Nazaval and nazaval plus - what are the differences?

Differences in composition make these medications somewhat different. As the instructions indicate, in addition to micronized cellulose, Nazaval Plus contains garlic extract; it is no different in anything else. The release form is also interesting - it is a spray, inside of which there is a powder for spraying. Nazaval plus is used in children from the same age as the regular medication.

Garlic has antiseptic and antimicrobial properties and helps cleanse the nasal mucosa from harmful viruses and microbes.

Instructions for use of Nazaval

Barrier otolaryngological drug Nazaval is a local nasal spray designed to protect the nasal mucosa from contact with allergens and pollutants that enter the nasal cavity by airborne droplets. Among the most common sources of irritation are:

• plant pollen;
• fungi;
• epidermal pathogens of birds and animals;
• cockroaches and insects;
• dust mites and house dust;
• household chemicals.

Composition and release form

The drug is an inert fine powder with natural ingredients. Nazaval is available in the pharmacy chain as a nasal spray in a polyethylene bottle with a patented dispenser and a screw cap.

Pharmacological properties

The topical medication does not contain systemically active ingredients and has a barrier effect. Nazaval spray is intended to prevent the occurrence of symptoms characteristic of allergic rhinitis - itching, swelling of the nasal mucosa, breathing problems, excessive liquid discharge, sneezing attacks. The substances of the drug create a natural filter barrier, protecting the nasal cavity from aeroallergens and pollutants penetrating through the inhaled air.

Cellulose particles, when injected, enter the nasal cavity, reacting with the mucus of the mucous membrane and forming an invisible gel-like film. This creates a protective layer that prevents the penetration of allergens from the external environment. Nazaval with garlic helps to cope with the first signs of colds and acute respiratory diseases, suppressing further proliferation of pathogenic microflora. The onset of drug function is observed 10-15 minutes after administration.

Indications for use

The main purpose of the nasal spray is to protect the nasal cavity from the aggressive effects of environmental factors that cause allergies. The effectiveness of the drug in the treatment of allergic rhinitis caused by the body's reaction to pollutants and irritants: pollen, chemical compounds, house dust, fungus, dust mites, epidermal elements of animal origin has been proven. According to the instructions, Nazaval is recommended to be used to prevent the development of the following symptoms:

• copious secretion of mucus from the nasal cavity;
• difficulty natural breathing;
• swelling of the mucous membrane of the nasopharynx;
• redness and itching in the nose;
• bouts of sneezing.

Mode of application

Dosed drops are injected into each nasal passage 15 minutes before expected contact with the source of the allergy or after the onset of its symptoms. Before use, you need to make sure that the nozzle is installed correctly and spraying will be successful. It is tightly attached to the dispenser and the first few doses are test-sprayed into the air to ensure correct installation. Then follows the procedure for cleaning the nose; to do this, you need to rinse it with running water or with a saline solution. After the cleansing procedure, the medication is sprayed into each nostril once. Can be used an unlimited number of times.

Before you start using the medication, you must set up the dispenser to ensure its effective operation. For this purpose, the bottle should be placed at a safe distance from you, press on the sides of the bottle, making 2-3 injections into the air. As a result of such manipulations, a trickle of white mixture and the smell of mint should appear. The procedure for administering a medicine includes performing actions in a certain sequence:

2. Close one nostril.
3. Insert the dosing device in the opposite direction.
4. Inhale and press the sides of the bottle, injecting a small amount of powder.
5. You should hold your breath for a few seconds, and then inhale smoothly and deeply so that the liquid gets into all parts of the nasal passage.
6. Do the same with the other nostril.

To prevent the penetration of allergens into the systemic bloodstream, it is recommended to use the medication intranasally before or during the onset of symptoms of allergic rhinitis. The standard dosage for children and adults is 1 injection into each nostril 3-4 times a day with an interval of 6 hours. If necessary, the daily frequency of taking the medication is increased.
