I recently received samples of 2 nasal sprays that I mentioned in my past blog article. On the left side is Muconase and on the right side is Sterimar Nasal Spray.
Both of these sprays are helpful for patients with nasal congestion. They moisten the nasal mucosa and facilitates evacuation of mucus and removal of crusts from the nose. Prolonged use doesn't cause rebound effect as with other nasal decongestants. They also do not cause nasal mucosal damage.
Muconase nasal spray is composed of 6.5 mg of sodium chloride (NaCl). It is available in 30 ml bottles.
Sterimar, on the other hand, is composed of sea water which means it has additional minerals and trace elements which is important in preventing and treating rhinitis. It contains silver and zinc (antiseptic), copper (anti-inflammatory) and manganese (anti-allergy). It is available in 50 ml cans. In the photo is the Sterimar Nasal Spray-baby. As you can see, it has a special nozzle which sort of acts as a stopper to prevent mothers from putting the nozzle to deeply in the nose of their babies. This one is for 3 years old and below.
Usually, 1-2 sprays are instilled in each nostril two to three times a day as needed for nasal congestion. Someone usually holds the head of my nephew to stabilize him because he doesn't want to sprayed in the nose. The spray is not painful but the sudden spray or pressure in the nose usually surprises/irritates him.
