Pharmacological properties
Pharmacodynamics
Tetrizoline contributes to the narrowing of small arterioles localized in the nasal passages, which ensures the elimination of edema and hyperemia of the mucous membranes and a decrease in secretion. The drug restores the patency of the nasal passages and facilitates nasal breathing. The effect of the drug appears 1 minute after its application and lasts up to 8 hours.
Pharmacokinetics
When applied topically, tetrizoline is practically not absorbed, therefore its content in blood plasma is negligible.
Indications for use
According to the instructions, Tizin is indicated to reduce swelling of the nasal mucosa with sinusitis, rhinitis, pharyngitis, hay fever, and to carry out therapeutic or diagnostic measures.
Contraindications
- angle-closure glaucoma;
- dry rhinitis;
- hypersensitivity to the components of the drug.
Application in pediatrics: drops of 0.05% Tizine are contraindicated for children under 2 years of age, drops of 0.1% - for children under 6 years of age.
With extreme caution, after carefully comparing the benefits of therapy and the possible risk to the patient, Tizine should be prescribed for severe cardiovascular pathologies (including arterial hypertension, coronary heart disease, arrhythmia, pheochromocytoma, aneurysm), metabolic disorders (including diabetes mellitus, hyperthyroidism), concomitant use of monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAO) and other drugs that increase blood pressure; during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Instructions for the use of Tizin: method and dosage
Tizin drops are intended for instillation into the nasal passage, the procedure is carried out in each nostril.
The action of the drug lasts up to 8 hours, therefore, more than once every 4 hours, instillation should not be carried out.
Recommended dosage:
- drops 0.05%: children aged 2-6 years - 2-3 drops 3-4 times a day;
- drops 0.1%: patients over 6 years old - 2-4 drops 3-5 times a day.
Duration of treatment: children - no more than 3 days, adults - up to 5 days.
After a few days of interruption, the course of therapy can be repeated.
Side effects
- systemic disorders: weakness, headache, nausea, insomnia, sweating, tremors, increased blood pressure (BP), palpitations, allergic reactions;
- local disorders: burning sensation of the nasal mucosa, reactive hyperemia; against the background of prolonged use - chronic swelling of the nasal mucosa, dry rhinitis; frequent use in high doses - dry nasal mucosa, development of reactive edema, rhinitis medicamentosa.
Overdose
An overdose or accidental oral intake of Tizin drops can lead to symptoms such as depression of the respiratory center, dilated pupils, increased or decreased blood pressure, irregular heart rhythms, nausea, vomiting, headache, severe dizziness, fever, shortness of breath, increased sweating, cyanosis, convulsive seizures, collapse, coma. Also, in some cases, there are signs of CNS depression.
As therapeutic measures, gastric lavage, intake of activated carbon, artificial respiration, accompanied by the introduction of oxygen, are recommended. To lower blood pressure, phentolamine is slowly administered intravenously at a dose of 5 mg in saline, or it is taken in tablet form at a dose of 100 mg.
special instructions
Tizine should be used for a short time.
Nasal congestion throughout the night is relieved by a single application of the drops before going to bed. Because tetrizoline has an effect on the central nervous system (CNS), using it before bed can cause insomnia.
Ingestion of drops increases the risk of systemic side effects in young children.
Excessive systemic absorption of the drug can cause depression of the central nervous system, manifested by a decrease in body temperature, drowsiness, hypotension, bradycardia, apnea, coma.
Influence on the ability to drive vehicles and complex mechanisms
With long-term treatment with Tizin, or its use in doses higher than recommended, the risk of developing a systemic effect of tetrizoline cannot be excluded. In the case of diagnosing systemic side effects, it is necessary to avoid driving vehicles and performing other potentially hazardous work that require increased concentration and immediate psychomotor reactions.
Application during pregnancy and lactation
The use of Tizin in pregnant and lactating women is allowed only if the intended benefits of treatment significantly outweigh the potential risks to the fetus or child.
Pediatric use
Contraindications Tizin for children: 0.05% drops for children under 2 years old, 0.1% drops - for children under 6 years old.
Drug interactions
