Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide the root-basically therapeutic treatment for common cold and pollinosis. SOLUTION: In this therapeutic treatment for common cold or pollinosis, a medicine at such a level of anesthetizing the physiological function of upper respiratory tract mucous cells is gradually released or inhaled. As a medicine for this treatment, are suitably cited any volatile compounds that dysfunction the physiological function of upper respiratory tract mucous cells, for example, monohydric alcohol (ethanol, butanol, menthol or the like), volatile sulfide (allyl sulfide or the like), volatile acid or base (hydrochloric acid, ammonia or the like), trihalomethanes (chloroform or the like).

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[Object of the Invention] [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a method for treating a common cold and a method for treating hay fever. ｝ Background of application｝ The present inventor is not only symptomatic treatment that said that if a drug is inhaled to the upper respiratory mucosa at a high concentration enough to cause mild pain, it will stop the runny nose as it has been said, He discovered that he would treat radically, saying that he could prevent the growth and fever of his, and filed Japanese Patent Application No. 8-530885. However, in a rejection decision (No. 5268, 2000), the concentration was such that he could damage upper mucosa cells. In response to the indication that the numerical value was not indicated, a specific indication of the concentration of the drug was added, stating that the concentration was high enough to cause mild pain in the upper respiratory mucosa, and taking into account the purpose of limiting the numerical value. Filed. ｛Conventional technology｝ Masks that release menthol slowly are marketed for the treatment of colds and hay fever.However, commercially available masks for the treatment of nasal congestion and for the treatment of symptoms such as sedation are not used. To avoid discomfort to the person,
It is not designed to inhale a high concentration of drug vapor that causes mild pain to the upper respiratory mucosa. In addition, “Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No.
Although the technology described in "143457 Public Information" is also expected to exhibit a therapeutic effect, it is inferred from the examples that if the drug content is not more than twice as high, drug vapor with a high concentration enough to cause slight pain to the respiratory tract mucosa is inhaled. I can not cure the cold because I can not do it. In addition, a hydrocarbon inhaler that inhibits the enzyme that cuts off sialic acid that binds the upper respiratory mucosal cells to the influenza virus will be launched in Japan as a radical treatment for influenza during the year 2000. However, this inhalant is effective only for some cold viruses such as influenza. In addition, the drug is spilled into the mucus to reduce the medicinal effect, and it is difficult for bedridden elderly people and infants to inhale the drug powder. The treatment method according to the present invention does not have the above-mentioned disadvantages.

[Constitution of the Invention] {Means for Solving the Problems} As a means for solving the problems, the concentration of the drug to be inhaled is increased to a level that causes the upper respiratory tract mucosal cells to malfunction physiologically. Drugs include monohydric alcohols (ethanol, butyl alcohol, menthol, etc.) volatile sulfides (allyl sulfide, etc.) volatile acid and base compounds (hydrochloric acid, ammonia, etc.) trihalomethane (chloroform, etc.) All upper respiratory mucosal cells Volatile compounds that render Physiologically dysfunctional are considered. There are innumerable drugs available, and it is impossible to list the appropriate drug concentration for all of them.However, in general, it is considered that a high concentration enough to cause slight pain in the upper respiratory mucosa can fundamentally treat colds. Good. ｛Effects｝ A cold refers to inflammation in the mucous membrane of the respiratory tract and is mostly caused by a virus. This cold virus is D
Without NA, it attaches to the upper respiratory tract mucosal cells of living mammals and birds, enters the cells and starts to proliferate. Thus, if the upper respiratory tract mucosal cells become physiologically dysfunctional, the cold virus cannot multiply. Since the cold virus loses its activity as an organism within a few hours at body temperature, it can fundamentally treat a cold such as influenza. The method for treating a common cold according to the present invention is effective in principle for all 230 cold viruses. Further, since no enzyme inhibitor is used, unlike the above-mentioned enzyme inhibitors, side effects due to the combined use of other drugs are hardly considered. In addition, since it is possible to take the form of being attached to a mask, the upper respiratory tract mucosal cells can be always physiologically dysfunctional and the drug can be converted into mucus, compared to the influenza treatment method in which the above-mentioned drug powder is inhaled at regular intervals. It is effective because it is not washed away. It can be inhaled along with breathing even for elderly people and infants who easily die from influenza. The present invention discloses, for the first time in the world, a method for completely treating all viral colds completely. In addition, absorption of antifermental substances such as pollen is also inhibited, so that the occurrence of immunocomplex is prevented and hay fever is treated in a timely manner. That is, while the treatment is being performed, fever and runny nose are treated.

[Example] Menthol is considered to be suitable as a drug to be used because of its ease of handling, low cost and harmlessness, but monohydric alcohol having anesthetic properties (such as ethyl alcohol) may be used. By inhaling the menthol vapor at a high concentration enough to cause mild pain in the upper respiratory mucosa, the cold such as influenza, parainfluenza, adeno, etc. can be alleviated in about 8 hours. In a cold with a cough, it takes a few days to regenerate the upper respiratory mucosal cells.
He has coughed for several days, but his general malaise has been removed. Runny nose stops while inhaling hay fever. When inhaled slowly,
It is effective, and it is desirable to adopt a form in which the mask is attached to a mask with reference to the past application examples. It is recommended to refer to past patent and utility model applications for how to attach the mask. It is still effective if inhaled in the early stage of a cold, and if you feel abnormalities in the upper respiratory tract mucosal cells, or when you have a runny nose, you can use low-concentration menthol vapors for the radical treatment. After the fever has developed), it is not possible to treat radically unless high-concentration menthol vapor is inhaled slowly enough to cause slight pain in the upper respiratory mucosa. From this, egg liquor is based on the principle described above, but is only useful for very early colds. When inhaling menthol vapor at a high concentration that causes mild pain to the upper respiratory mucosa in a sustained-release manner, the high fever can be reduced in one day, but a slight fever in the first half of 37 ° C may continue for several days. It is also effective in principle against influenza AH5 detected in Hong Kong (very toxic and difficult to produce vaccine, one out of three deaths). In particular, bedridden elderly people and infants who have died of influenza AH5 who have many deaths are inhaled by the above-mentioned Glaxo, Inc., a hydrocarbon inhalant that inhibits the enzyme that cuts off sialic acid.
This treatment, which can be inhaled with a mask, is effective because it cannot be used. Inhalants of hydrocarbon enzyme inhibitors (morning / noon /
(3 inhalations in the evening) is a drug powder and cannot be inhaled in a sustained-release manner. This treatment can be said to be the most effective cold treatment for influenza AH5, for which measures are urgently needed. Enzyme inhibitors are worried about side effects when used in combination with other drugs (such as anticancer drugs).
