Cough & Cold

Nasal Spray

The nasal spray with 2% Ectoin® is intended for the treatment and prevention of non-allergic rhinitis or rhinosinusitis associated with common cold. By means of  Ectoin® it reduces the inflammation of the nasal mucosa and the sinuses and reduces the symptoms of common cold.


The nasal spray is hypertonic, that means it has a higher salt concentration than the human body. Therefore  this nasal spray decongests the nose und sinuses on a natural physical way. Thus it helps to reduce the application of common decongestant nasal sprays, which normally have several side-effects and lead to habituation.
