Sinuforte lyophilisate for preparation of 50mg solution

Lyophilisate for solution for intranasal administration

Composition

Juice and extract of fresh European cyclamen tubers

Mechanism of action

SINUFORTE is a herbal medicine for the treatment of inflammatory diseases of the paranasal sinuses and nasal cavity.

Cyclamen extract enhances secretion in the paranasal sinuses, helps to dilute the secret, has a local anti-edema effect.

The drug acts on the sensitive endings of the trigeminal nerve, located in the middle part of the nasal passage, thus causing a reflex separation of the secret (mucopurulent secretions). The effect is observed immediately after the introduction of the solution into the nasal cavity and lasts from thirty minutes to an hour. Simultaneously with the increased secretion, a discharge of the discharge occurs, which, in combination with the anti-edema effect, promotes the excretion of secretions from the paranasal sinuses into the nasopharynx. The use of Sinuforte enhances microcirculation in the mucous membranes of the nose and sinuses, which is associated with the reflex expansion of blood vessels suitable for the mucus secreting glands. This effect is due to the presence in the extract of cyclamen of a whole complex of active substances, the most studied of which are saponins. It is not possible to study the pharmacokinetics of the whole complex of active substances, therefore, no metabolites of the drug were detected.

Sinuforte is indicated for patients with acute and chronic sinusitis, as well as during the rehabilitation period after surgery on the paranasal sinuses.
