Xynosine Saline (0.65%) 30ml Pediatric Nasal Drops

Sodium chloride eye drops primarily work by mimicking the natural tears and providing osmotic pressure to the eye's surface. When instilled into the eye, sodium chloride creates a hypertonic environment, drawing fluid away from the surrounding tissues. This action helps reduce edema and relieves swelling in the ocular region. The sodium and chloride ions in the solution play a crucial role in maintaining the electrolyte balance, which is essential for the proper functioning of the tear film and the overall health of the eye's surface. By restoring the natural tear composition, these drops help to alleviate dryness, irritation, and discomfort associated with various eye conditions.

In the case of an overdose of Sodium Chloride, symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and severe dehydration. Excessive consumption can lead to elevated sodium levels in the blood, causing neurological symptoms such as confusion, seizures, and even coma. Prompt medical intervention is necessary, including supportive care to manage symptoms and restore fluid and electrolyte balance in the body. Early recognition and treatment are vital to prevent serious complications.

In the case of a missed dose of Sodium Chloride drops, it is important to administer the missed dose as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed one. If you miss several doses, contact your healthcare professional for advice on how to safely resume the medication.

To take Sodium Chloride drops, tilt your head back, gently squeeze the prescribed number of drops into the nose, and inhale slowly to ensure the solution reaches the nasal passages.

Following are the conditions or circumstances when Sodium Chloride drops should be avoided:

• Do not use if the patient has an allergy to sodium chloride or any other ingredients in the formulation.
• Avoid using in individuals with edema (swelling) caused by heart disease or kidney problems.
• Not suitable for patients with high sodium levels in the blood (hypernatremia).
• Should not be used if the patient has a condition that requires restricting salt intake.
• Avoid using in individuals with severe dehydration where fluid replacement is required.
• Contraindicated in patients with Meniere's disease, a disorder of the inner ear.
• Do not administer if the patient has untreated high blood pressure.
• Not recommended for individuals with pulmonary edema (fluid in the lungs).

The side effects of Sodium Chloride Drops may include:

• Irritation or burning sensation at the application site
• Redness or swelling of the skin
• Itching or rash
• Watery eyes (if used near the eyes)
• Temporary stinging or discomfort
• Dryness or cracking of the skin with prolonged use
• Allergic reactions (skin rash, itching, swelling, severe dizziness, or trouble breathing)

Following are the precautions and warnings:

• Sodium chloride drops should be used with caution in patients with high blood pressure (hypertension) as it may cause fluid retention and increase blood pressure.
• Avoid prolonged use in individuals with heart disease, kidney disease, or liver disease as it can affect fluid balance.
• Do not use if the seal is broken or the solution is discolored, as it may indicate contamination.
• Do not use for more than 5 days unless advised by a healthcare professional.
• Discontinue use and seek medical attention if irritation, redness, or swelling occurs at the application site.
• Keep out of reach of children and pets to prevent accidental ingestion.
• Sodium chloride drops should be used under medical supervision in patients with diabetes as it may affect blood sugar levels.

Following are the drug interactions for Sodium Chloride Drops:

• No known significant interactions with other medications.
• Sodium chloride can affect the absorption of other medications taken orally, especially when used as a nasal or ophthalmic solution.
• May interact with lithium, increasing the risk of lithium toxicity.
• Concomitant use with corticosteroids may increase the risk of hypertension and fluid retention.
• Potentially reduces the effectiveness of ACE inhibitors and diuretics in managing hypertension.
• Caution with drugs that may cause hypernatremia, such as certain diuretics or antihypertensives.
• May enhance the effects of medications that increase sensitivity to sodium, such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).

Following are the food interactions for Sodium Chloride Drop:

• Avoid excessive intake of foods high in sodium (salt) like processed meats, canned soups, and salty snacks. High sodium levels can lead to increased blood pressure and fluid retention.
• Consume potassium-rich foods like bananas, oranges, and spinach. Sodium and potassium balance is crucial for maintaining proper hydration and nerve function.
• Limit foods containing preservatives and added sodium, as they can increase overall sodium intake.
• When using Sodium Chloride drops, ensure you stay well-hydrated by drinking adequate water to maintain fluid balance.
• Avoid excessive consumption of sports drinks or energy drinks, as these often contain high levels of sodium and may lead to an imbalance.
• Be cautious with salty condiments like soy sauce, ketchup, and pickles, as they can significantly contribute to daily sodium intake.
• Consider reducing the use of table salt in cooking and at the table to manage overall sodium levels effectively.

Sodium Chloride storage and disposal should be carried out with care. Keep it in a cool, dry area, shielded from light and moisture. Ensure the container is tightly sealed to maintain its integrity and prevent contamination. Avoid heat-prone areas like stoves or radiators, as temperature fluctuations can compromise the substance's stability. Dispose of any unused or expired Sodium Chloride responsibly; do not flush it or pour it down the drain. Consult your pharmacist or local waste management guidelines for proper disposal methods. Keep it away from children to prevent accidental ingestion, as it can be harmful if consumed inappropriately.
