Product Information
Full details
The Nasofed Saline Nasal Spray is designed for children over one year old experiencing discomfort from nasal congestion due to colds, dryness, or hayfever. Its key benefit is providing rapid, drug-free relief by thinning mucus and clearing nasal passages for easier breathing. A caveat to note is that it is intended for symptomatic relief and not as a treatment for underlying conditions. This isotonic saline solution effectively reduces discomfort, clears and cleanses nasal passages, and soothes dry or hardened mucus.

FAQs
How often can I use Nasofed Saline Nasal Spray?
Nasofed Saline Nasal Spray can be used as often as needed to help relieve nasal congestion and dryness. As it is drug-free and steroid-free, it is safe for regular use.
Can this spray be used for babies?
Yes, the product is suitable for infants, as well as children over one year and adults.
What is the active ingredient?
The active ingredient is sodium chloride, in an isotonic saline solution.
Will this help with allergies?
Yes, the saline solution helps to wash away allergens such as pollen from the nasal passages, providing relief from hayfever symptoms.
How do I store the nasal spray?
Store the spray at room temperature (below 25°C), away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep the cap on when not in use.
Is this product suitable for long-term use?
As it is a drug-free and steroid-free saline solution, it is generally safe for long-term use to manage chronic dryness or congestion.
What is the difference between isotonic and hypertonic saline?
Isotonic saline has a salt concentration similar to that of the body's fluids, making it gentle for cleansing and moisturizing. Hypertonic saline has a higher salt concentration and can help draw fluid out of swollen nasal tissues more effectively, but may cause a stinging sensation.
Troubleshooting
Nasal spray is not dispensing
Ensure the nozzle is not blocked. Gently clear any obstructions with a damp cloth and try pumping the nozzle a few times. Check that the pump mechanism is correctly assembled.
Child is resistant to application
Try to make the experience as calm and quick as possible. Distract the child with a toy or song. Reassure them that it will help them breathe better. A calm parent can help calm a child.
No noticeable relief
Ensure the spray is administered correctly, directing the nozzle towards the inner wall of the nostril. Allow a few moments for the saline to work. If symptoms are severe, a second application may be needed, or consult a healthcare professional.
