Sea water

Drug for moisturizing, cleansing, and protecting the nasal mucosa

Pharmacological Action

It helps to maintain the normal physiological state of the nasal mucosa, as well as to thin mucus and normalize its production by the goblet cells of the mucosa.

The trace elements that make up sea water have an anti-inflammatory effect, stimulate reparative processes, and improve the function of the ciliated epithelium, which increases the resistance of the mucous membrane to the invasion of pathogenic bacteria and viruses and promotes its cleansing.

Indications

• Prevention of nasal infections in the autumn-winter period, when climatic conditions change (air-conditioned and/or centrally heated rooms), in the presence of polluted atmospheric air (smokers, vehicle drivers, hot and dusty workshops);
• Washing of wounds of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses before and after surgical interventions;
• Hygienic procedures of the nasal cavity (including in infants).
