Pills for itching psoriasis

In psoriasis, itching in most cases is quite strong and bothersome. Therefore, tablets for itching for psoriasis should have a powerful antipruritic action.

These pills inhibit the properties of an enzyme that is involved in transporting calcium into the cellular structure - this is the process that is present during inflammation. The use of such tablets allows you to block the action of cytokines that cause itchy skin in psoriasis. In addition, tablets for itching inhibit the production of substances such as serotonin, histamine, etc.

Calcineurin inhibitor tablets, which help with itching in psoriasis, are most often represented by drugs such as Cyclosporin and Tacrolimus.

Antihistamine tablets for itching

Antihistamines inhibit the action of histamine, a biogenic amine that causes an immune response in response to an allergen in the body. Such drugs effectively eliminate the itching associated with an allergic process in the body. Special pills   allergic itching reduces capillary permeability, reduces the severity of edema, relieves redness and, of course, helps alleviate itching - and this happens already for 30–40 minutes after the internal use of tablets.

The main groups of anti-allergic drugs are as follows:

• Antihistamines I generation - Suprastin, Diazepam, Tavegil, Dimedrol. These tablets perfectly eliminate unpleasant itchy sensations, but almost always cause drowsiness, lethargy and decreased performance.
• Antihistamines II and III generation - Loratadin, Cetirizine, Fexofenad g / x. These pills for itching are easily tolerated by the body and do not cause apathy and drowsiness.

Itching (irritation) on the skin arises unexpectedly and inappropriately. It causes physical discomfort and psychological discomfort. Redness and flaking on open areas of the body in warm weather is also visually noticeable to others. Many people know the sensations when a dermatological problem interferes with calm work and rest. A walk in the park, a trip to a cafe or a cinema with friends cease to please as before. But there is good news - there is a medical solution to this problem. It remains only to find out the causes of the itch - and choose a treatment.

Itch and its causes

The very concept of "itch" is defined as discomfort   burning and stinging on the skin, causing a constant desire to scratch this place. To date, the mechanism of occurrence of sverbezh is not fully understood by scientists. After all, special receptors of his perception do not exist. It is believed that the signals of itching and pain are perceived by nerve fibers alone, which then transmit them to the cortical center of pain sensitivity located in the brain. Itching can be both an independent disease and a symptom of the disease, or an allergic reaction.

To understand how and how to treat this problem, it is necessary to understand the factors of its origin.

Severe itching does not forget about yourself either at work or at home

The most common causes of a strong desire to itch:

• allergic reactions;
• physical and chemical irritants;
• skin diseases (lichen, fungus, eczema, dermatitis,);
• mechanical damage, microtraumas (corns, razor irritation, splinters);
• psychosomatic disorders (stress, fears, overwork);
• systemic diseases of the body ( diabetespyelonephritis);
• wound healing process - often accompanied by itching;
• poor hygiene;
• frostbite and burns;
• insect bites;
• helminthiasis.

Itching can be both a symptom and an independent disease. For the future treatment to be effective, it is necessary to apply to the dermatologist in time for diagnosis.

The main groups of drugs for itching of the skin of different parts of the body

Based on the reason that the doctor determines, he will prescribe medicines of one or more drug classes. Different approaches to treatment in this case are explained by the variety of factors of the origin of sverbezh. In the fight against it is customary to use the following drug groups:

Medicines different groups   complement each other as part of complex therapy. Their compatibility with each other is provided by the doctor on the basis of his knowledge, the clinical features, and possible complications.

Forms of release

Based on the tasks to be solved with the help of a drug, the manufacturer produces the drug in solid, soft, liquid, powder, or other forms. In this case, the same active ingredient may appear in two or three or more varieties, differ in trade names, price, etc.

Pills

This solid dosage form has several obvious advantages. The use of tablets allows you to precisely adjust the dosage of the active substance. They are compactly stored in a pocket or purse, always at hand.

Examples of tablet formulations of anti-itch drugs:

• antihistamines — Loratadine, Claritin (loratadine) *, Suprastin, Chloropyramine (chloropyramine hydrochloride);
• glucocorticoids - Dexamethasone (dexamethasone);
• antimycotics - Levorin (levorin), Mycozoral, Nizoral, Ketoconazole (ketoconazole);
• sedatives and tranquilizers - Atarax, Hydroxysin (hydroxyzine), Seduxen (Diazepam).

* The active substance is indicated in parentheses.

Creams, gels, ointments

Soft forms of drugs for external use are good in that they are optimally suitable for combining components of different chemical origin, state of aggregation and biological activity. This includes pasta and liniment.

