Reviews
Patients respond to eye drops Kromogeksal in different ways. Some people note the high effectiveness of this drug, while others say that it did not help them to get rid of the allergy symptoms. Some patients noted that they quickly developed an addiction to Cromohexal, so they had to switch to another drug.
Persons suffering from bronchial obstruction or bronchial asthma noted that the use of Cromohexal triggered an increase in coughing attacks. From this it can be done that the described drops do not fit all patients.
Before using them, it is necessary to consult a physician. And if during the treatment with Kromoeksalom the patient notices that his condition has begun to deteriorate, he should seek medical help to see if the doctor has determined whether this is a reaction to Kromogexal and whether the patient's condition excludes further use of the drug.
Examples of
1. When my kid turned 1 year and 4 months old, I began to notice more and more often that he rubs his eyes with his hands - well, rubbed, two, three. However, after a while it became so obvious that you did not have to think about the cilium in your eye. And then it's time to visit the oculist.
At the reception, when I complained that the baby rubs his eyes, the doctor pushed the lower eyelid slightly and found that the mucosa there is red, not pink, as it should be.
In a word, the doctor said that this is an allergic reaction, for the treatment of which he prescribed anti-allergic drops Kromogeksal for the eyes.
The drug is colorless, odorless, I even tasted it - slightly salty. In the instruction it is specified, that among by-effects sometimes there is an itch and a burning sensation in eyes.
However, even though drops were assigned to my child, not me, I first tested Kromogeksal on myself. Perhaps with a strong inflammation and conjunctivitis this drug burns, but my eyes on these drops did not react at all.
The child was also allowed to drip his eyes quietly and then did not cry, which led to the conclusion that this drug also did not deliver him any discomfort at all.
If we talk about effectiveness, then Kromogeksal my kid really helped - he stopped rubbing his eyes after a few days.
2. I very much regret that I did not find out about this tool before. Has started to use these drops, as a result has absolutely ceased to accept tablets from an allergy. And the cost is not so high - I bought a bottle of Kromoeksal for 166 rubles. Earlier I had to buy more expensive drugs, but they ended very quickly.
