[Bioparox effects on nasal mucosa in acute catarrhal rhinosinusitis].

An open, randomized, comparative trial of the drug bioparox was made in 50 patients. Nasal cavity function and its changes in response to bioparox administration were studied with the saccharin test and measurement of ciliary motor activity (CMA) using a special computer program. Significant suppression of the transport function and CMA in all the patients with catarrhal rhinosinusitis was observed. SMA on the inferior turbinated bone and septum was minimal, being low on the middle turbinated bone. After 7 days of bioparox administration mean value of CMA rose 2-fold. Thus, it is demonstrated that bioparox inhalations have no negative effect on nasal ciliated epithelium. On the contrary, it enhances its recovery.
