Reviews about Sanorin

This drug is especially active in pregnant women. For some, it turned out to be quite difficult to do without a medicine, which always helped them excellently. Moreover, some ladies are not going to give it up at all, and some doctors even prescribe these drops. At the same time, women, who already have children, say that during pregnancy they used this medicine, and there was no harm from it.
Also reviews about Sanorin are often associated with the treatment of children. Although usually in such cases, a child drug is used, in the solution of which a lower concentration of the active substance is contained. Nevertheless, many experts argue that any medicine created on the basis of naphazoline, not recommended for use in pregnancy and lactation and for the treatment of young children.
Sometimes patients report that Sanorin with eucalyptus oil provides a greater effect, it is more pleasant to use, and it less dries the mucous membranes. Therefore, they prefer to use this particular tool. It is believed that the drops with eucalyptus oil provide a lasting effect.
Among all discussions of the drug, one can single out a separate topic concerning the habituation to these drops. The fact is that, for example, with acute rhinitis, many people start using this particular medicine. It really helps to relieve congestion, so patients sometimes use drops, not observing the dosage and frequency of acceptable instillations. However, soon people notice that they can breathe normally only after using this drug. This is the drug addiction that some patients can not get rid of for years.
The mechanism of the formation of such a dependence occurs as follows: prolonged use of vasoconstrictive drugs leads to the fact that the mucosa loses its normal functioning. As a result, there is a new swelling and requires the continued use of the medication. Getting rid of the drug dependence is quite difficult: you will have to survive a prolonged recovery of the nasal membranes. At the same time, it is difficult for a person to breathe, there are headaches and other undesirable symptoms.
Applying such remedies, it is necessary to remember that they can be treated as an auxiliary in the acute phase of the disease. If you do not follow the doctor's prescription - use drops for a long time in large doses, this usually causes serious consequences, for the elimination of which it may take a lot of time and effort.
