How does SNOTTY SPRAY work?

SNOTTY reduces swelling through an osmotic effect, accelerates mucociliary clearance (MCC) and thins mucus, thereby providing physiological control of the symptoms of rhinitis.

SNOTTY has no limitations on the frequency or duration of use. It can be used to reduce swelling and cleanse the nose as often and for as long as needed, without the risk of dependence, rebound congestion or systemic side effects.

High xylitol concentrations (12%) prevent microorganisms from adhering to the mucosal cells and the formation of biofilms, and have an antimicrobial effect on some pathogens as well.

Xylitol liquefies and facilitates the removal of mucus, retains moisture, whereby moisturizing and soothing irritated nasal mucosa, facilitating breathing and improving the quality of sleep in patients with acute and chronic infectious and allergic conditions of the nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses and nasopharynx.
