mixing several medications in a cup is prohibited . The break between breathing procedures should be at least 1 hour.

ACC for inhalation for various pathologies

An antiviral drug is used for diseases of the upper and lower respiratory tract. For preventive purposes it is used as an independent remedy, for treatment - as part of complex therapy.

Inhalation with aminocaproic acid for cough

The solution does not have a pronounced antitussive, expectorant, or mucolytic effect. Cannot be used as a primary medication.

There is no need to do inhalations for a cold if there is a positive trend towards recovery. Aminocaproic acid inhalation for cough can be prescribed with a confirmed diagnosis of ARVI as an auxiliary medication.

You should not breathe ACC for more than 10 days. Further extension of the deadline is inappropriate.

With a runny nose

ACC has a pronounced antiviral property, other qualities are weakly expressed. It is recommended to breathe the solution at the initial stage of the disease, when the first signs begin to appear.

The drug does not treat a runny nose, nor can it cope with sinusitis or sinusitis. Administering the medication through a nebulizer does not increase its effectiveness. In other words, using an antiviral agent is possible, but not necessary.

Inhalations with aminocaproic acid for adenoids

Throat diseases are treated with sprays, aerosols, gargling solutions, and tablets. Inhalation therapy is prescribed in severe cases, only the most powerful medications are prescribed. ACC is not like that, so application is not mandatory. There will be no harm, but the benefit is doubtful.

Reviews

Marina: “The child often suffered from colds and viral diseases. The pediatrician prescribed ACC through a nebulizer. I didn’t understand what this drug was for; I trusted the doctor’s professionalism. The next time I come, a different doctor is already seeing me. He said that amikapronka does not help anything. You don’t have to breathe the solution.”

Olga: “The effectiveness of antiviral drugs is still in doubt. Whether they work or not is difficult to say. The body itself begins to fight the infection, and recovery begins.”

Irina: “I don’t even know what this remedy will help with. Antiviral drugs are administered either for prophylaxis or in the first days of illness. Then they are useless."

Ekaterina: “I bought nebulas for a long time. They cost a lot. As they were sick with the children, they continued to do so. Absolutely nothing helps."

Veronica: “You can use it for prevention, but not through a nebulizer. This device is intended for the treatment of severe obstructive diseases. Just drop it into your nose for 10 days. It’s not a fact that it will help, but my soul will be calmer.”

• For oral administration.
  This use of the drug is indicated not only for bleeding, but also for rotavirus.
• For instillation into the nose.
  Both a ready-made solution and powdered or granulated Aminocaproic acid mixed with unsweetened water are used (a 5% solution is also prepared from this form of the medicine).
• For inhalation.
  The procedures are carried out with a nebulizer for adenoids, cough, as well as for prolonged runny nose or sinusitis.
• For rinsing the nose.
  This manipulation is sometimes prescribed to remove yellow or green thick nasal discharge. In this case, washing must be carried out by a doctor, since an incorrect procedure can cause increased swelling and irritation of the mucous membrane.

Dosage

• To treat a runny nose,
  one or two drops of liquid Aminocaproic acid should be injected into each of the child’s nasal passages, unless the doctor recommends a different dosage. Instillation is repeated every 3 hours, and treatment lasts from three to 7 days.
• To prevent ARVI
  during the epidemic season, two or three drops of Aminocaproic acid in liquid form can be injected into the child’s nostrils up to 5 times a day.
• For one inhalation,
  take a solution of Aminocaproic acid in a volume of 2 ml, mixing with the same amount of sodium chloride solution. The frequency of the procedure is twice a day for 5-10 minutes, and the average duration of therapy is 4 days.

Almost any illness, such as the flu or the most common chickenpox, can be accompanied by a runny nose. Even a visit to kindergarten by absolutely healthy children does not exclude the possibility of them developing a runny nose. in the child’s nose will help to effectively get rid of rhinopharyngitis.

What analogues are there?

If aminocaproic acid does not have the desired effect or contraindications to it are found, analogues are prescribed. The doctor selects them based on the similar mechanism of action required to eliminate a particular condition.

Popular analogues:

• Gemotran. The drug has the same principles of action as ACC, despite the fact that it contains a different active substance. Cost – 470 rubles. The active element is tranexamic acid. Produced in Kyiv. The drug is indicated for bleeding of any etiology, as well as its competitive analogue. The medication is presented in the form of an injection solution, administered by stream or drip. There are fewer conditions identified as side effects than aminocaproic acid.

• Trenaxa. The medicine is presented in the form of tablets of 250, 500 milligrams and as a solution - 5 milliliters per ampoule. The price is 320 rubles. The active substance is tranexamic acid. The mechanism of action is almost the same as that of the competitive drug. Inject 1-1.5 grams 2 times a day (12 hours) for an adult, for children the dose is divided into 2. Take 1 tablet 3 times a day for 1-4 days. The therapeutic course depends on the pathology. The medication is well tolerated by patients, the side effects are the same as when taking a competitive drug. Trenax is not prescribed to children under 3 years of age, unlike its competitor, which is used in pediatrics.

• Sanghera. The medication is presented in the form of an injection solution. Cost – 480 rubles. 1 milliliter of solution contains 100 milligrams of the active ingredient - tranexamic acid. The principle of action does not differ from the above means, the same applies to indications. Side effects and contraindications are the same as for ACC. In pediatrics it is prescribed from 1 year. Sanger is administered intravenously, using a dropper, at a rate of 1 milliliter per 1 minute, 2-3 times a day. Each disease requires an individual dose. Sometimes the doctor makes adjustments to the treatment regimen; the dosage is set depending on the type of disease and its severity.

Preparations based on tranexamic acid are more suitable for eliminating bleeding resulting from surgical interventions and gynecological pathologies than for treating diseases of the respiratory organs. They are used for ENT pathologies, but the effect will be weaker. Medicines containing tranexamic acid are also used to stop dental bleeding.

Contraindications

Topical use of the drug is considered generally safe. However, depending on the general condition of the body, its anatomical and physiological characteristics and the presence of concomitant pathologies, its use may be limited or prohibited. According to the instructions, systemic administration of ACC has a number of contraindications and may be accompanied by side effects.

You should refuse treatment with aminocapron if:

1. The patient is hypersensitive to the drug,
2. The function of the hemostatic system is impaired with a tendency to thrombus formation and thromboembolism,
3. Discirculatory processes in the brain are pronounced,
4. There is persistent renal dysfunction with hematuria, liver and heart failure,
5. A person has been diagnosed with DIC syndrome.

Getting the solution into the gastrointestinal tract sometimes leads to the development of dyspepsia, manifested by nausea, diarrhea, pain and discomfort in the abdomen. In some cases, local application of acid can cause exacerbation of inflammatory processes in the nose, sinuses, pharynx, and bronchi. Uncontrolled and excessive use of the drug is dangerous due to the appearance of cephalalgia, dizziness, vomiting, tinnitus, diarrhea, convulsions, skin rash, arrhythmia. With a sharp drop in blood pressure, orthostatic hypotension occurs, accompanied by weakness and loss of consciousness. The condition of patients worsens when they change their body position - quickly get up from a chair. Such signs require a reduction in dosage or discontinuation of the drug. Such adverse reactions are usually observed with intravenous administration. When applying acid locally, a minimal amount of the product enters the bloodstream. At the same time, the risk of negative consequences is negligible.
