Dekasan for inhalation for children and adults

Today, diseases of the lower and upper respiratory tract are becoming more common, both among children and among adults. They are a serious problem because they are difficult to treat and often cause complications and relapses. Diseases are common often, especially in the spring-autumn period, when they become epidemics. Almost all diseases of the respiratory tract, regardless of their etiology, are accompanied by severe coughing, burning and tickling in the throat, nasal congestion, runny nose, conjunctivitis, headaches, intoxication, general deterioration and poor performance. Inhalation may be an additional treatment tool that alleviates the patient's condition and promotes a speedy recovery. Currently, decasan is often prescribed for inhalation.

Indications for the procedure

Dekasan for inhalation is indicated both with a dry cough and with a wet cough, with a runny nose, colds of a bacterial, viral etiology. The drug has an antiseptic effect, reduces the inflammatory and infectious process. They relieve pain and inflammation, eliminate sore throat, swelling, nasal congestion. Inhalation with the help of decasan will help eliminate irritation of the respiratory tract, help alleviate the condition, eliminate sputum. Sputum removal plays an important role in the treatment of inflammatory infections of the respiratory tract, since it is in it that the main pathogenic microflora is accumulated. If sputum is not excreted, it accumulates in the respiratory tract. Gradually, the alveoli and bronchioles become clogged, spasm, cells begin to break down, stick together, cease to fulfill their function. So there are bronchospasm, obstruction of the respiratory tract, breathing is complicated.

Accordingly, gas exchange is difficult, the removal of by-products, gases occurs at a reduced rate. The level of hypoxia and hypercapnia in the blood increases. The accumulation of toxic gases and metabolites leads to the fact that symptoms of intoxication gradually increase. At the same time, the condition worsens, local body temperature often rises, edema develops, mucus outflow is disturbed.

Dekasan promotes the elimination of sputum, releases the respiratory tract from mucus, pathogenic microflora, promotes the renewal of mucous membranes. It reduces edema and spasm, and also reduces the level of auto-toxicity and bacterial and viral intoxication by reducing the release of exometabolites by cells of microorganisms.

With a wet cough, decasan for inhalation helps to accelerate sputum excretion processes, normalizes microflora, and relieves swelling and inflammation. With a dry cough, inhalation using decasan dissolves sputum and helps to eliminate it. They also contribute to the relaxation of smooth muscle layers of the bronchi, relieve spasms. The drug enhances the cough reflex, due to which the dissolved sputum is excreted. As a rule, decasan for inhalation helps to remove phlegm and toxins, turning the cough into a productive form (into a wet cough), and this is considered a positive sign, since sputum is excreted with a wet cough, recovery is faster.

Dekasan is mainly used in therapy, phthisiology, pulmonology, pediatrics. This is an antiseptic drug aimed at destroying pathogenic microflora and eliminating the infectious process. [1]The main indication for inhalation with decasan is catarrhal, infectious and inflammatory processes of any etiology (viral, bacterial, chlamydial, reketsetsionnoy, diphtheria,  [2] parasitic). Inhalations are prescribed for diseases of the respiratory tract, accompanied by cough, runny nose. The local use of decamethoxin as an antibacterial and anti-inflammatory drug in the complex treatment of chronic purulent bronchitis has been found to be highly effective. [3]It is prescribed for acute respiratory infections, acute respiratory viral infections, bacterial, viral, combined infections, chlamydia, mononucleosis. Inhalations are used for tonsillitis, tracheitis, tracheobronchitis, bronchitis, pneumonia, pleurisy, rhinitis, sinusitis, sinusitis, rhinosinusitis, and frontitis. It is prescribed both as a therapeutic and as a prophylactic, especially in the season of epidemics and flu.

Inhalations with decasan relieve the condition in chronic and acute respiratory diseases, can be an adjunct in the treatment of chronic, recurring, sluggish allergic, inflammatory processes, accompanied by edema, hyperemia, and increased sensitization.

The drug is often prescribed to patients for preventive purposes, especially dispensary patients who are registered for chronic forms of respiratory diseases. The drug is often used to normalize microflora, restore colonization resistance of the mucous membranes, update them and regenerate. Inhalations with decasan normalize microflora, water-salt balance, mucociliary clearance of the mucous membranes. All this is an important component of the system of nonspecific resistance of the body, local immunity, which protect the body from many infectious diseases. This property gains particular significance during the period of restoration of the respiratory tract after inflammatory and infectious diseases. Therefore, decasan in the form of inhalation is often prescribed after the acute phase of the disease has passed. Inhalations spend some more time after recovery in order to restore the normal natural state of the mucous membranes. Normalization of local immunity significantly increases the body's ability to naturally resist infections, increases resistance and endurance, stimulates local and systemic immunity, and reduces the incidence rate.

