Injections from allergies: features, types, composition and reviews

In this article, we suggest that you consider injections from allergies. What are the varieties, which is better to take in a particular case. You will learn all this after reading the article until the very end.

Allergy always takes us by surprise when we do not expect it at all. Sometimes it is necessary to eliminate its symptoms immediately, because they can have a mortal danger. In this we will help the treatment of allergies by injections. It is more effective if the symptoms need to be eliminated immediately.

Allergy

We suggest starting our article with the very concept of "allergy". This is a process that is considered immunopathological. It manifests if any allergen has entered the body.

How it can manifest itself:

• Pain in the eyes;
• Edema;
• Coryza;
• rash;
• Sneezing;
• Cough and so on.

Injections from allergies are the fastest way to eliminate unpleasant symptoms. Now we will give some attention to the reasons for such a frequent manifestation of allergic reactions. Note that in the last ten years the allergy begins to occur most often. Why is this happening? There are several theories:

• The effect of hygiene;
• Development of the chemical industry.

The first theory appeared in 1998. It is based on the fact that if you follow the rules of hygiene, people are less in contact with antigens. This statement is not verbatim, because it is verified by experience. People who live in third world countries are less susceptible to allergies.

The second theory is based on the consumption of products of the chemical industry, which can act as allergens. They can cause an allergic reaction due to impaired functioning of the nervous system or endocrine.

Ways of getting rid of

Cure allergy completely impossible. Why? Everything is very simple, because it is the reaction of a particular organism to an allergen, which in nature is incredible.

Proceeding from this, the treatment is reduced to the following:

• Find out what exactly is the allergy;
• Eliminate (isolate) the allergen;
• If necessary, take a drug that eliminates allergy symptoms.

There are many such drugs. The best and fastest way is injections from allergies. They can be both intramuscular and intravenous.

You need to know that an allergy can be a serious threat to life. It is necessary to help the patient in time:

• Immediately call an ambulance;
• Release the victim from close clothing;
• Give the drug for allergies;
• If the reaction does not pass, then inject;
• If the patient has lost breath and palpitations, urgently spend resuscitation.

The main thing in this situation is not to be nervous, because the life of another person depends on you. Next, we'll look at the names of the drugs and how to use them.

Injections

In this section, injections from allergies will be considered, which are the most effective way to eliminate allergy symptoms, sometimes very life-threatening.

Over the years, the number of people suffering from allergies is only growing, this is due to a variety of factors. This reaction can be caused by absolutely any allergen, and the symptoms of the disease are incredibly agonizing.

It should be borne in mind that to reduce the severity of symptoms and to reduce the likelihood of a second reaction, you need to undergo a special course of treatment. However, it is impossible to completely get rid of allergies.

Very effective treatment with the help of various injections, they can differ greatly in their composition. Despite this, they carry one main function - reducing the body's reaction to allergens. Such injections include:

• "Diprospan";
• "Prednisolone";
• "Suprastin";
• "Ruzam";
• "Dexamethasone";
• "Medopred" and many others.

Now we will classify all antihistamines. This division is very easy to remember, because it consists of two points. All antihistamines (including injections) are divided into two types:

• Hormonal;
• Nonhormonal.

Further we suggest to get acquainted with each of the species. We will tell you how they differ and list the most popular ones.

Hormonal preparations

It is important to understand that hormonal drugs should be prescribed strictly by the attending physician. They are used, if necessary:

• Urgently remove the severe form of allergy;
• Interrupt the long-term manifestations of allergies.

Here it is important to mention that these drugs have just a lot of contraindications, which the doctor can tell you. Do not make a decision about hormone treatment yourself. They can be prescribed only by your doctor, in advance stipulating with you the side effects and complications.

The names of injections from allergies (hormonal):

• "Prednisolone";
• "Dexamethasone" and others.

They can immediately remove a severe manifestation of an allergic reaction. They are used in anaphylactic shock, since such drugs have a very pronounced anti-shock effect. This suggests that the drugs are capable of:

• Increase the pressure;
• Remove the swelling.

The latter can cause an attack of suffocation if it is allergic.

Non-hormonal preparations

Treatment of allergies with the help of injections can be carried out and nonhormonal means. Their action is based on the introduction into the body of a very small dose of antigens, which contributes to the improved performance of the immune system. When taking non-hormonal drugs against an allergic reaction, the general condition improves noticeably.

To such preparations it is possible to carry:

• Suprastin;
• "Tavegil" and so on.

