Why the combination of the NeilMed® nasal rinse and corticosteroid nasal spray is so effective The Sinus Rinse nasal irrigator and the corticosteroid nasal spray are effective individually, but together they are even more effective. The Sinus Rinse nasal irrigator thoroughly cleanses the nose, removes mucus, crusts, and allergens, and supports the regeneration of the nasal mucosa. The corticosteroid nasal spray has a strong anti-inflammatory effect, relieves swelling and irritation, and provides long-lasting symptom control for chronic and allergic conditions. The combination of these two products offers an effective solution for treating nasal diseases such as sinusitis, rhinitis and rhinosinusitis. Studies show that the synergy of the two products leads to a better effect, as nasal irrigation optimizes the absorption of the nasal spray and enhances the anti-inflammatory effect. Benefits of combining the NeilMed® Sinus Rinse® nasal douche and corticosteroid nasal spray Improved absorption of the active ingredient: First, the sinus rinse nasal irrigator removes mucus, crusts, and allergens from the nose, preparing the nasal mucosa for the corticosteroid nasal spray. This allows the spray to reach the mucosa more effectively, resulting in more efficient absorption of the active ingredient and optimal anti-inflammatory effect. Stronger effect: The combined application provides a more intensive reduction of inflammation and improved symptom control compared to using the nasal spray alone. Recommended therapy: Worldwide guidelines recommend the combined use of nasal irrigation and corticosteroid nasal spray to optimize the treatment of allergic rhinitis and chronic rhinosinusitis. Instructions for use: For nasal care, rinse once or twice daily. In cases of more severe symptoms, the frequency can be increased to three to five times daily as needed. For general nasal care and cleansing, one salt sachet (2.4g) in 240ml of water (isotonic saline solution) is sufficient. To relieve severe nasal symptoms such as inflammation or irritation, the use of two salt sachets (4.8g) in 240ml of water (hypertonic saline solution) is recommended.
