Respisun is a hypertonic saline solution used for inhalation and nasal hygiene. It contains sodium chloride and purified water.
What are the indications for Respisun?
Respisun is a medicine recommended in various situations due to its multiple therapeutic benefits. Here are the details of the main indications for this medicine:
- Respisun is used to facilitate the mobilisation of secretions in the lower respiratory tract in conditions such as bronchiolitis, cystic fibrosis, bronchiectasis and others. Through its osmotic effect, the hypertonic saline solution stimulates the release of mucus and helps to loosen and eliminate secretions accumulated in the lower respiratory tract. This can improve breathing and reduce discomfort associated with respiratory conditions.
- Respisun acts as a moisturising and protective agent for the bronchial mucosa. Regular use of this medicine can help maintain adequate moisture in the mucosa, thus preventing it from drying out and becoming irritated. This can be particularly useful if dry air or external factors can cause excessive dryness of the airways.
- Respisun can be used to cleanse and moisturise the nasal mucosa. When used for nasal hygiene, this medicine helps to remove nasal secretions and maintain adequate moisture in the mucosa. This can help relieve nasal congestion, reduce dryness and promote easier and more comfortable breathing.
What are the contraindications for Respisun?
Respisun, like any other medicine, has certain contraindications that must be taken into account to ensure its safe and effective use. These are:
- Hypersensitivity to the active ingredients or any of the components of the medicine: If you have had a previous allergic reaction to sodium chloride or any other ingredient contained in Respisun, you should avoid using it. If you have had a previous allergic reaction to sodium chloride or any other ingredient contained in Respisun, you should avoid using it. Signs of an allergic reaction may include skin rash, itching, swelling of the face or lips, difficulty breathing or a feeling of suffocation.
- People with severe bronchial asthma should avoid using Respisun without approval from their doctor.
- Respisun is not indicated in emergency situations where the patient is experiencing severe breathing difficulties or requires immediate medical attention.
- The use of Respisun in children below the recommended age may require special attention and appropriate medical monitoring.
