Sachet Presentation

Each Sachet Contains:
Sodium Chloride IP 4.0 gm
(When reconstituted with 200 ml
purified water the resulting solution
contains Sodium Chloride IP 2%)
Preservative free

Sodium chloride is used as a source of electrolytes (minerals in body fluids) and water to prevent dehydration (when loss of water exceeds water intake) and replenish the loss of sodium from body fluids in conditions like metabolic alkalosis (acid-base imbalance in body fluids that can cause serious complications) or diarrhoea. Nasal Solution is a non-medicated, preservative free saline irrigation sachet for nasal and sinus washing. When mixed with lukewarm water, each 4.0 g sachet will produce 200 ml of saline wash for use. This solution is an alkaline buffered hypertonic (2%) saline with xylitol. Saline Nasal Irrigation (SNI) is known to be an adjunctive therapy for upper respiratory conditions which bathes the nasal cavity with saline solution. It is a simple, inexpensive procedure that has been used to treat upper respiratory conditions especially of the nasal cavity and the sinuses. SNI really is as simple as running a gentle saline solution through the nasal passages and sinuses. The procedure involves flushing the nasal cavity with saline solution which improves mucociliary clearance by moisturizing the nasal cavity and removing encrusted material. For the purpose of nasal irrigation, a high number of irrigation systems and methods are offered.

Uses

• Sinusitis
• Cold
• Flu
• Allergies
• Allergic rhinitis
• Runny Nose
• Removes inhaled irritants (dust, pollen)
• Nasal Stuffiness

Mechanism of Action

Saline Nasal Irrigation (SNI) is primarily a mechanical intervention leading to direct cleaning of the nasal mucosa, independent of the composition of the solution used for nasal washing. The mucus lining the nasal cavity may be softened and dislodged. Moreover, inflammatory mediators—such as prostaglandins and leukotrienes—and antigens responsible for allergic reactions can be removed favoring resolution of URTIs and AR. Impact of the salt concentration on mucociliary clearance through a modification of ciliary beating frequency is not defined because data collected in vitro and in vivo have been contradictory, it has been demonstrated that the composition and activity of nasal secretions are related to the tonicity of the solution. Administration of low-salt and isotonic solutions has been associated with an immediate, significant reduction in the microbial antigens and a related decline of microbial burden. In contrast, hypertonic solutions were found to be only marginally capable of influencing microbial antigen concentrations.

Direction of Use

• Dissolve the content of one packet in 200 ml lukewarm water (previously boiled)
• Stir thoroughly until dry ingredients have completed dissolved.
• Take the hypertonic saline solution in rubber bulb syringe by squeezing the bulb.
• Tilting the head, pour solution in one nostril.
• Proper head position allows solution to flow through the nose by gravity.
• The solution will freely flow through one nostril, comes out through the other, pulls along allergens and thick mucus.
• Once completed, exhale through both nostrils to clear excess mucus and solution.
• Repeat the procedure through other nostril

Warning

• To be used with Rubber bulb syringe only; provided along with the pack
• Each Sachet for Single Use Only.
