Everyone at least once in his life in a dream made sounds resembling snoring. In individual snoring there is nothing terrible, except for the inconvenience to themselves and others. But if a light snoring grows into a loud rumbling sound, depriving the rest and a full sleep as the one who publishes it, and nearby relatives, this becomes a serious problem. But this "loud" problem has a simple solution - a spray from snoring.

Let's say at once that this is not the only method of treatment for a night rumble. Such tools as special snoring clips, various drops in the nose with anti-inflammatory and antispasmodic effect, nose wash with sea salt, as well as operational methods of laser and cryogenic correction, also have the right to exist. That is, there is always a choice. Do you want to lie under the surgeon's knife and get rid of the problem of snoring forever, and if you do not decide on surgical treatment - use more sparing methods of treatment with the help of sprays, drops and other methods.

Is it necessary to treat snoring?

Perhaps you will have a question: why bother with snoring? Usually, those who encountered the problem recently say this, and to whom it has not yet created uncomfortable situations. For the time being, a person may not realize that he is the source of such strange sounds that are not peculiar to him. But over time, the situation can become complicated and develop into a serious disease, which in itself becomes the cause of other dangerous health disorders.

It starts with a constant lack of sleep, the reason for all the same snoring. Lack of sleep leads to chronic fatigue and irritability, which affects the working capacity of a person and relationships with other people. It is snoring and reluctance to fight with it is a frequent cause of disagreement in the family, leading to a break in relations. And after all, having bought the same spray from snoring, such an outcome can easily be avoided.

Sometimes even an awareness of the problem can lead to unusual consequences. A person becomes shy, timid, insecure. He is afraid to fall asleep in transport or during a break at work, uncomfortable feels at home, and even with relatives. This condition can gradually degenerate into depression.

But this is only the beginning of trouble. Probably, many who encountered snoring noticed that after a loud sound a brief lull comes. Medical research has shown that it is at this moment that a person does not breathe, which means that the brain does not receive oxygen.

Such, it would seem, insignificant on time oxygen starvation for a night develops in minutes and hours. And this already leads to the emergence and progression of cardiovascular diseases: violation of the heart rhythm, heart attack, stroke. In advanced cases, there is a high probability of death directly during sleep.

Do you still have doubts about the need to treat snoring? If you do not care about your health, think at least of those who are close to you, those who are forced to listen to the horrible "serenades" of a native person instead of having a proper rest.

Causes of Snoring

Normal snoring can have many causes that often do not depend on us:

  • Obesity - the most common cause of snoring - leads to a narrowing of the pharynx, caused by compression of the muscles. Fatty tissue accumulates not only under the skin, but also between the muscles, which leads to squeezing the pharynx.
  • Genetic features of the palatine tongue, the vibration of which during breathing and is the cause of unusual sounds.
  • Weakening of the muscular tone of the soft palate, found in fans of smoking.
  • Age changes, accompanied by flabbiness of the palatine muscles.
  • Chronic diseases of the nasopharynx.
  • Congenital anomalies, such as too small a distance between the palatal tongue and the posterior wall of the pharynx (this also occurs in some animals).

The effectiveness of the funds used will directly depend on the cause of snoring and the degree of neglect of the process. Even the most effective sprays from snoring can not correct congenital anomalies, but they can easily alleviate the situation with breathing in their sleep. However, correctly selected after consultation with a doctor, a spray from snoring can successfully replace surgery in all other cases.

Names and characteristics of sprays from snoring

Sprays used to treat snoring (rhonchopathy) can be divided into 2 groups: specialized drugs and generic drugs that help reduce the manifestation of ronthopathy.

The first group includes sprays "MySleepGod" (my good dream), "Stop Hrap Nano" and a series of herbal sprays of American production. Among the medicines, we can mention the sprays "Silence", "Slipex" and "Avamis".

Indications for the use of the first group of drugs are limited to the manifestations of ronhopathy: snoring of various strengths and associated sleep disturbances. As for pharmaceutical medicines, the situation here is different. For example, "Awamis" is prescribed for snoring caused by allergic rhinitis (rhinitis), and "Slipex" relieves the aggravation of various inflammatory processes in the nasopharynx and reduces the intensity of snoring. Drug spray from snoring "Silence" is used to treat snoring, apnea (holding the breath), with chronic diseases and pathologies of the upper respiratory tract, ARVI, vocal cord disorders.

