Since 2011, Care Pharmaceuticals FESS® nasal and sinus saline washes and most nasal saline sprays have been approved by the National Asthma Council Australia’s Sensitive Choice® program and have proudly worn the blue butterfly logo on products and packaging2.
Your nose is your first line of defence against airborne allergens and other nasties. It’s important to look after it. If you feel a cold coming on – or you’re already suffering through the symptoms – there are things you can do to make yourself, feel a little better. Clearing up nasal congestion using FESS® is a practical and easy step you can take to relieve a blocked nose caused by excess mucus and it can help you breathe a little easier.
When you get a cold or flu, the mucus layer in your nose becomes thicker, which can lead to congestion. A simple way to relieve this congestion is through regular use of the FESS® non-medicated range of saline sprays, washes, and mists to help keep your nasal passages moist.
FESS® nasal saline sprays and washes help relieve nasal congestion by thinning excess nasal mucus and moisturising dry nasal passages.
Whether your congestion level is mild, moderate, or severe our range of nasal and sinus saline products can help you with your nose needs.
Dealing with mild to moderate congestion? Our FESS® Nasal Sprays may be the option for you. Struggling with moderate to severe congestion? FESS® Nasal & Sinus Wash Gentle Strength or Extra Strength or Mists are just what you need.
As a non-medicated saline solution, FESS® nasal saline sprays and washes can be used with other medicated nasal sprays. For each age group, there will be a suitable product.
FESS® nasal saline sprays and washes can be used before medicated nasal sprays such as decongestants, corticosteroids and antihistamines as the FESS® saline solution helps thin and clear excess mucus and helps improve the penetration of the medicated nasal spray.
Regular use of non-medicated FESS® nasal saline will also help keep your nose clear of excess mucus, allowing it to function at its best.
