Bioparox with genyantema

The most common drug that is prescribed for sinusitis is the Bioparox spray, which is an anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial agent. Let us consider in more detail how to use it for inflammation of the sinuses of the nose.

How does Bioparox treat sinusitis?

The active substance of the medicine Bioparox is fusafungin, which is a polypeptide antibiotic.

It is able to have a bacteriostatic effect on a fairly extensive spectrum of bacteria with a positive and negative Gram staining, as well as some fungi. Penetrating inside the cells of the microorganism, the drug breaks their integrity, as a result of which the microbe loses its ability to multiply, produce toxins, migrate, although it does not die.

In addition, Bioparox when instilled in the nose removes inflammation of the mucosa and sinuses, which accelerates recovery.

When will Bioparox help?

Prescribe the drug should only be a doctor, and that's why. Sinusitis is an inflammation of the maxillary sinus, which is connected with the nose by narrow joints. During a cold caused by colds, viruses can penetrate through the anastomoses into the sinuses. Because of the inflammation, the channels will overlap, and the mucus will stop moving away - in this case they talk about sinusitis. So, if the inflammation is caused by a virus, the antibiotic is useless and even harmful. And treatment of a common cold with Bioparox is also unjustified.

At the same time, a bacterial or fungal infection can join a viral infection, and then the drug will come in handy. It is effective against staphylococcus (including golden staphylococci), various groups of streptococci, clostridia, moracella, listeria and other microbes, as well as Candida fungi and mycoplasmas.

Determine the nature of sinusitis (viral or bacterial) can only the doctor, taking a swab from the nose. Therefore, it is impossible to prescribe for yourself Bioparox in case of a cold.

Application of Bioparox

The drug is sold in the form of a spray with nozzles. It acts locally, without penetrating either into the bloodstream or into the digestive tract.

As the instruction says, Bioparox at a genyantritis use so:

1. The nose should be cleaned.
2. On the bottle put on a special nozzle for the nose (in the kit there is a cap and for irrigation of throat with pharyngitis ).
3. Insert the nozzle into one nostril.
4. Press the second nostril with your finger and close your mouth.
5. Taking a slow breath, press the vial.

Thus the patient will feel, how the medicine has got into a nose. In one nostril four injections are made, the same is repeated with the second nostril.

Caps should be cleaned with alcohol before re-irrigation.

Precautionary measures

Like any antibiotic, the medicine Bioparox is addictive, because of which bacteria lose sensitivity to it. Special quickly this process occurs if the dosage of the drug is increased. Inhalations are performed no more often than once every four hours, and treatment should not last more than 7 days. Do not stop therapy after the first signs of improvement - the course should be completed, otherwise the probability of relapse is high.

In pregnancy, treatment of sinusitis with bioparox is prescribed only in exceptional cases, although in fact the effect of this medication on the body of a future mother is not investigated. It is assumed that the agent does not penetrate the placenta, however, accurate data have not yet been obtained on this score.

Side effects

In rare cases, the spray can cause burning in the nose, cough, asthma attack or bronchospasm, itchy skin and rash, nausea, lacrimation. When these symptoms appear, Bioparox is canceled.

The medicine is forbidden to give to children younger than 2.5 years (like any sprays!), As well as people with increased sensitivity to fusafungin.
