• use during daily hygiene procedures to minimize the likelihood of flu and colds (during epidemics);

When and how to use

Aqualor is used both for prevention and for complex treatment of chronic and acute diseases accompanied by inflammation of the mucous membrane.

• Inflammation of the pharynx, acute and chronic,
• Chronic tonsillitis,
• Acutely developing sore throat,
• Epiglottitis (inflammation of the epiglottis),
• Infection of the larynx, vocal apparatus,
• Dental infections.

In the case of ARVI, treatment can be achieved by using Aqualor for local treatment of the inflamed mucosa. Together with drinking plenty of fluids and following a gentle daily routine, it will ensure normal recovery. But if you suspect an infection of bacterial or fungal origin, you should consult a doctor. Perhaps in this case it will not be possible to do without much stronger means.

Aqualor spray can be sprayed from any angle, using it in any position (even lying down), since the shower does not change the nature of its spray, and the medicine itself does not spill from the bottle.

pharmachologic effect

Aqualor Forte for nasal rinsing contains sterile sea water, which irrigates and cleanses the nasal mucosa, helps reduce swelling, and eliminates nasal congestion. The product is used to remove mucus from the nasal passages, soften and subsequently remove hard crusts. Thanks to the difference in osmotic pressure, the Aqualor Forte “shower” effectively removes accumulated fluid from the intercellular space. This helps normalize nasal breathing. Regular use of Aqualor Forte “shower” for the nose accelerates recovery from acute respiratory diseases, and increases the therapeutic effectiveness of other medications used to restore the nasopharyngeal mucosa. Aqualor Forte “shower” for nasal congestion provides increased local immunity, regeneration of mucosal tissue, immediate hydration and easier breathing.

Side effects

In most cases, nasal products that contain trace elements and minerals from sea water do not cause side effects. The instructions for use indicate that no side effects were observed, but if the aerosol is used incorrectly, like other drugs, negative reactions are possible. Prolonged rinsing causes tingling in the nose, provokes hyperemia (swelling and redness) and irritation of the mucous membrane. Unpleasant symptoms go away on their own, without treatment and after stopping the medication.

Terms of sale and storage

Various forms of the Aqualor line of drugs are available without a prescription, so if necessary, you can always purchase drops or spray. According to the instructions, the shelf life of the medicine is 3 years, starting from the date indicated on the package.

Purchase and storage

Both baby drops and all sprays are over-the-counter products, so they can be freely purchased at any pharmacy. However, it is still advisable to consult a doctor before purchasing, so that a specialist can suggest which of the Aqualors is best suited for a particular child.

The cost depends on the type of drug and its volume in the bottle. For example, for “Aqualor Baby” drops you need to pay about 140 rubles, a large bottle of “Aqualor throat” costs an average of 350 rubles, and the price of “Aqualor norm” spray is approximately 370 rubles.

Since there is an antiseptic coating inside the cylinders, and special technology is used in the production of sprays to maintain sterility, all versions of Aqualor in spray form can be stored for 3 years from the date of issue. But “baby” drops are only good for 45 days after the first use.

Properties of Aqualor

By abundantly watering the mucous membrane, Aqualor for the throat is able to wash away excess mucus and pus from the surface of the pharynx and pharynx. This leads to a decrease in the number of viruses and bacteria in the oropharynx and reduces the overall contamination with microbes.

If there is dried mucus in the form of crusts, which often cause pain and irritation in the throat, Aqualor softens and washes them out.

Active moistening of the mucous membrane with the drug leads to a decrease in pain, including when swallowing, and relief from the feeling of tickling, burning, and dryness.

Sea water in combination with plant components can locally have an antiseptic effect on pathogens, reduce the manifestation of inflammation, swelling, and redness of the throat mucosa.

Regular treatment with Aqualor promotes rapid recovery of the oropharyngeal mucosa after inflammation and stimulates regeneration processes.

The spray, by moisturizing the mucous membrane, helps maintain its normal functions, including normalizing the functioning of local immunity, on which, as is known, the frequency of throat diseases in humans largely depends.

This property of the drug underlies its preventive properties to prevent the incidence of ARVI during the epidemic season in children and adults. Aloe vera extract also has a local immunostimulating effect.

The spray is recommended for use before using any other drugs for local treatment of inflammation of the oropharynx. The spray pre-cleanses the mucous membrane of the throat and increases the medicinal effectiveness of other drugs - antiseptics, antibiotics, anesthetics, antiallergic drugs.

1. Disinfecting, anti-inflammatory, and local moisturizing effect.
2. Relieving pain, burning and dryness when swallowing.
3. Cleansing the oral cavity, mucous membrane of the throat and tonsils from harmful microorganisms.
4. Elimination of purulent plaque.

8. Improving the clinical effectiveness of other drugs that are used to treat diseases of the mouth and throat.

Aqualor during pregnancy

The drug does not affect the development and growth of the fetus, as well as the course of pregnancy. Many doctors recommend using the drug for prevention purposes at an increased threshold for colds. At the first signs of rhinitis, the drug is also effective, increases local immunity, speeds up the recovery period, and eliminates nasal congestion.

During pregnancy, a runny nose can cause a lot of trouble and even harm the baby. When the nose is stuffy, breathing is impaired, the fetus does not receive enough oxygen, which can lead to hypoxia and developmental delays. The use of Aqualor or its close analogues will help eliminate possible risks.