Inhalation with decasan with a cold

The drug is intended for the treatment of diseases of the upper and lower respiratory tract, so inhalation with decasan is often prescribed for colds. A runny nose does not appear on its own, it is one of the symptoms of a disease of the upper respiratory tract. A runny nose is an accumulation of mucus, dead microorganisms, spent white blood cells, macrophages, and other immune cells. A runny nose appears with all forms of bacterial and viral diseases of the respiratory tract, with acute respiratory infections, acute respiratory viral infections, with tonsillitis, tracheitis, tracheobronchitis, bronchitis, pneumonia, rhinitis, sinusitis, sinusitis. Inhalations are one of the most rational treatments, since they have a long-term effect on the body, are relatively safe, have a minimum of side effects and contraindications, are effective in restoring the mucous membranes, eliminating inflammatory and infectious processes.

The most effective inhalations with decasan are with a runny nose, which occurs with diseases of bacterial and viral origin. This is due to the fact that the drug has an antiseptic effect, normalizes microflora, water-salt balance. This not only eliminates the infection, but also significantly increases the body's ability to naturally resist infections, and increases resistance and endurance.

For children aged 6 to 12 years, the drug is usually diluted in a ratio of 1: 1, aged 3 to 6 years - in a ratio of 1: 2, where 1 part is decasan, 2 parts are physiological saline. Children under 3 years of age are usually not prescribed such inhalations, since they have extremely sensitive mucous membranes, there are many side effects, children do not know how to use the device. Sometimes children are recommended to rinse their mouth with boiled water after the procedure.

Prior appointment requires a preliminary inspection.

When instilled into the nose, decasan has a vasodilating effect, eliminates swelling of the mucous membranes, hyperemia, nasal congestion, and improves the general condition of the mucous membranes and walls of the respiratory tract. In most cases, 1-3 drops are prescribed in the nose (in each nostril). It is used in the treatment of diseases of the nose, to restore microflora, mucous membranes, after suffering inflammatory diseases of the nasopharynx and pharynx.

Dekasan for inhalation with a nebulizer

Currently, in otolaryngology, pediatric therapy, decasan for inhalation is increasingly prescribed by a nebulizer. This is one of the most convenient and effective ways to use the drug. The method is intended for the treatment of diseases of the upper and lower respiratory tract. Therefore, most often this method of treatment is applicable for the treatment of acute respiratory infections, acute respiratory viral infections, with tonsillitis, tracheitis, bronchitis, pneumonia. Assign as a therapeutic and prophylactic agent, as the main and auxiliary means in the treatment of diseases of the ear, throat, nose.

Inhalation of decasan is often prescribed for adults at various stages of treatment of inflammatory, infectious diseases of the respiratory tract. It can be used both as an independent therapeutic agent in the form of monotherapy, and as an adjuvant included in the complex therapy. The main action is antiseptic, aimed at destroying pathogenic microflora and eliminating the infectious process. Due to the fact that the drug increases local immunity, normalizes the condition of the mucous membranes, local microflora, it can also be used to prevent respiratory tract diseases, especially during the epidemic season, as well as to restore the body and respiratory tract after diseases. In separate clinical studies, it was shown that against the background of its use, the risk of developing allergic and atopic reactions is reduced. Adults, as a rule, are prescribed the drug in its pure form, without dilution. Nebula contains 20 ml of the drug. One inhalation usually requires 10 ml. 1 to 3 inhalations are prescribed per day.

Derinat is often included in the course of treatment of various pathologies for children: bronchitis, pneumonia, chronic and obstructive bronchopulmonary pathologies. It is sometimes useful for stopping attacks of an asthmatic component, since it helps to eliminate spasm, reduce the level of bacterial contamination.

For children, the drug is recommended to be diluted 1-2 times with saline. It should not be used in its pure form, since children have a high sensitivity of the mucous membranes, and the use of a pure preparation can cause a chemical burn.

Dekasan for inhalation during pregnancy

If in the early stages a woman feels mild signs of a runny nose, a violation of the normal state of the mucous membranes, decasan can also be recommended. It will help the body, in particular, the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract, quickly and painlessly adapt to new conditions, increase compensatory, adaptive capabilities.

Also, decasan may be useful due to the fact that with the onset of pregnancy, immunity decreases sharply. Therefore, various diseases develop at this time, chronic and latent diseases become aggravated, a latent and persistent infection is activated.

In the first trimester, you can use any form of decasan. It effectively eliminates sore throat, nasal congestion, promotes accelerated recovery, adaptation, reduction in the number of pathogenic microflora and normalization of the normal state of mucosal microbiocenoses.

