Overdependance On Sinucon

Good day,

I have become overdependant on Sinucon. I've been taking ±10 Sinucons a day for the last 4 years.

I get no withdrawel symptoms if I don't take it, I just get flooded with sinuses! I can take any other make of sinus treatment as well, but I stick to Sinucon because it is affordable and because it is effective.

I want to know how this bad habit of mine is doing to my health. Can it damage my liver / kidneys if I take it chronically?

Please advise on how to get off of this medication (and habit) if it poses any danger to my health.

Thank you,

Sinuconned

The danger from overusing these types of meds is more to your heart rather than your kidneys. These decongestants tend to cause accelerated heart rate and they can also cause high blood pressure.

As to getting off of it, since none of us here are doctor's, we cannot possibly advise you of what is best to do, this site does not know your medical history, family history or etc. Even a medical professional could not competently treat someone over the internet.

My suggestion would be to see your doctor and tell them about the problem, they will be able to provide you with the best and safest advice and solutions.