The first group of drugs - plant-based sprays, which have virtually no contraindications, in addition to heightened sensitivity to individual components of the remedy. Sprays of the second group "Slipex" and "Silence" in its composition also have a plant base and the same contraindications for use. And yet the first drug doctors do not recommend for children under 18, pregnant and lactating women. Synthetic drug "Awamis" is shown to children from 2 years of age, but with caution it should be taken by pregnant women and people with severe impairments in the work of the liver (the physician determines the appropriateness of treatment with this drug and its dosage).

The use of snoring sprays during pregnancy is not prohibited, but without consulting a doctor there is no way to do, because the future mother should take care not only of her comfort, but also of the safe, full-fetal development of her baby's baby.

Specialized sprays on snoring on plant basis

Probably the most popular among non-pharmacy products from snoring is the sprays "MySleepGod" and "Stop Hrap Nano". Find them and the necessary information on the possibility of acquisition can be on the official website of the official distributor or intermediary stores. We did not find reliable information about the manufacturer of the sprays, but the reviews are generally positive. Even if they do not heal completely from snoring, then a positive trend is observed in almost all patients.

On the assurances of the creators and manufacturers of these sprays, only natural herbal components, or rather plant extracts and essential oils, are present in the formulation. There are no chemical dyes and perfumes, nor genetically modified products. These are certified medicines with the necessary documents. So if they do not help you from snoring, they will give you a healthy, strong sleep and improve your immune system without harm to your health.

Spray from snoring "MySleepGod" will help to quickly and effectively improve the quality of sleep, saving you from snoring and related troubles. The composition contains plant extracts of mats and lemon balm, essential oils of lemon and sage. Additional components to create the necessary consistency and enhance the effect - purified water and a complex of vitamins.

This means of rochopathy increases the elasticity of the muscles of the nasopharynx, relieving the patient of snoring, has an antibacterial effect, prevents spasmodic phenomena in the larynx, soothingly acts on the nervous system, effectively fighting insomnia, has a tangible overall health effect.

The spray is easy to use. It is only necessary to remove the cap and pressing the index and middle finger on the base of the tip to inject into the mouth in the area of the tongue a small amount of spray. Usually 1-2 pressure is enough. Do this immediately before going to bed. After that, a full 8-hour sleep without snoring is provided to you.

Spray "Stop Hrap Nano" has all the same components as the previous drug from snoring, and, accordingly, has the same effect. They differ, apparently, only by packing. So there is not much to choose from, the effect in both cases will be the same.

American snoring sprays

The above-mentioned funds do not inspire confidence because of the lack of specific data about the manufacturer? Beware of "Chinese" counterfeits of dubious quality? Well, let's take a look at sprays from an American-made ronhopathy, the full details of which are on official US websites.

Any American spray from snoring, which will be discussed here, has certificates confirming its authenticity. All herbal sprays are developed by certain American pharmaceutical companies with a long history of associations in the supervision of the quality of natural products.

Herbal sprays "Snorezip" and "SnoreX" relieve the symptoms of snoring due to liquefaction of nasal secretions and improvement of oxygen supply to the body. "SnoreStop" has a double action: anti-inflammatory and purifying mucous from accumulation.

Assign these sprays in the event that the snoring is caused by infectious or allergic rhinitis or there are chronic diseases of the nasopharynx.

Snoreeze Snore Spray is also a double-acting preparation containing natural ingredients. It moisturizes and tones the surface of the pharynx and tongue, strengthening the sore muscles of the nasopharynx.

It is sprayed directly deep into the throat region by a convenient diffuser tip (as at "Ingalipt") located at 90 on  to the bottle. For spraying, the bottle is turned upside down.

Spray anti-snoring "Nytol" has a structure, action and method of use, similar to the previous drug. But it has a longer progressive effect.

Its effectiveness is clinically proven and is 92 percent out of 100. But it also has certain contraindications to use: an allergy to peanuts and soy, as well as the presence of asthmatic manifestations.

Pharmaceutical products from snoring

If you are not a fan of online shopping and are not inclined to trust the correspondence assurances of foreign manufacturers and the promises of domestic distributors, pharmacy products from snoring are just what you need.

Spray from snoring "Silence" (in the original "Silence") is patented in Belgium, but Ireland and the United States are also engaged in its production. This product has all the certificates of conformity, is clinically tested and is available for sale in many pharmacies.

