In the treatment of rhinitis, local remedies are sometimes used that belong to homeopathy. One of them is the drug "Tuya Edas-801". Due to rare side effects, a small number of contraindications and the possibility of combining with many other drugs in the nose, such drops are in demand not only in adult patients, but also in the treatment of children.
Release form and composition
Edas-801 is available in the form of a homeopathic oil. It is sold in 15 ml plastic bottles that have a dropper on the stopper. There are also 25 ml glass bottles on sale, but there is no dropper in such a package (when using this form, a pipette is additionally required).
The product is an oily transparent liquid with a yellowish-greenish color. During storage, it may develop unexpressed opalescence, which disappears after shaking.
The main ingredient of the preparation is called "thuja occidentalis", as it is obtained from the coniferous tree Thuja occidentalis. Its dosage in 100 ml of solution is 5 g, and the dilution is D6. Olive oil is used as an auxiliary substance in Edas-801.

At what age is it prescribed?
There are no age restrictions for the use of Edas-801, but it is permissible to drip such a remedy for babies in the first years of life only as prescribed by a doctor. First, the doctor must examine the baby and make sure that such a drug is really needed. And secondly, these drops are rarely used for monotherapy, and a specialist should select other drugs that will affect the problem in a complex manner.
Contraindications

Side effects

If such unpleasant symptoms appear soon after the first use of the drug "801", you need to stop dripping such "Edas" and contact the doctor who prescribed this drug to the child.
