Pharmacodynamics
Pharmazoline is a nonselective alpha-adrenomimetic that promotes local narrowing of vessels located in the mucous membrane, and also reduces the intensity of the inflammatory processes. The application of the drug on the mucous membrane has an anti-edema effect and reduces the secretion of fluid and hyperemia, as a result of which the blood circulation in venous sinuses decreases, and breathing of the nose is facilitated.
Side effects Pharmazoline
There may be side effects: dryness, burning sensation, and tingling in the nasal cavity. Prolonged or frequent use Farmazolina in inflated concentration can lead to edema of the nasal mucosa (primarily due to long-term use) and the emergence resorptive effects (vomiting, occurrence of headaches, a sharp rise in blood pressure, upset the normal rhythm of the heartbeat, dizziness, loss of sleep, transient visual disturbances) .
