Use during pregnancy and breastfeeding. To date, there is no data on whether naphazoline penetrates the placental barrier or gets into breast milk. Therefore, when prescribing the drug, it is necessary to carefully weigh the benefits to the mother and the possible risks to the fetus or child.

Contraindications. Naphazoline is not recommended for use in case of hypersensitivity to its components, under the age of 15, with atherosclerosis, arterial hypertension, tachycardia, thyrotoxicosis, chronic atrophic rhinitis, severe eye diseases, closed-angle glaucoma and diabetes. It also cannot be used simultaneously with monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) and within 14 days after taking them.

With caution. Particular attention should be paid to the appointment of naphazoline during pregnancy, breastfeeding, coronary heart disease (eg, angina), prostatic hyperplasia and pheochromocytoma.

Side effects. When used in recommended doses, naphazoline is generally well tolerated. However, respiratory side effects such as dry nose, irritation, swelling of the nasal mucosa, and reactive hyperemia are possible, especially if the drug is used for more than one week. Long-term use may cause atrophic rhinitis.

Nervous system effects include irritability, headaches, and tremors. Cardiovascular effects include increased blood pressure, hot flashes, and tachycardia. Increased sweating and tics are also possible (the drug may prolong their action).
