Pharmacological properties

This drug belongs to a group of pharmaceuticals – combinations of salt formulations that are recommended for use in the treatment and prevention of diseases of the nasal sinuses.
The main active ingredients are the mineral salts of sodium, potassium and magnesium.
This solution is isotonic and sterile, and is used to flush, moisturize and cleanse the mucous membranes of the sinuses.
This use of the drug leads to the fact that in the nose the mud particles accumulating in the sinuses soften and facilitate their removal.
If the patient has an excessively thick discharge, the drug will cause them to liquefy, including if they are observed with allergies or colds.
Also, this solution containing mineral salts helps to maintain a normal physiological state on the nasal mucous membranes due to its ability to improve the state of the ciliated epithelium. The latter improves the resistance of the nasal mucosa to the effects of bacterial microorganisms and viruses.

This drug SeptoAqua for children is used to treat:

• inflammatory diseases of the nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses and nasopharynx;
• after surgical operations in the nasal cavity;
• allergic and vasomotor rhinitis, adenoiditis.

It is also used as a prophylactic agent in the autumn-winter epidemiological period.
It is effective in the use of excessive dryness of the mucous membranes of the nose, including when working in hot climates, with active operation of air conditioners, in smokers.