They also successfully and quickly remove the symptoms manifested with allergies. With a mild form, you can take pills; If the case is severe, then an intramuscular injection can be made. There is one warning - they are not recommended for use for more than five days. It is better to consult your physician beforehand so that he can prescribe a comprehensive treatment for you.

Pros of injecting allergens

In this section, we will consider all the benefits of an injection against allergies. These injections contain a small dose of an allergen extract.

The primary advantage is a reduction in the manifestations of allergic asthma. Secondly, long-term treatment helps to weaken the body's reaction to the allergen. This procedure is called ASIT (allergen-specific immunotherapy). The drugs are selected individually for each patient, based on the hypersensitivity of the organism to which allergen is detected. As a rule, special prolonged allergens are used. For example:

• "Fostal" (pollen allergens of trees);
• "Alustal" (allergens of mites, meadow grasses) and others.

If a person has an allergy, then in his personal medicine chest necessarily there are many drugs that weaken her symptoms. A full course of treatment with injections often eliminates the need to use additional medications.

Cons ASIT

These drugs also have a reverse side. There is such a famous saying: "There is no evil without good." This also applies to this method of treatment. The following points can be attributed to the negative sides:

• Some reactions are possible (itching, puffiness or shortness of breath), which are very easy to get rid of by taking an antihistamine;
• The full course of treatment takes five years (interrupt in any case impossible, otherwise all diligence was in vain).

Before passing the course of treatment, you need to pass special tests to identify the allergen, to which the body is hypersensitive. If after several vaccinations the reaction becomes even worse, then treatment should be interrupted or reduced dosage.

Hot shots

Now a little about a very rare case of intravenous injection of an allergy calcium chloride. This method is used extremely rarely, only in severe cases. It is also called a hot prick. Calcium chloride is used when it is necessary to immediately stop the attack of allergy. It is worthwhile to clarify that after its introduction, control over the patient is necessary.

With the introduction of the drug you can feel how a warm jet spreads throughout the body. If you feel a burning sensation during the injection, then tell the doctor.

Long-acting injections

What are the injections of allergies? We have already singled out some of them. To such means as "Prednisolone" and "Suprastin", we will still pay attention. Now a few words about long-acting drugs.

How to get rid of allergies forever or significantly reduce the degree of symptoms? It's simple, you need to get vaccinated. Note, this is not one injection, but a whole course, which is designed for several years. Significant changes can occur after three years of vaccination. They are done once every three to four months. It is worth a little patience. However, there is an accelerated course, designed for two weeks. It should also be taken into account that it is less effective. Please note that after the injection, an allergic reaction is possible. It can be eliminated by taking an antihistamine.

The entire course of treatment is constructed as follows: an allergen is detected, it is introduced into the body in a very small dose. The doctor carefully observes the reaction of the body. Further the dose increases, directly with this the work of the immune system of the patient is stimulated.

Suprastin

In this section, we will take a closer look at the injection of "Suprastin" for allergies. Instruction for use states that the drug should be taken with a serious threat of anaphylactic shock. In ordinary cases, you can do with ordinary tablets.

Pay attention to the dosage. For adults, up to two ampoules can be used throughout the day. Up to a year, a quarter of the ampoule can be given to breast children. Children from one to six years are not recommended to exceed the dose equal to half the ampoule. Children from six to fourteen years can have up to one ampoule. Here we will clarify that the drug is administered intramuscularly.

If there is a suspicion of a severe allergic reaction, then Suprastin can be administered intravenously. Please note that the medicine can not be administered quickly.

In one ampoule "Suprastin" contains 20 milligrams of chloropyramine hydrochloride. This substance is a histamine blocker.

Prednisolone

Injection of "Prednisolon" for allergies is used extremely rarely, only in emergency cases. Note that this is a synthetic hormone. Its action is based on two effects:

• Anti-inflammatory;
• Antiallergenic.

The injections of this drug are extremely rare and only in emergency cases. These include: anaphylactic shock, swelling of the larynx, brain and so on.

Contraindications include:

• intolerance;
• tuberculosis;
• Viral infections;
• Ulcer;
• Glaucoma;
• herpes;
• diabetes.

Composition for one ampoule of Prednisolone:

• Hydrochloride mazipredona (30 mg);
• Benzyl alcohol;
• 96% alcohol;
• Propylene glycol;
• water for injections.

Reviews

Which allergy injections help best? It depends on the case. People who have undergone a long course of treatment, note the relief or complete elimination of symptoms. In case of emergency, many people use the injection of Suprastin.

According to people who are prone to allergies, the ampoule is opened very easily. The introduction of the medicine causes painful sensations. Nevertheless, the drug helps. In no case can it be combined with alcohol and psychotropic drugs.