Examples of preparations of soft dosage forms for external application:

• antihistamines - Fenistil gel (dimetinden);
• glucocorticoids - Prednisolone (prednisolone), Hydrocortisone (hydrocortisone), Sinaflan (fluocinolone acetonide);
• antimycotics - ketoconazole cream (ketoconazole), clotrimazole cream (clotrimazole);
• antibiotics - Levomekol ointment (chloramphenicol, methyluracil);
• non-hormonal ointment - Bepantin cream (dexpanthenol), Zinc ointment   (zinc oxide), Gistan (multicomponent herbal preparation);

Soft forms of drugs, as a rule, are not dosed. Apply them with the expectation of local therapy   with lesions of the mucous membranes and skin. But the active ingredients of ointments can sometimes partially penetrate the bloodstream through the ducts of the sebaceous glands. It must be remembered that the absorption capacity of the skin increases with its inflammation, maceration (softening, for example, from sweat or water), insufficient moisture of the upper layer.

Aerosols and sprays

Solutions, emulsions and suspensions of medicinal mixtures for convenience are produced in aerosols or sprays. This medical form has its advantages. For example, the economical consumption of the drug due to the uniform application of a thin layer of solution on the skin or mucous membrane. Hard-to-reach places and folds are also convenient to handle with sprays, because they last longer than ointments or creams.

Some remedies for itching in the form of a spray bottle:

• glucocorticoids - Oxycort (hydrocortisone, oxytetracycline), Polkolloton TC (triamcinolone, tetracycline);
• antimycotics - Clotrimazole Spray (clotrimazole);
• local anesthetics - Lidocaine aerosol (lidocaine).

Aerosols can be applied to wet surfaces, as well as erosion and ulcers. Before using the can, shake well several times.

Injections

Refer to the liquid dosage forms for intramuscular, intravenous administration using a syringe. Injections are much faster than other types of drugs and more fully absorbed, they can be accurately dosed. The gastrointestinal tract does not suffer from injecting the drug. When dissolved, the substances are less irritating.

Examples of drugs:

• antihistamines: Suprastin (chloropyramine hydrochloride), Tavegil (clemastin);
• glucocorticoids - Hydrocortisone (hydrocortisone), Prednisolone (Prednisone);
• tranquilizers - Seduxen (diazepam), Aminazin (chlorpromazine), Atarax (hydroxyzine hydrochloride).

The disadvantages of this method include the need to attract medical personnel, and some inconveniences associated with pain.

Suspensions

The liquid form of the drug, when one or more solid substances, in the form of the smallest particles, is distributed (but not dissolved) in water, oil, glycerin, etc. Suspension is a dispersed system with a solid phase and a liquid medium. It happens for internal and external use, as well as for injection.

Characteristic feature for this dosage form   is the optical heterogeneity, manifested to a greater or lesser degree of turbidity. It is an integral external feature of the suspension due to the presence of insoluble particles impermeable to light. The advantage of a dispersed system is considered to be prolonged action, and the ability to combine in one mixture different in the degree of solubility of the substance.

An example of a suspension is the so-called talker. It is prepared on the basis of alcohol (medical, ammonia, camphor), boric or salicylic acid with the addition of antibiotics, sulfur, or medicinal herbs. Talker for itching can be prepared by yourself, after purchasing the following components at a pharmacy:

• distilled water,
• zinc oxide,
• talc Medical
• white clay,
• starch,
• glycerol.

Or purchase a finished product at the pharmacy - Tsindol. This suspension for external use has an antiseptic, astringent and drying effect.

Before use for the intended purpose should shake up the vial, a couple of times a good shake it.

When the doctor prescribes medication

If the whole body is scratched, they speak of the generalized nature of the itch, as opposed to the localized (local) one. Acute general itching often indicates food - for example, citrus, sunflower, butter   - or drug - on the drug component - an allergy, reaction to air temperature, and other types of excessive sensitivity.

But it can occur as a symptom of severe systemic diseases:

In the above cases - treatment will be directed primarily to the elimination of the underlying disease. If you can get rid of the disease or achieve remission, then the itch subsides. Also, the doctor may prescribe antihistamine medications (Loratadine, Cetrin, Suprastin), hormonal (Prednisolone, Hydrocortisone, Nystatin) and non-hormonal ointments (Gistan, Fenistil). With a complication of general intoxication of the body, it is advisable to enter the enterosorbents (Polysorb, Enterosgel).

The opiate receptor blocker can be used in those patients in whom the standard drugs do not bring the desired result in the fight against generalized itching (Naltrexone).

Localized itching occurs paroxysmally: it subsides, then resumes, changing intensity. This type is characteristic of the following skin diseases:

• atopic dermatitis;
• psoriasis;
• eczema;
• pink lichen;
• ringworm (skin fungus).

