Is it possible for the emergence of addiction or dependence?

The effect of the drug on the nasal cavity and the human body as a whole depends directly on its composition. Preparations based on natural ingredients are considered safe, they can be used for any time without the threat of addiction. These medicines include homeopathic remedies and sea salt products.

The danger is represented by decongestants - a special group of drugs, mainly selective alpha-adrenergic agonists. They are known for their vasoconstrictor action, due to which they quickly cope with the common cold. Once in the body, they mimic the properties of adrenaline and thus make breathing easier.

Medicines are safe for short-term use, but a long course of treatment can lead to addiction and reduce the effectiveness of therapy. As a result, the runny nose, on the contrary, intensifies, and the active substances can no longer cope with it.

The following components cause the dependency:

• oxymetazoline;
• tramazoline;
• xylometazoline;
• naphazoline.

When using drops with their content, it is important to follow the instructions and not exceed the course established by the manufacturer or the attending physician. If necessary, continue using it is recommended to take a short break and only then return to the drug.

Nasal drops help get rid of allergic rhinitis and eliminate unpleasant symptoms such as itching, sneezing, swelling of the mucous membranes. Before using the drug, it is important to read the instructions and consult your doctor.
