These drugs are widely used both for the prevention and treatment of many pathologies of the oropharynx and nasopharynx.

AquaMaris line of preparations - properties and indications for use

Preparations manufactured by Yadran are intended for the treatment of otorhinolaryngological diseases. Medicines of the AquaMaris line (translated from Latin as "sea water") are presented in the form of sterile solutions of the water of the Adriatic Sea.

By general rule with nasal congestion, you should first remove the swelling of the mucous membrane with a vasoconstrictor and only then rinse. This rule does not apply to Aquamaris for the throat and ears.

ear spray - 2 times a week or less.

Instructions for use Aquamaris does not limit the period of use (except for the Strong spray). Despite the fact that these products are exclusively natural in their composition, they should not be used constantly without the need.

For kids

The Croatian manufacturer produces a separate children's Aquamaris baby, which differs from the adult version of Norm in a small volume and a nozzle that is more convenient for insertion into a child's nose. Spray "baby" is indicated for use in children from 3 months. Aquamaris baby has no fundamental difference in composition.

Starting from the age of 2, the manufacturer advises the use of standard adult-oriented sprays. In accordance with the instructions for use of Aquamaris, children can use the products of this series as often and in dosages similar to adults.

For the hygiene of the noses of newborns, starting from the first day of life, Jadran Galenski Laboratories produces special drops for regular care and prevention of the common cold.

Types of Aquamaris and their composition

General characteristics of the composition of Aquamarines

Most Aqua Maris products contain sea water diluted with purified distilled water. For one part of sea salt water, depending on the type of product, there are approximately 2 parts of pure water without impurities.

Since the manufacturer of Aquamiris is located in Croatia on the Adriatic Sea, it is from his pool that he takes water for all products of the series. The Adriatic Sea is not the cleanest body of water on earth. In the instructions for use of Aquamaris, it is noted that the company Jadran Galenski Laboratories filters and sterilizes sea water in a special way, preserving all the original trace elements in it.

These are the elements:

Calcium;
magnesium;
zinc;
selenium;
sodium salt (also known as "cooking").

Calcium and magnesium improve metabolic processes in mucosal cells. Zinc and selenium have a local immunostimulating effect. Iodized salt stimulates the production of mucous secretion, which moisturizes the inhaled air and has a protective function.

The listed microelements are contained in all means of the considered line. In the instructions for use of Aquamaris, the manufacturer notes that it is the presence of trace elements and the sterility of the solution that give their products the maximum therapeutic effect.

small tip specially designed for the noses of babies from 3 months.

In the instructions for use of Aquamaris, it is noted that children, starting from the age of 2, can rinse their nose with an adult Norm remedy.

Aquamaris drops are available in 10 ml bottles and are suitable for use in children from birth.

The ratio of sea and ordinary water - 30%: 70%

Aquamaris Plus

Spray Aquamaris Plus is available in 30 ml glass bottles with a plastic tip. The release of the contents does not occur due to internal pressure, but with a single press on the plastic tip.
The composition of Aqua Maris Plus is different from the classic version:

The ratio of sea and ordinary water is 25%: 75%.
dexpanthenol - 1.33 g.

Dexpanthenol, a derivative of vitamin B5, gives additional effectiveness to the stimulating and regenerating effect of seawater microelements.

Increases local immunity of the nasal mucosa;
contributes to the formation of a more stable response to the invasion of viruses and bacteria.

Dolphin or Aquamaris?

The Russian manufacturer offers an analogue to the Aqua Maris nasal lavage device called Dolphin. The device has proven itself in domestic patients suffering from chronic rhinitis and sinusitis.

Unlike Dolphin, the Aquamaris device allows you to rinse your nose exclusively by the free flow of water without pressure.

Terms and conditions of storage

The manufacturer guarantees that all useful properties solutions based on sea water for 3 years. All products assume room temperature storage. Pressurized cylinders must be kept away from sources of heat.