They require treatment with hormonal drugs that a dermatologist can prescribe for oral administration in the form of tablets, powders, syrups, or injection (Dexamethasone, Prednisolone), and also externally in the form of an ointment or cream (Hydrocortisone, Clotrimazole, Lamisil, Lamikon). In the complex therapy will enter and antihistaminesthat relieve general irritation and swelling (Suprastin, Loratadine, Erius).

The treatment of itching caused by the patient’s mental state, such as stress and depression, is based on sedatives and tranquilizers (Atarax, Seduxen), as well as herbal remedies (Sedasen, Novopassit, Valerian).

Sverbezh from insect bites will pass quickly, if you anoint the affected place with antiallergic ointment (Psilo-Balsam), and when itching is strong - hormonal (Cinaflan), taking an anti-histamine pill (Claritin, Zyrtec). And also the area of ​​the bite can be smeared with an antiseptic (Iodine), if necessary.

Features of treatment and side effects

The most dangerous complications face long-term hormone therapy.   Treatment with glucocorticosteroids is associated with a rather high risk of complex side effects. They can manifest themselves with their long-term use in large doses, or with a sharp cessation of therapy.

Too rapid cancellation of glucocorticoids is fraught with not only the return of the disease from which they were treated, but also the risk of adrenal insufficiency. And also such painful conditions:

• pathological overheating (hyperthermia);
• hypertonicity and muscle soreness at rest;
• functional pain in the joints;
• intracranial pressure increase (hypertension);
• general malaise.

It is important that a competent doctor controls the dose and timing of treatment with glucocorticoids. Taking this medication for a long time can get problems that will not be easy to get rid of. Namely:

• high blood pressure;
• excessive content;
• menstrual disorders;
• propensity to infect wounds;
• violations of water-salt balance;
• behavioral abnormalities (psychosis);
• muscle atrophy;
• osteoporosis;
• external changes (overweight, overweight, edema, bright blush);
• bruising;
• cataract, etc.

Features of treatment of patients with diabetes mellitus are that, in parallel with hormone therapy, they are prescribed a corrective diet, as well as insulin injections. Thus, blood glucose is controlled.

Even small doses of glucocorticoids can provoke growth retardation in children.   The exact reasons for this have not yet been studied. The effect of hormones on fetal development is also not known. In animal experiments, scientists managed to find out that the effect of glucocorticoids on the embryo provokes severe behavioral disorders, and developmental pathologies of the future baby are not excluded.

Most frequent side effect   antihistamine pharmaceuticals is drowsiness.   It can be both pronounced and implicit, in the form of a certain inhibition of the nervous system. In this regard, the patient is not recommended to drive a car, to engage in activities that require quick response. It is also important to remember that at the same time as antiallergic drugs, alcohol and sedatives should not be taken, since the latter increase the negative effect.

The manifestation of drowsiness during the course of administration depends both on the medication itself and on the individual response of the patient. Officially, it is believed that second-generation drugs (Claritin, Loratadin, Zyrtec, Tsetrin), unlike the first drugs (Suprastin, Diazolin, Dimedrol), in most cases do not cause a hypnotic effect, although there are exceptions. The safest in this regard remedies   third generation (Erius, Telfast).

How to take

Antihistamines can be taken from seven days (Diazolin, Dimedrol, Suprastin, Tavegil - 1st generation) to one year (Lorddestin, Desloratadine - 3rd generation). Longer doses can result in toxicosis of the body, and even the development of allergic reactions to antihistamines.

Glucocorticoids are used both locally - ointments, gels, aerosols, and systemically - tablets, injections, or locally - rectal suppositories.

The dosage is determined exclusively by the doctor, taking into account the patient’s body weight and a number of other parameters. Glucocorticosteroids must be taken early in the morning - the first time, and the second - no later than 14 hours. So it happens physiologically when hormones enter the blood from the adrenal glands. The medicine is taken with food, or immediately after a meal.

To reduce the negative impact, hormones are combined with other drugs. With calcium and vitamin D - to avoid osteoporosis, with blockers of acid secretion in the stomach - for the prevention of gastrointestinal diseases.

Therapy antifungal drugs   is carried out strictly in accordance with the treatment regimen. At the same time, the patient takes care not to skip the medication, which should occur at regular time intervals. You can not double the dose, if for some reason there was a failure. Preparations of the azoles subgroup for internal use should be taken with enough water. Do not allow them to mix with drugs that lower gastric acidity (antacids, holinoblokatory, etc.). Avoid contact with local pharmaceuticals on the mucous membranes of the eyes, mouth, nose, wound surface. During the course of therapy it is necessary to abandon alcoholic beverages.
