PHARMACHOLOGIC EFFECT
Tailed Mint refers to anti-allergic drugs. The active substance in this preparation is nedocromil. When systematically applied, it reduces the symptoms of allergic inflammation in the respiratory system. Nedocromil is a stabilizer of the membranes of mast cells, inhibits both early and late stages of the allergic reaction, preventing degranulacin from mast cells and secreting inflammatory mediators (histamine, bradiknin, slowly reacting substance, leukotrienes, prostaglandin D2) from them. Due to these properties, Tileed Mint warns of bronchospasm caused by contact with an allergen or other provoking factor (cold air, physical stress, stress). In patients with bronchial asthma, Nedocromilum suppresses antigen-induced allergic reactions of immediate and delayed types, and also reduces the hyperreactivity of the bronchi. With topical application at the level of the bronchial tree has anti-inflammatory effect. Prolonged continuous use reduces the hyperreactivity of the bronchi, improves respiratory function, reduces the intensity and frequency of attacks of suffocation and the severity of cough. It is more effective in light and moderate forms of asthma. At admission, nighttime symptoms decrease and the need for a daily appointment of bronchodilators is reduced. The therapeutic effect develops by the end of the first week.
PHARMACOKINETICS
After administration by inhalation, about 10% of the dose enters the respiratory tract, and the remainder settles in the oral cavity or nasopharynx and then swallowed.However, the absorption of nedocromil from the gastrointestinal tract is low (about 2%), therefore, nedocromil, which is determined in the plasma after inhalation, mainly enters there as a result of absorption from the respiratory tract. C max nedocromil is reached after about 60 min, and its half-life is 1-2 hours. Nedocromil is moderately (up to 89%) and reversibly binds to plasma proteins in humans. Nedocromyl is not metabolized. It is excreted unchanged in the urine (approximately 70%) and with feces (approximately 30%).
INDICATIONS
- treatment and prevention of bronchial asthma (of various origins, including asthma of physical effort);
- bronchospastic syndrome (caused by a number of stimuli: cold air, inhaled allergens, atmospheric pollution) in children older than 2 years and adults.
Tileed Mint can also be additionally assigned to all existing treatments for bronchial asthma.
DOSING MODE
The drug is designed for regular daily use.
The drug is not intended for arresting an acute bronchospastic attack.
Adults (including the elderly) and children older than 2 years
The recommended dose of Tileed Mint is 2 inhalations 2-4 times / day. When the control over the symptoms is achieved, the dose is gradually reduced to a supporting dose. The usual maintenance dose of the drug is 2 inhalations 2 times / day. In severe cases, as well as with a high concentration of allergens, the dose of the drug can be increased to two inhalations 4 times / day. Additional intake of the drug in the form of two inhalations (4 mg) can be done once before physical exertion to prevent physical asthma or before contact with suspected allergens. Do not exceed the daily dose of the drug, which is 8 inhalations.
The therapeutic effect develops by the end of the first week.
In the event that the use of a bronchodilator is simultaneously prescribed, it is recommended that it be used before use by Thayled Mint.
The addition of Tileed Mint to the treatment of patients receiving SCS may allow a reduction in the maintenance dose of GCS or abolish them completely. When reducing the dose of steroids, strict observation of the patient is necessary; a weekly dose reduction of 10% is suggested. If a decrease in the dose of GCS is impossible, then you can not cancel Tileed Mint until the SCS cover is restored.