Pharmacodynamics. The therapeutic effect is produced by injecting into the throat of a special mucoadhesive foam that is capable of sticking to the throat, providing a lasting effect. The foam is formed by means of a special spray nozzle. The drug envelops the surface of the pharynx and reduces the vibration of the muscles of the soft palate and the tongue, which is the cause of snoring. "Silence" normalizes the respiratory cycle, removes the allergic or infectious edema of the pharynx and bronchus caused by their inflammation, has a noticeable emollient effect, which prevents drying and choking in the throat.

Side effects of the drug in the form of a noticeable dryness of the oral mucosa may be manifested in the initial stages of treatment. But they do not require the withdrawal of the drug, but only indicate that the remedy is beginning to act. Usually in 2-3 days everything is normalized.

"Silence" is a medicinal product of a sufficiently broad spectrum of action. He is the only one who has apnea treatment in his indications.

The composition of the drug contains soy extract, so it is better to abandon it if you have an intolerance of soy or peanuts in your history. Also contraindications to use are bronchial asthma and hypersensitivity to various components of the spray from snoring.

"Slipex" ("SLEEPEX") is another effective pharmaceutical product, the purpose of which is to gradually reduce the intensity of snoring until complete cure. This vegetable spray, the main active ingredients of which are essential oil of mint, extract from eucalyptus (eucalyptol), menthol and methyl salicylate.

Pharmacodynamics. Thanks to its constituent spray from snoring, "Slipex" has an anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effect. Mint and eucalyptus act as an analgesic and antiseptic component, and methyl salicylate has an anti-inflammatory and toning effect on the muscles of the nasopharynx. Such a wide action of the components of the spray makes it possible to use it both to reduce the symptoms of rohnopathy and to treat inflammatory processes in the throat as part of complex therapy.

Side effects of the drug are extremely rare in the form of minor allergic reactions to components. An overdose of the drug can manifest itself in the form of nausea and headache, not requiring treatment in the hospital. Nevertheless, we remind that doctors do not advise using this remedy for snoring pregnant women and children under 18 years old.

The way of application and dose of sprays from snoring. Both of the above drugs are used daily before going to bed. The drugs are sprayed onto the back of the pharynx. The usual dose is 2-3 clicks on the nebulizer.

Medicinal preparation in the form of a spray "Avamis" doctors appoint in the event that the snoring is caused exclusively by an allergic rhinitis. It has a pronounced anti-inflammatory, as well as sufficient anti-histamine action.

Pharmacokinetics. The drug is excreted mostly through the intestines, as well as (a small part) through the kidneys. The active substance - fluticasone furoate - does not accumulate in the blood and tissues in quantities presenting a danger to the health of the patient. It is approved for use by patients with impaired liver and kidney function and for the treatment of children from the age of 2 years.

The drug is applied nasally. To treat snoring, a sufficient dose - 2 injections through the nose. Preliminary it is necessary to clean the nasal passages.

The drug "Avamis" has some unpleasant side effects. So among the often occurring bleeding from the nose (especially with prolonged use), the appearance of sores on the nasal mucosa is rare. The mucosal edema, allergic reactions.

Caution should be used this tool for people with severe liver damage.

The shelf life of sprays from snoring is 3 years from the date of release. Storage conditions are normal, as for most medicines: temperature to 25 о С, do not freeze. Keep out of reach of children.

And again about snoring sprays

In principle, this is all that can be said about anti-snoring sprays. But using this production of pharmacological industry, it is worth considering that these drugs (with rare exceptions) do not cure apnea, and also can not cope with fat deposits in the soft palate tissue, the presence of which is associated with obesity. In the latter case, there is a need to treat not snoring, but its cause, but by other methods, you can learn about which only after consulting a doctor with a therapist and endocrinologist, and, if necessary, with a nutritionist.

Similarly, sprays from ronhopathy can not correct the curved septum in the nose and other congenital pathologies that cause night snoring. This is done by the relevant specialists.

Spray from snoring is not a panacea for all diseases causing such an unpleasant symptom. At the same time, most funds have a considerable cost and not a long-term effect. In order to permanently get rid of snoring, or rather from the cause that causes it, in some cases it is necessary to consult not one doctor, but sometimes even surgical treatment. So before doing self-medication, it is worth a hundred times to think about its appropriateness.
