Choice of vasoconstrictors for children with rhinosinusitis

Abstract

The paper highlights the principal items of use of decongestants in the treatment of rhinosinusitis in children. It analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of all classes of decongestants and their role in the pathogenetic therapy of rhinosinusitis. The role of complex vasoconstrictors including excipients (certain components of essential oils) is defined, by using Lasolvan®Rhino as an example. The efficient and timely therapy of acute rhinitis in children can considerably reduce the frequency of complications and improve a child’s health, helping restore normal eating and sleep. Since the earliest treatment is of the greatest importance in the therapy of acute rhinosinusitis, emphasis is placed on decongestants within the first days of the disease. The decongestant Lasolvan®Rhino (Boehringer Ingelheim) fully meets the goals of treatment for acute rhinosinusitis in children over 6 years of age as an effective, reliable, and safe agent, as evidenced by clinical trials.
