Eye drops from allergies containing antibiotics

Locally, as a rule, drugs containing antibiotics are prescribed. This is due to the fact that in the case of tearing, redness of the eyes, few of the patients immediately seek help from a doctor. Usually a person tries to cope with the symptom on his own. Lotions, ointments on the advice of friends or neighbors, warming up or cold compresses lead to an even more allergic reaction. The burning sensation increases, the itching intensifies. All these manifestations are accompanied by the fact that a person rubs his eyes or applies incompletely disinfected hand-made materials - cotton swabs, handkerchiefs. Most eye allergy symptoms are precisely for these reasons that coexist with bacterial infections. Drops from allergies, including in the composition of antibiotics, effectively remove not only the inflammation of the eye sclera, but also neutralize the bacteria. Of the most popular and prescribed drops, you can identify tobabrax, dexa-gentamicin, maxillol. It should be remembered that self-medication with eye allergy is unacceptable and eye drops should be selected and prescribed only by the doctor - ophthalmologist or allergist. Eye drops work fine with the symptoms, but they do not treat the allergy itself. Especially they are not able to eliminate the cause of an allergic disease. If, after two weeks of applying drops, allergy symptoms - redness, itching, a sensation of sand in the eyes, do not pass, then specific immunotherapy can be prescribed.

Antihistamine eye drops from allergies

This is ketotifen, patanol, azelastine and other drugs of this group that effectively neutralize the itching and excessive tear. Also, allergy drops containing anti-inflammatory components may be prescribed in the antiallergic therapeutic complex. These are corticosteroid drops that are designed to stop and eliminate the inflammatory process in the eyes. Also corticosteroids eliminate puffiness and irritation of the eyelids. These drops are released on prescription, which is quite fair. Like other forms of release - tablets, creams and ointments, corticosteroid drops from allergies have contraindications.

Drops from allergies to the eyes inhibit the production of histamine in the eye mucosa, relieve the inflammatory process, accordingly, swelling, itching, and tearing go away. With care, any drops that are part of the complex treatment of allergies, prescribed in severe forms of allergic disease, and in the presence of concomitant infectious diseases. It should also be noted that the simultaneous administration of corticosteroids and antihistamines is unacceptable. Eye drops from allergies can give side effects and cause such sensations: 

• Strongly burning, which should pass for 20-30 minutes. If the burning sensation remains and lasts for more than an hour, you should immediately contact an ophthalmologist, and before that try to wash your eyes with warm, clean (boiled) water; 
• If a person wears contact lenses, after instillation, do not wear the lens for 15-20 minutes. The longer the lens is not worn, the better the drops are absorbed. Lenses can also cause burning and discomfort; 
• If a person uses eye drops and does not follow the rules of antiseptics (does not close the vial, the vial pipette becomes contaminated and so on), the allergy may be accompanied by a bacterial infection. Bacteria penetrate well into the damaged sclera and mucous lids; 
• Corticosteroids often increase intraocular pressure. If a history of the patient is fixed glaucoma or cataract, corticosteroid drops are either not prescribed, or applied with caution.

Drops from allergies can also serve to stop allergic reactions in the nose. These are local antihistamines in liquid form intended for nasal administration. Nasal drops are divided into three groups: 

• Nasal agents are combined (sanorin-asterin). The two main components that make up such drops ensure neutralization of the allergic reaction (edema, itching) and allergy itself. Such drops are prescribed, guided by anamnestic information, diagnosis and taking into account the concomitant diseases. More than ten days combined nasal drops are not used. 
• Vasoconstrictive nasal agents (vibrocil). Contraindications - pregnant women, children under five, lactation. Vasoconstrictors can also be produced as a spray or gel. Use nasal drops of this group for up to two weeks. 
• Corticosteroids. These drops from allergies are used only for the doctor's prescription, because they have a lot of side effects.

Drops from allergies are one of the first means of helping allergic people, since most often allergic reactions appear in the eye and nose. The main thing is not to make a mistake in the choice of a drug and use it in accordance with the doctor's recommendations.
