WICK Nasivin Classic gentle 0.05 % - nasal spray, 10 ML

WICK Nasivin Classic Gentle 0.05% nasal spray is a medicinal product containing the active ingredient oxymetazoline hydrochloride, for the local treatment of a runny nose (acute, allergic or post-nasal drip).

Spraying the solution into both nostrils reduces swelling of the inflamed nasal mucosa and minimises excessive mucus secretion. This enables free breathing through the nose. At the same time, it helps to keep the Eustachian tubes clear and reduces swelling of the throat lining.

Furthermore, the active ingredient has been shown to have antiviral, immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects.

The effect of WICK Nasivin Classic Gentle sets in within a few seconds (average onset of action: 25 seconds) and lasts for up to 12 hours on average. It has been shown that treatment with WICK Nasivin Classic Gentle reduces the duration of a cold from an average of 6 days to 4 days, compared with the use of a physiological saline solution.

WICK Nasivin Classic 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 cases of sinusitis and in cases of tubal catarrh associated with a cold.
• for diagnostic decongestion of the mucous membranes.

If you do not feel any better, or if your condition worsens, after 7 days, consult your doctor.
