Rating of the best hormonal nose drops for 2022

Probably, nothing disrupts the usual cycle of life as much as the appearance of a runny nose or congestion of the respiratory tract. Hormonal drops in the nose will help to cope with these unpleasant symptoms. They are effective both in seasonal rhinitis and in its chronic form, at the time of complications. In more detail about these drugs, the best manufacturers and features of the action, we will talk in the review below.

Characteristics of drugs

Hormonal drops or sprays from the common cold that are popular today are a synthetic compound of components that are produced by the adrenal glands. Most often, these nasal drops consist.

1. From the main active ingredient:

• beclomethasone;
• mometasone;
• fluticonasone.

2. Auxiliary component.

• purified water with sea salt;
• hydrochloric acid, etc.

The functionality of sprays and nasal drops with hormones allows you to:

• remove vasomotor rhinitis (inflammatory process on the mucosa);
• reduce swelling;
• have a softening effect;
• block pain syndromes;
• reduce too active manifestation of immunity (sinusitis or nasal congestion).

The advantages of this type of drugs include the fact that, getting on the mucous membrane, such medicinal formulations do not allow the inflammatory process to develop. In this case, the action of the spray occurs in such a way that it does not affect in any way:

• for the work of the adrenal glands;
• on brain function;
• the formation of their own hormones.

The drug is excreted from the body by the kidneys and liver.

However, if these drugs are taken without control and in violation of the dosage, such nasal drops can bring not only benefits, but also harm. Since in this case the nasal mucosa is irritated even more. What can provoke:

• bleeding due to increased pressure in the vessels;
• urticaria;
• headache;
• as well as swelling of the mucosa - as a symptom of an allergic reaction to one of the components of the drug;
• the appearance of small ulcers on the inner surface of the nose.

Side effects do not entail serious health consequences, but only serve as a reason for consulting a doctor and replacing the drug.

Their distinguishing features from vasoconstrictor drops

1. Longer lasting effect. The result of the action of hormonal sprays can be felt some time after taking:

• when inflammation is removed, the result is felt for almost a day;
• if you remove the swelling from allergies, then the action lasts until the next penetration of the allergen. Due to this, it is enough to use the drug once a day, without regular injections, as happens when you use vasoconstrictors.

2. Options with hormones are intended for local use and rarely penetrate into the general circulation, which is why they have almost no side effects.
3. They are not addictive.
4. Drops with hormones do not provoke the growth of the mucosa.

Before choosing a remedy, you should also pay attention to the fact that the distinguishing feature of hormonal formulations for the nose is a slower action than that of vasoconstrictor drugs, synthetic formulations begin to work approximately 12 hours after application. And the best effect of the treatment can be felt only after a few days. In this connection, doctors advise using them together with complex treatment. If severe swelling is observed, it is better to start therapy with the use of vasoconstrictor drugs. They are well combined with hormonal compounds, and their combined action with drugs, with an antihistamine function, significantly improves the therapeutic activity of hormonal agents.

Tips. Before using such drops, they must be shaken well to evenly mix the contents of the vial. After applying the spray, the dispenser should be rinsed under running water.

To whom and why they are prescribed

Drugs of this type are often prescribed for the treatment and prevention of various types of rhinitis, regardless of what their manifestations are.

1. Infectious rhinitis. It is considered one of the most common types of runny nose, and is the main symptom of colds and flu. Often accompanied by high fever, with irritation of the lacrimal glands and occasional coughing.
2. Allergic rhinitis. May be:

• seasonal - this includes hay fever (hay fever), this type of rhinitis usually manifests itself in the period from April to September and is often the result of active flowering of various plant species;
• year-round - begins immediately after contact with household allergens.

3. Unexplained sneeze or vasomotor rhinitis. This ailment causes swelling of the nose with profuse discharge and may occur without cause.

For 2022, hormonal drops and nasal sprays are quite widespread. They are often written:

• people suffering from allergies;
• those who have nasal congestion;
• with sinusitis.

Such drops also help with adenoids. Hormonal preparations are contraindicated only in case of intolerance to the contained components. They have practically no drawbacks and are well tolerated by patients.

However, despite their merits, such drops only relieve the symptoms of a runny nose, but do not treat the disease itself. In order to get rid of the disease, you need a complete therapy with the use of antihistamines.
