PRODUCT DETAILS

Composition

This is a non-medicated saline (salt water) nasal spray, typically containing:

• Sodium chloride (NaCl) ~0.65%–0.9% (isotonic saline)
• Purified/sterile water
• Possible buffering agents (to maintain pH)
• Some variants may include mild preservatives depending on brand

Saline sprays contain no active decongestant drugs—only salt water.

Use / Indication

• Relief of blocked or stuffy nose
• Common cold and flu symptoms
• Allergic rhinitis (hay fever)
• Sinus congestion
• Dry nasal passages (air conditioning, dust, pollution)
• Helps thin mucus and flush out irritants like pollen and dust
• Can be used for daily nasal hygiene and prevention of crusting

Saline works by moisturizing, thinning mucus, and clearing irritants from the nasal passages.

Direction of Use

• Blow nose gently before use
• Tilt head slightly forward
• Insert nozzle into nostril
• Spray 1–2 times per nostril as needed
• Use 2–4 times daily or as required
• Can be used long-term if needed
• Wipe nozzle after use and keep bottle closed

Side Effects

Usually very safe, but mild effects may include:

• Slight stinging or burning
• Sneezing after use
• Temporary nasal irritation
• Mild runny nose

Serious side effects are very rare.

Warning

• Do not share nasal spray with others (infection risk)
• Do not use if solution becomes cloudy or contaminated
• Stop use if persistent irritation occurs
• Use only as directed on label for preserved formulations
• Seek medical care if congestion persists despite regular use

Interaction

• No significant drug interactions
• Safe with:
• Antihistamines
• Antibiotics
• Paracetamol / ibuprofen
• Decongestant sprays (if prescribed)

Caution

• Safe for infants, children, adults, and elderly
• Can be used long-term (unlike medicated decongestant sprays)
• In post-nasal surgery or chronic sinus disease, use only if advised
• If nasal blockage is persistent, saline helps symptoms but does not treat underlying infection or structural problems
