On the other hand, homeopathy is still not recognized by classical medicine. Among the medical community, reviews of homeopathic remedies are far from clear.

For a long time, traditional medicine, and even ordinary citizens, were suspicious of various homeopathic remedies. However, homeopathy does not stand still, it is developing and creating more and more effective and efficient drugs. In this regard, confidence in them, of course, increases.

Nasal drops

The main idea of homeopathy is like to like. That is, it proceeds from the assumption that substances that, in large doses, lead to certain symptoms, in small doses will fight these symptoms.

Description of the drug and composition

Euphorbium composatum is a complex of eight components, both plant and mineral origin.

They are mixed in equal proportions, and together they have the most beneficial effect on the condition of the mucous membrane. In addition, the drug helps improve local immunity.

Euphorbium compositum is available in three different forms:
injection;

spray;

However, these three forms are intended specifically to treat runny nose and nasal congestion.

Usually you can find a spray in pharmacies, but you can easily find drops and an injection solution.

The drug has a very positive effect on the condition of the mucous membrane: moisturizes it, promotes normal metabolism in it, and relieves swelling. In addition, the components of this product help improve local immunity.

Thanks to these properties, Euphorbium compositum helps cope with chronic rhinitis, relieves acute conditions, helps prevent infection or shortens the course of the disease. It also helps alleviate the condition of allergic patients. The effect of this drug accumulates more slowly compared to vasoconstrictor drugs - 3-5 days

. But it also persists for quite a long period.

Using Euphorbium compositum drops and spray is very simple. For children from 4 to 6 years old, drop (or spray) into the nose once 3-4 times a day. For children over 6 years of age and adults, the dose is different: 1-2 doses 3-5 times a day.

Important! Remember that Euphorbium compositum helps get rid of nasal congestion, moisturize the mucous membrane and relieve swelling, increases local immunity, but does not fight infections.

It is recommended to use the drug Euorbium compositum for sinusitis, allergies, chronic and atrophic rhinitis. However, do not forget that this drug can only be used in combination with other medications.

Euphorbium compositum drops

As a contraindication, the instructions mention only individual intolerance to the components and age under 4 years. And the latter is due to the lack of clinical studies of the drug in children.

Important! Euphorbium compositum should be used with caution by those who have problems with the thyroid gland, since the medicine contains iodine.

Pregnancy

Euphorbium compositum should be used with caution during pregnancy, as with other medications. It should not cause any harm to either the mother or the child, and yet it is better not to take it without consulting a doctor.

In the end, each woman experiences pregnancy individually, and even the second and third pregnancies of the same woman will not proceed in the same way. You never know what exactly will cause certain problems.

Before using any form of release, you should definitely go to a specialist. When used correctly, they help cope with problems, but when used incorrectly, they only aggravate the condition. The interaction between the doctor and the patient is the key to the patient’s recovery.

How to take for various forms of sinusitis?

Euphorbium is perfect for treating children and adults. For adult patients, the dosage is selected individually. It is necessary to take into account the age, height, and body weight of the patient. The presence of concomitant diseases is also important.

Both adults and children use Euphorbium under the supervision of a competent homeopathic physician. Otherwise, instead of the desired effect, unpleasant consequences may appear. Only cooperation between doctor and patient will allow a person to be cured quickly.

It is also very important to take into account the information written in the instructions. It is usually placed in a box with the drug. It is not advisable to throw away the instructions. It is necessary to familiarize yourself with the contents of this document in order for the drug to have the desired effect.

Use of the drug Euphorbium by children

For the treatment of sinusitis (acute and chronic), children are advised to use standard doses. A doctor can prescribe this remedy to a patient at least 4 years old. Dosage of Euphorbium for children:

one dose three times - four times a day - up to 6 years (one pea or ten drops);
after the age of six - two doses three times a day (morning, afternoon and evening) or five times a day.

Before starting treatment, the child should be shown to the pediatrician. You also need to consider what medications the little patient is already taking. Not all medicines are compatible with Euphorbium, especially homeopathic ones.

