Vial

Vial contains the active ingredient tetrizolin, which has a decongestant and antiallergic effect. After local use, the drug stimulates the activity of α-adrenoreceptors of the autonomic NS, leading to vasoconstriction and weakening of tissue swelling. The drug reduces burning, soreness, irritation, tearing and itching.

Vasoconstrictor medication begins after a few minutes from the moment of use. Drug effect lasts up to 4 hours.

Vial does not change the size of the pupil.

Overdose

If you follow all instructions and recommendations overdose medication is impossible. But in young children there is an increased likelihood of tetrizoline poisoning associated with systemic absorption due to accidental ingestion of the drug.

Intoxication can lead to an increase in blood pressure, mydriasis, tachycardia, nausea, respiratory disorders and disorders of the nervous function. The absorption of large amounts of imidazole derivatives, which have α-sympathomimetic activity, may cause suppression of the central nervous system, as a result of which bradycardia, drowsiness or hypothermia develops.

If the drops are accidentally swallowed, gastric lavage should be performed and activated charcoal should be given to the patient; In addition, oxygen therapy is performed and anticonvulsants are administered. Symptomatic procedures are also prescribed. The antidote is missing.
