Aqua maris ectoin spray 20ml

Medical indications for use

Aquamaris instructions for the throat describe the rules and effects of using the drug for throat diseases.

Diseases that Aquamaris aerosol helps to cure:

• adenoiditis;
• allergic runny nose;
• atrophic runny nose;
• vasomotor runny nose;
• chronic viral and bacterial runny nose;
• using a spray to prepare the mucous membrane for applying medication to it;
• laryngitis;
• ARVI;
• acute respiratory infections;
• after operations on the nasopharynx, to accelerate the growth of the epithelium;
• sinusitis;
• dry mucous membranes;
• tonsillitis;
• Use as a hygienic means for cleansing the nose and ears.

How to use Aquamaris throat spray instructions are attached, as you can do something wrong:

1. The spray can tube is positioned horizontally.
2. You need to open your mouth.
3. Breathing should be held.
4. The spray tube is inserted into the mouth and directed back into the pharynx.
5. For effective spraying, make several presses on the cap.

The peculiarities in the use of sprays or aerosols, calling them differently, are that Aqua Maris can be used to wash the throat, whereas other sprays are short-acting. The fact that Aqua Maris is produced using sea water makes it more physiological than most solutions for nasopharyngeal irrigation, and the price makes it easy to purchase this spray solution.

Since the production of Aqua Maris aerosol is based on its marine origin, its action is based on bringing the water-salt balance on the mucous membrane into equilibrium. The concentration of salts in the solution draws out excess fluid from edematous tissues, which is why there is such a wide range of its use for diseases of the nasopharynx.

Almost all inflammatory processes, viral or bacterial in origin, are accompanied by edema, which causes difficulty in nasal breathing and soreness in the pharynx and tonsils. The use of Aqua Maris simultaneously moisturizes the mucous membrane and brings swelling back to normal. The same thing happens after operations on the nasopharynx, when the mucous membrane is inflamed and dry. Aqua Maris creates moisture that is comfortable for the mucous membrane at the local level, without the formation of edema.

Indications for use of Aqua Maris

The drug is indicated for use for those patients who suffer from diseases or have specific conditions in the nasal area.

• For vasomotor and allergic rhinitis;
• For preventive measures and in the treatment of infectious diseases of the nasal cavity during viral epidemics and in the cold season;
• For dry mucous membranes in order to maintain its physiological characteristics in conditions that have undergone microclimatic changes (conditioned air, central heating, harmful effects of the atmosphere, smoking, harsh climatic conditions and difficult working conditions).

If treatment is necessary, nasal drops can be prescribed for infants from the very first day of life.

Aqua Maris during pregnancy

During pregnancy, the use of the drug is not prohibited, but is carried out only according to doctor's indications. The same recommendations apply to the period of breastfeeding.

Making your own saline solution

To obtain an isotonic solution with a similar composition as Aquamaris, you will need: 1 liter of boiled water, add 2 level teaspoons of iodized salt, 2 ampoules of calcium chloride, 1 ampoule of magnesium sulfate and stir (all ingredients can be purchased at the pharmacy).

The resulting solution can be poured into a bottle with a spray bottle (for example, from vasoconstrictor drops) and used as a spray.

The finished solution can be stored for no more than 48 hours, since it is not sterile, and the price, taking into account all the ingredients, is no more than 10 rubles per 1 liter, so this is the cheapest analogue of Aquamaris.

Aqualor or Aquamaris which is better?

Aqualor is the closest substitute drug for Aquamaris in composition, which differs slightly in price - the original is 40 rubles cheaper.

Manufacturers use sea water as active substances: Aqualor contains Atlantic water.

The active component is diluted to isotonic concentrations and sterilized.

Sea water is rich in salts and microelements, zinc, magnesium, iodine, selenium. There are no preservatives or dyes in the composition.

Aqualor, like Aquamaris, is presented in several forms:

• Baby – recommended for newborns.
• Soft (from six months) - helps to cope with dry nose and allergic runny nose.
• Norm (from six months) – prescribed as part of a comprehensive treatment of colds.
• Forte (from 12 months) – helps to cope with severe nasal congestion.
• Extra Forte (from 2 years) – for prolonged and chronic runny nose.

Quix or Aquamaris

Quix is ​​a German-made drug that contains water from the Atlantic Ocean.

The analogue is approved for use only from 3 months, while Aqua Maris drops can be used to treat newborns.

The difference in the cost of drugs is insignificant. Kwix is ​​presented only in the form of a nasal spray, and the product line is more modest than that of Aqua Maris:

• Classic Quix is ​​a hypertonic solution - this means that the concentration of sea water and salt in the drug is higher, and it is suitable as a replacement for AquaMarisa Strong.
• Quicks Aloe is an isotonic, “softer” solution, which contains sea water and aloe. The drug demonstrates moisturizing and softening properties.
• Quix Eucalyptus – additionally contains eucalyptus oil, which helps relieve nasal congestion.

A wider range of medicinal types of Aqua Marisa meets the needs of different groups of patients from birth.

If the patient needs to use a pure isotonic solution without the addition of plant substances, then preference is given to Aqua Marisu.

Adults, the elderly, as well as pregnant and lactating women can be offered Quix, which has a softening effect, clears the nasal passages of dust and mucus, and makes breathing easier.

The solution must be used within six months after the package is opened. The drug is safe if long-term use is necessary and is not addictive.
