Allergodil: analogues and reviews about them

Most people look forward to the onset of spring, as they have this time of the year associated with beauty, warmth. However, in those who suffer from seasonal allergies, the approach of spring days causes completely opposite emotions. After all, the color of plants can turn life into a real hard labor. Tear and constant nasal congestion significantly impair the quality of life of the patient. Therefore, it is so important to know what drugs will help to remove the symptoms of allergic rhinitis and conjunctivitis. Most often in such situations prescribe the drug "Allergoodil". Analogues of medication can also help with different manifestations of allergy, but here are some of them that are better, let's try to figure it out.

How does the medicine "Allergodil" work?

Being a strong antiallergic agent, the drug is used to treat year-round and seasonal riconjunctivitis and allergic rhinitis. In addition to prolonged antihistamine action, it has a pronounced membrane-stabilizing and anti-inflammatory effect. Azelastine, which is the main active ingredient of the drug, inhibits the release and synthesis of mediators of the allergic reaction, and also rapidly reduces the number of eosinophilic cells and ICAM-1 (molecular adhesion cells).

In addition, the results of clinical studies show that the drug in the recommended calculated doses significantly slows down the induced FAT and leukotrienes bronchospasm.

Indications

Its use of "Allergoodil" found in both ophthalmology and otolaryngology. The drug in the form of a nasal spray is prescribed for allergic rhinitis. Also, it is effective for vasomotor rhinitis, the clinical manifestations of which are rhinorrhea, nasal congestion, postnatal syndrome and sneezing.

As for the drug in the form of drops, the use is advisable as a treatment and prevention of allergic conjunctivitis (both seasonal and non-seasonal).

Side effects

Like other medicines, the "Allergoodil" remedy can cause side reactions of the body. So, against the background of the use of the drug in the form of a spray, signs of irritation of the nasal mucosa may appear: sneezing, burning, small bleeding. In isolated cases of the drug, rash, itching, hives, dizziness and weakness are noted . It is worth noting that, like the "Allergodil" (nasal spray), the analogs have a lot of side effects.

With regard to the use of medicines in the form of drops, it is possible to increase tear and eye sensitivity, irritation, swelling, redness, dry eyelids, blepharitis. In some cases, a change in the color gamut of the conjunctival membrane is noted.

In addition, regardless of the form of the drug used, in some patients fix dysgeusia, dry skin and dyspnea.

The preparation "Alomid"

With seasonal conjunctivitis, the doctor can prescribe the medicine "Allergoodil". Analogues in the form of drops, which are based on another active substance, are characterized by an identical mechanism of action on the human body. So, for example, a specialist after examining the patient's eyes can recommend the "Alomid" remedy.

The preparation is available only in the form of eye drops. As the main active substance, it uses lodoxamide, which stabilizes the membranes of mast cells. In addition, the agent inhibits the release of histamine, thereby suppressing hypersensitivity reactions.

And what do patients think about the preparation "Alomid"?

Along with a large number of positive reviews about the drug "Alomid" there is a list of negative opinions on this matter. And almost all of them are based on the fact that the effect of treatment is observed only after a few days. Therefore, many after one or two days of drug use are outraged that their condition has not improved. They arbitrarily stop treatment and replace the drug with another.

In addition, negative feedback about the drug is also due to the fact that when using drops, the patient experiences not only significant discomfort, but also painful sensations. Such problems do not arise with the use of the drug "Allergodil" - eye drops have a painless effect on the mucous membrane of the eye.

Medication Zaditen

Another means, which is similar to the mechanism of action with the drug "Allergodil", is Zaditen. To date, it is presented to the consumer in three main forms: tablets, syrup and eye drops. Ketotifen is used as the main active ingredient.

But as for the indications for use, then, like the drug "Allergodil", eye drops "Zaditen" is prescribed to patients suffering from allergic conjunctivitis. Ketotifen effectively blocks the release reactions from mast cells of substances that participate in the inflammatory process (prostaglandins, leukotriene, histamines), and is also responsible for the stabilization of the membranes of these cells.

It is worth noting that not only the drug Allergodil, drops of analogues, in particular Zaditen, also prevent the development of an allergic reaction by immediate type.

Reviews about the drug

Due to its quick action, the "Zaditen" tool today has received a lot of positive feedback from both doctors and grateful patients. An important role in this reputation was played by the fact that the medicine, although it has a lot of side effects, appears only in 1-2% of cases.

Despite the fact that the drug effectively and quickly copes with an allergic reaction, it is not recommended to apply it without the appointment of a doctor. After all, only a specialist, having familiarized himself with the patient's medical history, can correctly choose a medicine in each specific case.

"Opatanol"

Like the medicine "Allergodil", analogues, such as eye drops "Opatanol", are prescribed for allergic conjunctivitis.

The active substance of this medication is olopatadine, which inhibits the release of inflammatory mediators from mast cells .

Patient Reviews

Due to the fact that the local effect comes in 5-7 minutes and lasts 11-12 hours, reviews about the drug are most flattering. However, it is impossible to say that patients who are unhappy with the use of the medicine are not allowed.

Opinion of patients about the preparation

Allergic conjunctivitis is a disease that significantly impairs the quality of a person's life. Therefore, each patient seeks to get rid of the clinical manifestations of the disease as soon as possible. Applying eye drops "Iphyril", unfortunately, quickly achieve a therapeutic effect will not work. That is why many patients negatively speak about the drug.

However, there are those who have completed the full course of treatment with a medication, and received a noticeable clinical effect.

The medicine "Tizin"

In acute allergic rhinitis patients are recommended to use drugs that remove the swelling of the mucous membranes. Such a medicine is not only the medicine "Allergodil" (spray). Analogues, such as the "Tizin", can also cope with the task.

In addition, the medicament has an extensive list of side effects. So, in 5% of cases, patients complain of a headache, in 1-3% there is a cough, shortness of breath, blurred vision, lacrimation, nausea, myalgia, etc. It is because of the large number of side effects that reviews about the drug are not the best.
