Dioxydin belongs to a broad spectrum of antimicrobial agents. He has proved himself well in the fight against infections caused by the defeat of the body by a vulgar proteus (microorganisms causing inflammatory processes in the digestive tract), salmonella, streptococcus, staphylococcus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella and dysentery, pathogenic anaerobes. Dioxydin also successfully fights with strains of bacteria that antibiotics and other antimicrobials can not cope with.

Dioxydin for children
In otloragyping practice, dioxin is often prescribed to children as a nasal drip in the treatment of the common cold. But the instructions to the drug clearly states that the drug can be used to treat only adult patients. Who should believe and whether it is possible to apply dioxygen to children? It is believed that with topical application (as opposed to intravenous), the toxic effect of the drug on the human body is minimal. But due to the possibility of serious side effects, dioskidin can be used for treatment of children only in exceptional cases, when other drugs can not cope and there is a danger of sinus or purulent otitis. Treatment must be under the supervision of the doctor and in strictly recommended doses. To wash the nose with dioxin it is usually used in a 0.5% solution, which must be dripped in the nose to the baby 1 drop 3 times a day.
Dioxidine is also used for preparing complex drops in the pharmacy, which also includes adrenaline and hydrocortisone. This formulation makes the drops effective and gentle in the fight against the common cold of any origin. Dioxydin successfully fights with pathogens of the common cold, adrenaline has a vasoconstrictive effect, which significantly reduces the amount of mucus, and hydrocortisone relieves edema and allergic manifestations. Complex drops perfectly cope with their task, without overdrying the mucous membrane of the nose and not causing discomfort. Drip them into the nose 1 drop to 5 times a day.
Is it possible to give dioxin to children?
Given all of the above, we conclude that the dioxygen drug, although certainly effective, but still unsafe. Therefore, do not treat them without the appointment of a doctor and exceed the dose prescribed by a specialist. Similarly, do not consider it as a magical means, for which you grasp, it is worth the child to slightly snuffle his nose. To drip Dioxydin in the nose of children (and even more so the smallest of them) is only when none of the more sparing means helps. It should be remembered that along with a powerful antimicrobial effect and the ability to cure even neglected purulent infections, dioxinin also has impressive side effects, a full list of which has not yet been fully explored.
