Pharmacological action

The product is intended for the prevention and comprehensive treatment of ENT diseases in children aged 2 years and adults by irrigation and washing of the nasal cavity.

The product is designed to remove excess mucus, reduce secretions, soften and remove crusts, moisten the nasal mucosa.

• It has a beneficial effect on the mucous membrane of the nasal cavity and nasopharynx, helps to reduce nasal congestion and restore nasal breathing.
• Provides the most thorough washing of the nasal cavity, contributes to the removal of any pathogen (viral, bacterial, fungal), as well as allergens and dust particles from the mucous membrane of the nasal cavity and nasopharynx due to spray “shower” and adding in a solution of sea water bubbles of carbon dioxide (CO₂), without disturbing the ecological community (normal microflora) of the mucous membrane of the nasal cavity.

CO2 bubbles also contribute to the destruction of bacterial biofilms, which have the ability to protect themselves from the effects of antibiotics (causing antibiotic resistance), antiseptics, factors of the human immune system and cause acute and chronic inflammatory diseases.

The salts contained in seawater help to dilute mucus, normalize its production in the goblet-shaped cells of the mucous membrane, make it difficult to form and mature new biofilms, which reduces the bacterial load on the nasal mucosa and increases the effectiveness of antibacterial drugs when used.

Calcium and magnesium ions contained in the salt significantly improve the function of the cells of the ciliated epithelium of the nasal mucosa, normalize the rheological properties of mucus, and increase resistance to the introduction of viruses and bacteria. Iodine and sodium chloride have antiseptic properties. Zinc and selenium ions create conditions for activation of local immunity of the nasal mucosa and paranasal sinuses.

Hypertonic solution of sea water reduces the swelling of the nasal mucosa, due to the removal of excess fluid from the intercellular space due to the difference in osmotic pressure.

After washing the nasal cavity with the product, the therapeutic effectiveness of drugs applied to the nasal mucosa increases, the duration of respiratory diseases is reduced, and the risk of infection spreading to the paranasal sinuses and ear cavity is reduced.

The product is intended for individual use in one patient, in order to avoid infectious contamination. Conditions of use: at home and in medical institutions.
