What is Nasofed Anti Viral Nasal Spray?
Nasofed Anti Viral Nasal Spray is designed to create a protective barrier on the inside of the nasal cavity, working to defend against viruses and bacteria including coronaviruses and influenza. The ingredients in this nasal spray can prevent infection by blocking the entry of viruses into cells, stopping them from ‘sticking’ to host cells in your body. The moisturising water-oil emulsion in Nasofed Anti Viral Nasal Spray will also prevent any stinging or irritation.
How does the unique thixotropic formula protect against viruses?
Nasofed Anti Viral Nasal Spray contains a thixotropic formula that delivers a potent, longer-lasting protective barrier compared to conventional nasal sprays. This works by forming a film that adheres to the nasal surface, meaning the solution is prevented from leaking out of the nose and prolonged protection is therefore provided.
Which types of virus can Nasofed Anti Viral Nasal Spray protect against?
Nasofed Anti Viral Nasal Spray includes broad-spectrum ingredients that exhibit powerful antiviral properties against a range of viruses and bacteria. The formula has been scientifically proven to be effective against rhinoviruses, coronaviruses, influenza viruses and bacteria that cause inflammation of nasal mucosa and sinuses.
