But, there is always a risk and situations are different. So it is better to get an additional consultation from a specialist regarding this issue, so that no problems arise in the future.
In the early stages of pregnancy, it is generally not recommended to resort to the help of any medications. In this case, it is advisable to give preference to standard and safe forms of treatment.

Overdose
Overdose of Evkazolin N is not completely excluded. It may be caused by an allergic reaction. With frequent instillation of the nose, negative symptoms may appear. Thus, this may be a headache, increased dryness in the nose, nausea and the development of depression.
In some cases, all this is accompanied by increased pressure and temporary visual impairment. If this occurs, the medication cannot be used. It is necessary to immediately stop such treatment. In this case, antagonist drugs will help. Symptomatic therapy is not excluded.
If the unpleasant symptoms do not disappear even after stopping the use of the drug, you should consult a doctor. Most likely, we are talking about the manifestation of a persistent allergic reaction. In this case, the person is prescribed high-quality treatment. After all, the situation cannot be left unchanged. There were no cases when overdose symptoms actively manifested. But, despite this, Evkazolin N should be used with extreme caution.
Interactions with other drugs
Interactions with other drugs are possible, but only if they do not have the same effect. The drug should not be taken simultaneously with monoamine oxidase inhibitors. A similar situation is with tricycline antidepressants.
There are no other restrictions on this matter. It is important not to take several nasal drops at the same time, as this can cause a persistent allergic reaction. If a person uses more than one medication, then attention should be paid to its composition.
When identical substances meet, they can enhance each other's effects when interacting closely. Which can have a negative impact on a person's condition. Therefore, before starting treatment, it is worth consulting a doctor. Not many people know how to take the drug correctly and what it can interact with. Such situations provoke the onset of serious health problems. Therefore, Evkazolin N must be used in strict accordance with the instructions.
Storage conditions
Storage conditions for Evkazolin N should be optimal. Any medication should be stored out of reach of children. Babies should never use such products. One instillation can cause a persistent shock reaction from the body.
It is also necessary to observe the temperature regime, usually it fluctuates between 8 and 15 degrees Celsius. But, despite such low indicators, it is not recommended to send the medicine to the refrigerator. In general, it is not worth exposing the product to low temperatures.
It is important to find the ideal storage place, usually an ordinary first aid kit meets the optimal conditions. It is dry, warm and there is no extra light. In addition, there is no dampness either. That is why it is the one to give preference to.
After using the drug, close the bottle with a lid. Otherwise, all active components will evaporate, and the product will be unsuitable for use. The storage conditions for Evkazolin N must be fully observed.
Shelf life
The shelf life of the drug depends on the conditions in which it is stored. Thus, the medicine can be used for one year. But at the same time, it is worth monitoring the appearance of the bottle and its contents. If during use a person feels an unpleasant odor, most likely the medicine has become unusable.
The consistency of the drug should not change, this also indicates an adverse effect of external factors on it. It is worth observing the temperature regime during storage. Nasal drops accept a temperature of 8-15 degrees. But this is not a reason to store them in the refrigerator.
The location of the preparation should be dry and not damp. Exposure to sunlight is completely excluded. Due to such storage conditions, the shelf life of the preparation will not be artificially reduced.
It is important to avoid mechanical damage to the bottle, this will significantly reduce the duration of its useful action. Only the right conditions will allow you to preserve the unchanged properties of Evkazolin N.
