Instructions for use SINUPRET® EXTRACT

Composition of the drug Sinupret

The doctor observing the patient may prescribe the drug Sinupret. This is a combination medicine based on medicinal herbs.

Among the effects that Sinupret has are mucolytic, expectorant and anti-inflammatory. It is often prescribed for colds, sinusitis, sinusitis and sinusitis.

You can find Sinupret in the pharmacy in the form of tablets, oral drops and syrup. Sinupret tablets are prescribed to adults and children as a complex therapy if sinusitis is characterized by the presence of a viscous secretion. Drops and syrup are indicated for children and those who cannot take pills.

Plant components (verbena, primrose, sorrel, black elderberry, gentiana) are highly productive and work well together. This means that they effectively cope with swelling of the mucous membrane and nasal congestion, regulate secretions, normalize sinus ventilation, and stimulate drainage. Thus, Sinupret has a secretomotor, secretolytic and anti-inflammatory effect.

Since Sinupret is based on medicinal herbs, let's look at what effect you can expect from each of them.

Verbena normalizes metabolic processes. It works as a tonic, analgesic, and anti-inflammatory agent. As part of Sinupret, Verbena acts as a component that dilutes viscous secretions, relieves allergic reactions and works as an antispasmodic.

Primrose is included as a sedative, expectorant and antispasmodic. Primrose stimulates secretion, which means that phlegm is eliminated faster.

Sorrel in Sinupret to provide anti-allergic, wound-healing, hemostatic, antiseptic and anti-inflammatory effects.

Black elderberry eliminates swelling of the nasal mucosa. It has a disinfectant and, accordingly, anti-inflammatory effect.

Sinupret copes well with chronic rhinitis

Thus, the complex of herbs in the Sinupret medicine:

• reduces the viscosity of sputum;
• facilitates the process of sputum discharge;
• effectively clears the sinuses of secretions;

• eliminates bronchospasm;
• normalizes the protective function of the respiratory tract epithelium;
• acts as an antiviral and anti-inflammatory agent.

And Sinupret, due to its combined nature, enhances the effectiveness of antibiotic treatment.

Sinupret's plant base provides another important advantage. The drug acts gently, does not cause addiction and has a small list of adverse reactions of the body. Sinupret improves the body's resistance to viruses and bacteria, and is therefore especially recommended for patients with weakened immune systems.

For children

Sinupret effectively relieves symptoms of respiratory tract diseases accompanied by inflammation. But it is worth remembering that the effectiveness of treatment largely depends on diagnosis and clearly followed instructions for use. Especially when Sinupret is prescribed to a child. So, drops are contraindicated for children under 2 years of age. And the pills are for children under 6 years old. For children from 2 to 10 years old, pediatricians and ENT specialists recommend Sinupret in the form of a syrup with a lower alcohol content. It is designed specifically for children.

First aid

A runny nose causes discomfort to the child, disrupts sleep, and increases the risk of complications from the underlying respiratory tract, such as tonsillitis and bronchopulmonary diseases. In infants, nasal congestion makes sucking difficult. Fortunately, children's runny nose is curable; you need to start helping your child at the first symptoms of the disease.

First of all, you need to clean the nasal cavity. For infants, mucus is removed with an aspirator, after dripping a saline solution into each nostril to dilute the secretion. It is advisable for an older child to regularly rinse his nose with special means when he has a runny nose2, even if he already knows how to blow his nose.

With rhinitis, the nasal mucosa is irritated and swollen. To reduce discomfort, it is advisable to soften it with oil solutions of vitamins A and E (if the child does not have intolerance). To reduce swelling of the mucous membrane, you can apply a special ointment with essential oils to the wings of the nose.

Sinupret for sinusitis

Sinupret for sinusitis

If a patient is diagnosed with sinusitis, then Sinupret will most likely be included in complex antibacterial therapy. A prerequisite for recovery in this case is strict adherence to the doctor’s prescription - dosage and duration of treatment. Sinupret does not dry out the nasal mucosa, promotes the removal of secretions and eliminates swelling.

Non-drug treatments

Inhalations. During steam inhalation, particles of the drug are evenly distributed inside the nasal cavity, providing anti-inflammatory, moisturizing and antimicrobial effects. For this purpose, alkaline mineral waters, decoctions and infusions of medicinal plants (calendula, chamomile, sage, linden blossom, pine needles, juniper) are used.

Warming up the paranasal sinuses. This procedure can be started in the first days of a runny nose, if the child does not have an increasing fever, severe intoxication and sinusitis. A warm boiled egg, boiled millet, salt or sand heated in a frying pan can be used. Warming up helps reduce inflammation and swelling of the mucous membrane, improves nasal breathing.

Drink plenty of fluids. Frequently drinking plenty of fluids helps replenish fluid loss, prevents drying out of the nasal mucosa, and stimulates the body to fight intoxication. You can give regular and mineral water, compotes, decoctions, herbal teas, fruit drinks, and natural juices.

Sinupret for otitis media

Also, sometimes Sinupret is prescribed for otitis media. The mechanism of development of acute otitis media is similar to how acute sinusitis is formed. That is, with both otitis and sinusitis, the process of discharge of secretions from the ear or paranasal sinus is disrupted. Sinupret as part of complex therapy for medium-sized patients has proven to be quite effective. It stimulates the liquefaction and removal of secretions, eliminates swelling, and activates air circulation in the middle ear cavity. This produces an anti-inflammatory effect, and the epithelium becomes resistant to infectious agents. Antibacterial therapy is better and more productive.

Analogs

Sinupret, containing a complex of medicinal herbs, is a combination drug. This combination naturally has no structural analogues on the pharmacological market. The pharmacy offers products with a similar therapeutic effect: Tonsilgon. They may have a similar effect, but it is worth remembering that any medicine has not only contraindications and dosage regimen, but also the risk of adverse reactions from the body. Be sure to visit a doctor!

Analogues of the drug Sinupret

For example, Sinupret and Sinupret Forte differ in the duration of exposure and therapeutic effect. Sinupret Forte lasts longer.

Sinupret/Cinnabsin

Cinnabsin, like Sinupret, is used for the therapeutic treatment of sinusitis and sinusitis in acute and chronic forms. But it should not be taken by children under 3 years of age. Cinnabsin is effective as an immunostimulating agent.

Sinupret/Korisalia

Corysalia is a homeopathic medicine that reduces the intensity of inflammatory reactions, reduces rhinorrhea, sneezing, swelling and hyperemia.

Corizalia is prescribed for the symptomatic treatment of rhinitis in adults and children over 2 years of age.

Sinupret/Aflubin

Aflubin is used in the treatment of acute respiratory infections and influenza. Unlike Sinupret, it has fewer contraindications and is easier to tolerate.

Sinupret/Tonsilgon

Tonsilgon is used more widely than Sinupret. So, in addition to the treatment of sinusitis, Tonsilgon is prescribed for throat diseases (tonsillitis, laryngitis, etc.). Unlike Sinupret, Tonsilgon is prescribed to children over 1 year of age. Before replacing Sinupret with an analogue, you should consult a specialist.
