Children
Spersallerg should not be used in children under 2 years of age.
Spersallerg and other medicines
Tell your doctor about all the medicines you are taking now or have taken recently, as well as any medicines you plan to take.
MAO inhibitors prolong and enhance the anticholinergic effect of antihistamines.
Sedating antihistamines may enhance the sedative effect of central nervous system depressants, including alcohol, sedatives, opioids, anxiolytics, and antipsychotics.
Concomitant use of other antimuscarinic medications, such as atropine and certain antidepressants (both tricyclic and MAO inhibitors), may enhance their antimuscarinic effects.
Since systemic absorption is possible, caution should be exercised when administering Spersallerg with these medications.
If it is necessary to instill more than one medication into the same eye, wait at least 5 minutes before administering the next medication.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or plan to have a child, consult your doctor before using this medicine.
Spersallerg should not be used during pregnancy unless prescribed by a doctor.
It is not known whether the active substances of Spersallerg pass into breast milk. Caution should be exercised when using Spersallerg during breastfeeding.
Driving and using machines
Spersallerg may cause drowsiness, dizziness, somnolence, or visual disturbances.
Patients who experience such side effects should not drive or operate machinery until the symptoms have resolved.
Spersallerg contains benzalkonium chloride
The medicine contains 0.0023 mg of benzalkonium chloride per dose.
Benzalkonium chloride may be absorbed by soft contact lenses and change their color. Remove contact lenses before instillation and wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting.
Benzalkonium chloride may also cause eye irritation, especially in people with dry eye syndrome or corneal disorders (the transparent layer at the front of the eye). If you experience any abnormal sensations in the eye, stinging, or eye pain after using the medicine, consult your doctor.
3. How to use Spersallerg
Always use this medicine exactly as your doctor has told you.
In case of doubt, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
The recommended dose of Spersallerg is:
Adults and adolescents:1 drop 2 to 3 times a day for 14 days.
Children (over 2 years of age):Use with caution and limit the dose to 1 to 2 drops per day. Do not use Spersallerg in children under 2 years of age.
There are no adequate studies on the use of Spersallerg in elderly patients.
Spersallerg should not be used for more than 14 days, as this may cause a recurrence of hyperemia and toxic papillary conjunctivitis.
After administration, it is recommended to press the inner corner of the eye with your index finger or close your eyes for 3 minutes. This prevents the medicine from passing through the tear duct into the nose or throat and increases the amount of medicine that remains in the eye and acts locally.
Method of administration:
- tilt your head back;
- hold the open bottle in one hand and gently pull down the lower eyelid with the index finger of the other hand;
- direct the dropper tip towards the eye without touching it;
- gently squeeze the bottle to release 1 drop into the eye;
- gently press the corner of the closed eyelid for 1-2 minutes to prevent the drop from entering the tear duct;
- after use, immediately close the bottle tightly.
To prevent contamination of the contents, do not touch the dropper tip to the eye, eyelid, or any other surface.
Overdose
Unintentional oral ingestion of the contents of one bottle of Spersallerg should not have any serious consequences in an adult. In children, especially those under 2 years of age, nausea, drowsiness, arrhythmia, and/or tachycardia, and possibly shock, may occur. After overdose of tetryzoline, central nervous system depression, hypotensive shock, and coma have been reported.
In case of accidental overdose after oral ingestion, induce vomiting. Consult your doctor or pharmacist.
