Nasivin Classic gentle is a medicine for the topical treatment of the common cold.

Application

What is Nasivin gentle and what is it used for?

Nasivin gentle is a medicine for the topical treatment of the common cold. By spraying the solution into both nostrils, the inflamed nasal mucosa swells and the excessive secretion is reduced. This enables free breathing through the nose. At the same time, the ear trumpets are kept free and the throat mucosa is decongested.
In addition, antiviral, immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects have been proven for the active ingredient.
The effect of Nasivin gentle sets in within a few seconds (mean onset of action of 25 seconds) and lasts for up to 12 hours on average.
It has been shown that treatment with Nasivin gentle leads to a reduction in the duration of the common cold from an average of 6 days to 4 days compared to the use of a physiological saline solution.

Nasivin gentle is used
- for the treatment of acute rhinitis (rhinitis acuta), allergic rhinitis (rhinitis allergica) and episodic runny nose (rhinitis vasomotorica).
- To facilitate the drainage of secretions in inflammations of the paranasal sinuses and in tubal catarrh in conjunction with rhinitis.
- For diagnostic swelling of the mucous membranes.

If you do not feel better or even worse after 7 days, consult your doctor.
