What is Livocab® nasal spray?
Livocab® nasal spray is a drug used for the treatment of allergic rhinitis. It is a dosage spray that is sprayed directly into the nose. It can be used in children over one year of age as well as in adolescents and adults.
It is available without a prescription in pharmacies and can be used for any form of allergy associated with rhinitis. If the symptoms cannot be sufficiently alleviated, it is recommended to consult a doctor. Livocab® nasal spray should not be used for a cold that is not caused by an allergic reaction.
Indication
The indications for Livocab® nasal spray are all forms of allergic rhinitis, with hay fever being the most common. Also very common is a house dust allergy due to mite excrement, which in most cases is also associated with an allergic rhinitis and can be treated with Livocab® nasal spray. Furthermore, the drug may be indicated for rhinitis due to an allergy to animal hair.
An allergy to mold is an indication for Livocab® nasal spray if symptoms appear on the nose. Another group of possible indications are all occupational allergies associated with an allergic rhinitis. Allergies in children over one year of age can also be treated with Livocab® nasal spray, if allergy symptoms on the nose occur.
Hay fever is widespread in the population and can be treated with various drugs such as Livocab® nasal spray. Hay fever causes an inappropriately strong reaction of the body’s own defense system when it comes into contact with grasses or pollen via the air. In this so-called allergic reaction, histamine is usually released in the nose, among other places, which leads to the typical symptoms of a cold and a runny nose.
An inflammation of the conjunctiva of the eyes is also common in hay fever. By using Livocab® nasal spray, at least the symptoms of allergic rhinitis can be combated. Hay fever is a seasonal form of allergy, which means that the symptoms are limited to a few months of the year when the responsible plants are in bloom. Livocab® Nasal Spray must therefore only be used during this period. If hay fever affects the eyes, Livocab® eye drops can also be used.