In the second trimester of pregnancy, decasana is allowed, if there are no contraindications to this. Also, the use of the drug is justified in an extreme case, if you can not do without drugs. It should also be borne in mind that in this case individual intolerance may be observed, therefore, if undesirable reactions appear, the treatment regimen should be reviewed.

In the third trimester of pregnancy, the use of decasan is not always useful. They resort to it in case of emergency, since in the third trimester the sensitivity of the body usually increases, intolerance of many components is often noted. In severe diseases of the respiratory tract, the use of decasan is still necessary, since the benefits of treatment will be much higher than the harm from the lack of treatment.

It must be remembered that in pregnancy it is impossible to self-medicate during pregnancy. Before using any remedy, you must first consult with your doctor.

It is also worth noting that when using the drug in its pure form, children under 12 years of age may be intolerant, irritated and swollen mucous membranes, up to a chemical burn. This is due to the fact that children have a high sensitivity of the mucous membranes. Therefore, children need to dilute the drug with saline.

The exception is cases when the procedure was carried out incorrectly, or contrary to contraindications. Complications are possible with individual intolerance, as well as if children under 12 years of age use a clean, undiluted preparation. It should be borne in mind that in some patients, after inhalation, the nebulizer feels tickling, a slight burning sensation and tingling in the throat, there is a stuffy nose, sometimes watery eyes. This may be due to maceration of the mucous membranes, in which they swell, fill with a drug, and undergo slight irritation. As a rule, these sensations pass on their own within half an hour. If they do not pass, it is recommended to gargle with warm boiled water.

Care after the procedure

Analogs of Decasan

Dekasan is not the only drug that can be prescribed in the treatment of respiratory diseases in the form of inhalation. In Russia, there are analogues of decasan, for example, bioporox, berodual, decamethoxin, malavit, miramistin, prospean. The mechanism of action of these drugs is approximately similar. Each of them has a certain anti-inflammatory and antiseptic effect, eliminates the main symptoms of nasopharyngial pathology. Most of them are used as an adjuvant, and may be part of complex therapy.

Berodual

Assign in the form of inhalation to adults and children for the treatment of inflammation, infections in the throat and nose, lower respiratory tract. Berodual acts quickly. It is better to prescribe for chronic pathologies, since it acts for a rather long time, while exerting a maximum of therapeutic effect. It has a cumulative effect. The mechanism of action is to eliminate inflammation, thinning sputum, removing sputum, eliminating pathogenic microflora. May have side effects and contraindications. It can not be used during pregnancy. This is a potent drug that is prescribed for chronic infections. [4]

Miramistin

Miramistin is an antiseptic that has antibacterial, antifungal, antiprotozoal activity. It is used for various diseases of the respiratory tract, in inflammatory and infectious processes. The main mechanism of action is to reduce the level of bacterial contamination, to eliminate pathogenic microflora, including fungi, protozoa. The drug is used in the form of a spray, rinse, drops, inhalations. It is used to rinse the mouth and lubricate the throat and oral cavity. This is one of the few drugs that are active against fungal microflora. Depending on the dosage, it can have both fungicidal and fungistatic effects. In the first case, the fungal infection is completely destroyed. In the second case, the activity and growth rate of the fungus simply decreases. [5]

Span

A drug that can be prescribed to treat respiratory diseases. Used for inhalation through a nebulizer. In this case, the product is diluted with saline or distilled water in accordance with the scheme prescribed by the doctor. Sometimes adults are prescribed to rinse. To do this, you need to prepare a solution, in its pure form, the product can not be used. Dilute from the calculation a tablespoon of the product in a glass of water. But in other cases, the doctor may prescribe a more concentrated solution, up to the preparation of the solution in a ratio of 1: 1 or 1: 2 with water. It has contraindications and side effects, in particular, it is not recommended for patients with pathology of the cardiovascular system, with allergic reactions and bronchial asthma. [6]

Dekasan and ACC for inhalation with a nebulizer

Both drugs have anti-infective action. Active against gram-negative and gram-positive microflora, protozoa. The combined effect of the two drugs can affect a wide range of microorganisms. Due to the quick elimination of the infection, the inflammatory process is quickly eliminated, and recovery comes faster. Most often, decasan and ACC are prescribed for inhalation with a nebulizer, since this is a quick and convenient method of treatment. The use of drugs for children under 12 years of age is not recommended.

Malavit

Refers to homeopathic remedies, which has anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antifungal, antibacterial effects. Relieves swelling, eliminates viral infection, has a mild immunostimulating effect. It is intended for the treatment of skin and mucous membranes with infectious pathologies. The drug is based on a mineral-organic complex, medicinal plants. May cause an allergy. The advantage is that the drug does not cause resistance of microorganisms. If decasan is used for inhalation for a long time, microorganisms can develop resistance to it, as a result of which the drug will not be effective. Malavit does not have such an effect, and may be an alternative to decasan.
