How it works
Isotonic saline solution (0.9% NaCl equivalent from sea water) cleanses and moisturizes the nasal mucosa without causing osmotic disturbance. It promotes mucociliary clearance, removes allergens and pathogens, and restores normal nasal humidity.
Storage
Store at room temperature away from direct sunlight. Do not freeze. Keep the nozzle cap closed when not in use.
