The drug is considered effective and can be used as part of the complex treatment of diseases of the respiratory system. Depending on the symptomatology and accompanying deviations, the patient's treatment regimen may differ, it is determined during the diagnosis.

Release form of the drug Tizin Expert

The pharmacological agent is available for purchase in various pharmacies in the form of a spray intended for intranasal administration. It is a liquid without color and a pronounced aroma, packaged in small plastic bottles of 10 ml.

Each bottle comes with a special nozzle that allows you to properly spray the medicine into the nasal passage. The container is placed in a small cardboard box, in which you can also find a detailed description. Its study allows you to prevent the development of complications during therapy.

The lack of a pronounced aroma in the spray makes it possible to use it for patients who are especially sensitive to the chemical constituents of some medicines.

Composition of the preparation

The main ingredient in the composition of the drug is the substance xylometazoline, which provides a therapeutic effect on the tissues of the nasal passages.

The spray contains a small amount of excipients:

• Sodium phosphate dihydrate.
• Sodium hyaluronate.
• Glycerol.
• Sorbitol.
• Sodium chloride.
• Purified water.

These substances provide the correct chemical formula, despite their lack of therapeutic effect on tissues. The concentration of the active ingredient in the spray for children is 0.05%.

Pharmacological properties

Tizin Expert for children is often used due to its high efficiency. The drug has vasoconstrictor properties, helps to eliminate nasal congestion, which is present in many diseases of the upper respiratory tract. Additionally, the agent reduces the amount of mucus that is produced during the progression of the disease. As a result, nasal breathing is significantly facilitated, and there is an acceleration of the process of tissue restoration of the nasal passages. The drug does not affect the body in a complex way, since its component only affects the state of the tissues of the nasal passages.

Pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics

After the ingredients of the composition get on the tissues, the therapeutic effect develops quite quickly. The substance envelops the walls of the nasal passages and leads to the rapid elimination of puffiness.

It helps make breathing easier and reduces the amount of mucus produced. The effect is especially pronounced in severe rhinitis, when saline solutions and other means do not help eliminate congestion.

The spray has a complex local effect:

• Leads to dryness of the mucous membranes of the nasal passages, which allows you to ensure the absence of congestion for some time.
• Prevents edema from re-developing within a few hours. The drug is allowed to be used rarely, since its therapeutic effect persists for a long period.
• It helps to get rid not only of puffiness, but also of tissue redness, which prevents the development of the inflammatory process.
• The excipients of the composition do not have therapeutic properties, but they help to soften the tissues, which prevents increased dryness and irritation with prolonged use.
• The narrowing of the vessels leads to a slight increase in pressure in them, but at the same time their permeability decreases slightly, which prevents the re-development of pronounced edema.

When applied topically, the drug is almost not absorbed into the systemic circulation, which makes it relatively safe for children and adults. Due to the lack of pronounced systemic absorption of substances, pharmacokinetic features cannot be studied.

Experts suggest that prolonged use may increase the concentration of xylometazoline in the blood and its processing in the liver. Excretion is carried out with the help of the kidneys, but if their functioning is impaired, it slows down somewhat. The drug does not accumulate in the blood of patients, as well as in the tissues. This effect is not observed, even with prolonged use at higher doses.

Instructions for use, dosage

The drug is intended for local intranasal administration when certain symptoms appear. The duration of the therapeutic course and the dosage for a particular child is determined taking into account the disease, the severity of its symptoms and the presence of concomitant deviations.

Disease	Features of the use of the drug
Rhinitis against the background of a cold	With such violations, the drug is used in short courses when congestion appears. The standard duration of therapeutic use does not exceed 5 days, but can be individually changed depending on the reaction of tissues to the components of the product. In a day, the introduction of the spray into each nasal passage is repeated 2 times, while the number of injections does not exceed 1 time in each stroke. If during this time the symptoms do not disappear or worsen, the treatment is not prolonged. The specialist cancels therapy, if necessary, prescribes another medication.

Allergic rhinitis	For allergies, special local remedies are usually prescribed, which have not only decongestants, but also anti-allergic properties, that is, they envelop the mucous membranes and increase their resistance to substances, provoking allergies. Tizin Expert does not apply to such drugs, therefore it is prescribed mainly for the purpose of providing first aid in the event of acute edema and associated deviations. The spray is injected into each nasal passage 1 time, no more than 2 times a day, and the duration of the therapeutic application is 3 days.

The absence of redness, irritation, rash, or other reactions is considered a favorable sign. Consultation with a specialist before use is required.

Side effects

In this case, the disorders affect not only the area of ​​application and the skin of the face, but also the mucous membranes, internal organs. A severe course of allergies will certainly provoke systemic disorders.

The most common adverse reactions:

• Headache and dizziness. Children over 3 years old usually talk about such manifestations. Symptoms result from prolonged use of the drug, significant vasoconstriction and circulatory disorders. They usually disappear after refusal of therapy, but in some children they persist, which requires a visit to the doctor.
• Digestive upset. The manifestation occurs against the background of a severe course of allergic reactions, accompanied by indigestion, abdominal pain, nausea and bouts of vomiting. Long-term persistence of symptoms leads to other disorders associated with a lack of normal nutrition and loss of large amounts of fluid. Dehydration associated with repeated vomiting provokes seizures and other neurological disorders.
• Allergy manifests itself with classic symptoms in the form of a rash and skin irritation. Often, the rash spreads not only to the face, but also to other areas of the skin. At the same time, itching intensifies, forcing the child to scratch the affected area and damage the outer layer of the skin. Allergy is aggravated by the addition of edema of the mucous membranes of the eyes, lacrimation, itching of the eyes. Symptoms gradually worsen, especially with continued therapy.

Negative reactions in a child can occur if all recommendations are followed. They are considered a reason for refusing treatment and seeking medical attention. Symptoms often disappear and do not require special treatment. The deterioration of the condition is the reason for the appointment of symptomatic therapy.

Overdose

When applied topically, the drug does not provoke an overdose, since it penetrates into the blood in a minimal amount. But if the drug accidentally gets into the digestive tract, such complications can develop, which threatens the patient's health and life.

In case of an overdose, the general condition may deteriorate, the appearance of severe headache, nausea and vomiting. Upset stools and frequent vomiting cause a large amount of fluid loss, which can lead to severe neurological disorders. Seizures and dysfunction of the brain are common manifestations of dehydration.

In children, body temperature and blood pressure indicators may decrease, which leads to an aggravation of systemic manifestations. The appearance of symptoms of an overdose is considered a reason for immediate medical attention. In most cases, the child is placed in a hospital, after which symptomatic therapy is prescribed, depending on the manifestations.

The drug does not have a specific antidote, therefore, if it gets inside and an overdose develops, it is allowed to take activated charcoal, wash the child's stomach. Depending on the manifestations, the therapy regimen may differ; there is no standard set of drugs to help all patients.
