Lugol's solution - dosage and use for diseases of the ENT organs

Allergic reactions in the form of rash, itching and even Quincke's edema are possible. The urinary system may also be affected. Interstitial nephritis is possible.

Overdose

There are people who believe that the more medicine is used, the more benefit it will bring. This is a dangerous misconception. An overdose of this drug can lead to vomiting, headaches, diarrhea and an anxious nervous state.

Symptom relief is the same as for overdoses of other drugs. Drinking too much, creating acidic urine, calling emergency services. But in practice, people who followed the correct dosage did not experience any symptoms.

Interaction with other drugs

Normax is incompatible with many medications. When used together with drugs that lower blood pressure, it enhances their effect. Therefore, such a combination is possible only under the supervision of a doctor.

When used with theophylline, it reduces its clearance by 25%, so the dose of the drug is reduced.

When used with drugs containing iron, magnesium or calcium, you should increase the intervals between using Normas drops. With this combination, the ability to quickly absorb the drug is lost.

Normas increases the concentration of cyclosporine in the blood when taken simultaneously.

Reduces the effect of other antibacterial agents.

Pregnancy and lactation

Ear disease is not uncommon in pregnant women. In later stages, the auditory tube becomes compacted. This phenomenon is common, but, nevertheless, it can become a prerequisite for the further development of the disease. During pregnancy, any disease should be treated at the earliest possible stage. Since many medications are not recommended for use in the situation.

The swollen nasal mucosa becomes a favorable environment for the proliferation of pathogenic bacteria. This is what happens in drafts or when a pregnant woman is slightly hypothermic. After this, otitis media appears, which without treatment very quickly turns into purulent. Mothers who breastfeed their children have weakened immune systems. Therefore, ear diseases are also not uncommon among them.

Normas drops are not recommended during pregnancy. But if there is no other way out, then you should not drip them. You need to wet and place the tundra in your ear.

Reviews about Normax

People tend not to always trust instructions unconditionally. For some reason, they believe more in what other people who have already tried its effects say about the drug.

Anna is 26 years old. The first time I encountered otitis media. The pain was wild. I thought I couldn’t wait until morning to run to the doctor. The doctor prescribed Normax drops. I bought them right away. I didn’t have much hope, since the price was low, and my ear hurt very badly. But the house started to drip. At first every 2 hours, as recommended by the doctor. By evening the pain became bearable. The next day, the breaks between drops were increased to 4 hours. My ear practically didn’t hurt, but I could hardly hear either. 4 days later I went for an appointment. She explained that nothing hurt, her ear was dry, but she could barely hear. The doctor said to continue dripping. I did so. Three days later I woke up in the morning and realized that I was hearing. Thanks to Normax for curing my illness for only 167 rubles.

Ivan is 31 years old. Throughout my childhood I suffered from colds and ear infections. The ENT has always been my best friend. Over time, I grew up, and so did my otitis media. It became chronic. Every fall and spring I writhe in agony. One of the doctors recommended Normas as a preventative during colds. I drip it 2-3 times a year, during periods of epidemics. I'll give it a week. And for the second year now I have no problems. I advise everyone to keep this product in their home medicine cabinet. Moreover, it also helps with eye problems.

Nina is 40 years old. When we decided to move far from home, we thought about various problems, but I couldn’t think about the fact that because of the climate change I would get colds that constantly turned into purulent otitis media. How much I suffered until not the doctor, but a neighbor recommended these drops. I liked Normas right away. The price is affordable, available without a prescription, the treatment helps from the first day. Now I always keep it in my medicine cabinet. At the very first sign of a cold, I start dripping it. And two colds have already gone away without otitis media.

Augmentin 400 - powder for preparing a suspension: purpose and application features

Alla is 30 years old. In our small town, it’s a problem to find a doctor during the day, and even more so at night. The child woke up with ear pain. He is only 6 and I didn’t know how to help. It was scary to use any means; they could harm the child’s body. There was Normax in the first aid kit. My husband treated his eye after metal shavings. I read the instructions, it says that it is not recommended for children. But there was no choice. We decided that we would drip. After the second procedure, the child fell asleep. In the morning he said that there was a clicking sound in his ear, but nothing hurt. Maybe I did the wrong thing, but I saved the child from pain. By the way, after a visit to the doctor, he allowed me to continue taking Normax until the end of the course. That's what we did. And so far nothing worries us.

Ekaterina is 32 years old. Mom's ear hurt. By morning, some liquid flowed out of it. She flatly refused to go to the doctor; she had to cover 50 km, and her mother was already over 80. The local paramedic recommended Normax drops. We bought it and did not regret it. After just 2 days, mom was as good as new. The drops really help. And they even managed without the use of additional medications. I am very grateful to our paramedic; I don’t know what we would do with a stubborn mother, because she wouldn’t go to the doctor anyway. I bought another bottle. Once opened, it can only be stored for 30 days, and not opened for 2 years. Let there be a useful bottle in the first aid kit.
