The medication is used for the treatment and prevention of runny nose of various etiologies, pharyngitis, gingivitis, tonsillitis, sinusitis and other ENT pathologies of the nasopharynx and oral cavity. The drug helps to increase the immunity of the nasopharyngeal mucosa.

Aqua Maris is a solution without color and pronounced odor. The medicine is packaged in 10 ml transparent polyethylene dropper bottles. The branded cardboard pack contains one bottle of medicine and a leaflet with a detailed description.

The composition of 100 ml of solution includes:

• 30 ml of sterile water of the Adriatic Sea (Adriatic);
• 70 ml purified water (auxiliary component).

It is these components that provide the therapeutic and preventive effect of the drops. The drug is produced in the Croatian Republic by the well-known pharmaceutical company JADRAN GALENSKI LABORATORIJ.

Action and effect of using “Aquamaris”

Isotonic natural water taken from the sea helps to normalize the physiological state of the tissues and mucous membranes located in the nose. It helps to liquefy accumulated mucus and stimulates the normal level of its production, which occurs in goblet cells located in the mucous walls of the nasal cavity.

The use of sea water for irrigation or rinsing of the nose helps to significantly reduce the spread of infection in the sinuses and ear cavity in inflammatory diseases (sinusitis, otitis media, frontal sinusitis, etc.). The use of “Aquamaris Norm” (spray) according to the instructions in the treatment of colds allows you to increase the therapeutic effectiveness of other medications. This helps reduce the duration of the respiratory disease and avoid complications.

Also, Aquamaris liquid is prescribed for irrigation of the upper respiratory tract in order to accelerate tissue healing after surgery to remove adenoids, polyps and after septoplasty. This drug is recommended for constant use by people who work in hazardous industries (vehicle drivers, workers in dusty or hot workshops), live in regions with harsh climatic conditions, as well as for smokers.

Pharmacological properties

Aqua Maris Norm rinsing solution mechanically removes dust, mucus clots, pus, crusts and pathogens from the nasal cavity. By restoring the patency of the respiratory canals, the drug improves the patient’s objective well-being and accelerates his overall recovery.

The chemical components of water from the Adriatic Sea have an additional anti-inflammatory effect on the mucous membranes, and also improve their susceptibility to other medications. The local immunity of the nasopharynx is effectively strengthened, contraction of the ciliated epithelium is provoked and the release of a protective layer of mucus that moisturizes the inhaled air.

Under the influence of the solution, metabolic and regenerative processes in tissues improve, significantly reducing the recovery period after surgical interventions. The risk of recurrent infections and the development of postoperative complications in the nasal cavity is noticeably reduced.

Contraindications

“Aquamaris Spray” and nasal drops are prescribed by a doctor:

• For the treatment of atrophic and allergic rhinitis, as well as their prevention.
• For sick adults and children to increase humidity and cleanse the mucous membranes of the sinuses during inflammation of the tissues of the nasopharynx.
• In complex treatment and for the prevention of acute respiratory viral infections (ARVI) or influenza.
• Patients suffering from dry nasal mucosa, as well as those who are constantly in an air-conditioned room at work. The drug helps maintain the physiological parameters of the nasopharyngeal mucosa.
• For the treatment of acute and chronic diseases of the nasal cavity and throat (sinusitis, rhinitis, tonsillitis, adenoiditis).
• For elderly people in order to prevent atrophic changes in the mucous membrane that occur with age.

• When preparing mucous surfaces for subsequent drug use.
• To cleanse the nasal cavity from dust, viruses and bacteria, pollen or smoke.
• With long-term therapy with corticosteroid drugs, which cause drying of the mucous tissues in the nasal cavity.

Ectoine is one of the components produced by halophilic microorganisms in nature, which are able to survive in any, even the most unfavorable environmental conditions. The substance has increased hydrophilicity. With its help, a special hydrocomplex is formed, which settles on the mucous tissues of the nose.

• Vitamins E and A are necessary for moisturizing and increasing the elasticity of the epidermis, promoting softening and healing.

Instructions for use of the ointment prescribe its use by applying to the skin several times a day. It can also be used for allergic skin reactions. It is first recommended to wash the desired area of ​​the epidermis with warm water and blot well with a paper or cloth napkin.
