  • Review of the Existing Recommendations for Essential Medicines for Ear, Nose and Throat Conditions in Adults and Children and Suggested Modifications
    REVIEW OF THE EXISTING RECOMMENDATIONS FOR ESSENTIAL MEDICINES FOR EAR, NOSE AND THROAT CONDITIONS IN ADULTS AND CHILDREN AND SUGGESTED MODIFICATIONS 2012 Shelly Chadha, Andnet Kebede Prevention of Blindness and Deafness, World Health Organization REVIEW OF THE EXISTING RECOMMENDATIONS FOR ESSENTIAL MEDICINES (Ear, Nose and Throat conditions) FOR USE IN ADULTS AND CHILDREN AND SUGGESTED MODIFICATIONS Context: The WHO Essential Medicines List includes a section for ENT conditions in children. The current section does not make any reference to medicines and dosages recommended for adults. As most of the conditions for which the listed medicines are indicated, are common in adults, the list needs to be appropriately reviewed in that context. Methodology: Each of the medicines listed in the EML for children was reviewed to consider its appropriateness for inclusion in the EML for adults. The recommended dosages for adults and children were also considered. Recommendations: The medicine list should include a list for adults as well as children. The list for adults should include Xylometazoline hydrochloride nasal spray 0.1%. It should be stated that the medicine (xylometazoline nasal spray) should not be used for prolonged periods of time, unless specifically advised and under medical supervision. The adult list should also include the other medicines mentioned in the list of children, i.e.: o Ciprofloxacin ear drops: 0.3%, as hydrochloride, for tropical use. o Aectic acid ear drops, 2% in alcohol, for topical use. Budesonide nasal spray listed in the EML for children needs greater, in depth review, which may be considered for the next EML update. 1 Xylometazoline Hydrochloride nasal spray Indications: Nasal congestion is obstruction of nasal passages, mainly caused by mucosal inflammation due to increased venous engorgement, nasal secretions and tissue swelling.

  • Conceptual Model for Using Imidazoline Derivative Solutions in Pulpal Management
    Journal of Clinical Medicine Review Conceptual Model for Using Imidazoline Derivative Solutions in Pulpal Management Robert S. Jones Division of Pediatric Dentistry, Department of Developmental & Surgical Sciences, School of Dentistry, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN 55455, USA; [email protected] Abstract: Alpha-adrenergic agonists, such as the Imidazoline derivatives (ImDs) of oxymetazoline and xylometazoline, are highly effective hemostatic agents. ImDs have not been widely used in dentistry but their use in medicine, specifically in ophthalmology and otolaryngology, warrants consideration for pulpal hemostasis. This review presents dental healthcare professionals with an overview of ImDs in medicine. ImD solutions have the potential to be more effective and biocompatible than existing topical hemostatic compounds in pulpal management. Through a comprehensive analysis of the pharmacology of ImDs and the microphysiology of hemostasis regulation in oral tissues, a conceptual model of pulpal management by ImD solutions is presented. Keywords: hemostasis; alpha-adrenergic agonists; imidazoline; oxymetazoline; nasal; dental pulp; mucosa; apexogenesis; pulpotomy; direct pulp cap; dentistry 1. Overview Citation: Jones, R.S.

  • Oxymetazoline
    Oxymetazoline This sheet talks about exposure to oxymetazoline pregnancy and while breastfeeding. This information should not take the place of medical care and advice from your healthcare provider. What is oxymetazoline? Oxymetazoline is a medication that is used in nasal sprays (sprayed into nostrils) and topical preparations (applied to skin). Oxymetazoline has been used to treat nasal congestion, eye inflammation, and skin redness. Oxymetazoline works by constricting blood vessels (makes the blood vessels smaller). Oxymetazoline can be found in prescription products and in many over the counter products. Some examples are: Afrin®, Dristan®, Nostrilla®, Rhofade®, and Vicks®. I use oxymetazoline. Can it make it harder for me to get pregnant? Studies have not been done in women to see if oxymetazoline could make it harder to get pregnant. I just found out that I am pregnant. Should I stop taking oxymetazoline? Talk with your healthcare providers before making any changes to this medication. Does taking oxymetazoline increase the chance for miscarriage? Miscarriage can occur in any pregnancy. Studies have not been done to see if oxymetazoline increases the chance for a miscarriage. Does taking oxymetazoline in the first trimester increase the chance of birth defects? In every pregnancy, a woman starts out with a 3-5% chance of having a baby with a birth defect. This is called her background risk. A small number of studies on oxymetazoline use have not found that oxymetazoline increases the chance of birth defects. Could taking oxymetazoline in the second or third trimester cause other pregnancy complications? Oxymetazoline did not affect uterine blood flow in 12 pregnancies when the healthy mother was given a one-time nasal spray dose.

  • How Toxic Indeed Is Oxymetazoline? Collection and Comparison of Toxicological Data of Pharmacologically Active Imidazoline Derivatives
    Preprints (www.preprints.org) | NOT PEER-REVIEWED | Posted: 15 December 2020 doi:10.20944/preprints202011.0416.v2 Article How Toxic indeed is Oxymetazoline? Collection and Comparison of Toxicological Data of Pharmacologically Active Imidazoline Derivatives Karsten Strey1,* 1 Humboldtstr. 105, D-22083 Hamburg, Germany * Correspondence: [email protected]; Abstract. Imidazoline derivatives, such as xylometazoline, naphazoline, tetryzoline, tramazoline or oxymetazoline play an important pharmacological role as nasal drops in the symptomatic treatment of rhinitis. When comparing the toxicological data of these substances, it is noticeable that Oxymetazoline has an LD50 value which is two orders of magnitude lower than all other imidazoline derivatives. Thus, ten vials of commercially available oxymetazoline nasal drops already contain a lethal amount. An explanation for this unusually high toxicity has not yet been found. Keywords. LD50, lethal Dose, Xylometazoline, Oxymetazoline, Imidazoline Derivatives 1. Introduction Many imidazoline derivatives are basic substances for pharmaceutical products. In 1941, the pharmacological effect of imidazoline derivatives was discussed for the first time on mucous membranes [1]. In 1955, Sahyun Labs secured several synthetic routes for imidazoline derivatives, including the tetryzoline [2]. Xylometazoline was first produced by A. Hüni in 1959 [3]. This was followed by the synthesis of oxymetazoline by W. Fruhstorfer and H. Müller-Calgan in 1961 [4]. Since the decongestant effect of oxymetazoline for the nose lasted longer than with other imidazoline derivatives, an oxymetazoline product was part of the on-board pharmacy of Apollo 11 on its way to the moon in 1969 [5]. Nowadays, the imidazoline derivatives xylometazoline, tramazoline, naphazoline, tetryzoline and oxymetazoline are important drugs for nasal decongestion and as ingredients for eye drops.