Use during pregnancy and breastfeeding

When feeding infants and during pregnancy, the use of Euphorbium and other homeopathic remedies is allowed. However, it is important to make sure that the woman does not have an individual intolerance to this medicine for the treatment of inflammation of the ENT organs. The composition of the drug is absolutely safe for pregnancy: it will not harm the development of the child.

However, self-medication during breastfeeding or pregnancy is unacceptable. Monitoring by a doctor will reduce the risk of complications.

Some people may be allergic to components of Euphorbium. Also, side effects of the drug occur with the wrong dosage. These include:

burning sensation in the nasal cavity;
spasms in the bronchi;

Interaction with other medications

Use cautiously with thyroid medications. The use of Euphorbium compositum in this situation should be approached responsibly, because it contains iodine. Combination with other homeopathic remedies is also undesirable, so as not to aggravate the symptoms.

Euphorbium compositum is a homeopathic medicine from the German company Heel, intended for use in otorhinolaryngological practice for rhinitis and sinusitis. Today on the Russian pharmaceutical market there are many medicines for the treatment of the runny nose - drops, sprays, ointments, etc. They contain potent substances: glucocorticosteroids, sympathomimetics, substances with antihistamine activity. Without denying their effectiveness, it is necessary to note the significant number of side effects they cause, which significantly limit their use in ENT practice. A fundamentally different picture is observed with homeopathic medicines and, in particular, with Euphorbium compositum nasal spray. This drug is not for immediate effect, but to act directly on the cause of the disease and, ultimately, for complete healing of the patient. Its action is determined by the multicomponent composition:

Euphorbia resiniferous. Reduces the severity of inflammation in the upper parts of the respiratory tract, relieves irritation, discomfort (dryness, burning) and pain due to infectious lesions of the mucous membranes;

Meadow lumbago. Effective for inflammation of the middle ear, pharynx, and upper parts of the bronchial tree. Relieves irritation and discomfort;

Luffa covered. Used for allergic rhinitis;

Mercury diiodide. Eliminates inflammation of the nasopharynx, pharynx, tonsils, incl. with copious exudate;

Sulfur calcium liver. It is used to relieve inflammation of the middle ear, abscess of the tonsils, and prevents purulent manifestations;

Silver nitrate. Copes well with lesions of the mucous membranes of the pharynx, conjunctiva, and middle ear;

Nasal mucosa. Used for chronic inflammation of the paranasal sinuses, polyps;

Sinusitis nosode. Effective for sinusitis, adenoiditis, so-called. "fetid runny nose."

Euphorbium compositum has anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, anti-exudative, decongestant, immunomodulatory and antiviral (including

h. direct) action. The drug does not contain antibiotics, vasoconstrictors, antihistamines and hormonal drugs, which increases its safety profile, improves tolerability, and minimizes the risk of unwanted side effects. Euphorbium compositum is indicated for use in pediatric practice in patients over 2 years of age. It can also be used in elderly people and patients with concomitant diseases. Homeopathic medicines from Heel are widely used in more than 60 countries around the world. Euphorbium compositum is the only remedy of its kind, the action of which is aimed primarily not at narrowing the blood vessels of the nose and/or reducing the permeability of their walls, but at restoring the affected mucous membrane. The drug is also effective as a means of preventing acute respiratory infections and influenza. It is equally effective for acute and chronic diseases. Euphorbium compositum does not cause spastic contraction of the vascular walls of the blood vessels of the nose and does not lead to drying out of the mucous membranes. With prolonged use of the drug, there is no weakening of its effect caused by addiction. Euphorbium compositum combines well with other drugs and has no undesirable pharmacological interactions. It has no age or gender restrictions. There are no contraindications to its use, with the exception of cases of individual intolerance and children under 2 years of age. The only possible side effect is rare allergic reactions and cases of hypersalivation (increased salivation). You should be aware that at the initial stage of taking the drug, a temporary deterioration in the patient’s condition is possible (the so-called primary deterioration). In the words of Elena Malysheva, “this is the norm.” Cases of overdose with homeopathic medicines are practically excluded; however, it is recommended to adhere to the daily doses stated by the manufacturer in the instructions for use.
