Physiomer has anti-inflammatory as well as anti-edema effects.
Nasal spray promotes intensive washing of the nasal cavity, has a cleansing and moisturizing effect, and with it improves the healing processes of the nasal mucosa. Also, washing procedures help eliminate mucus, reduce secretions and reduce swelling of the nasal mucosa (it can be triggered by pathogenic or allergic causes).
The medicine helps to improve breathing through the nose, softens and eliminates the crusts inside it and speeds up the healing that is required, for example, after performing operations (you should consult a doctor before use).

Release form
The release of drugs produced in the form of a spray - inside the bottle with a capacity of 115 ml (for children) and 135 or 210 ml (normal); Included is a spray nozzle.
Pharmacodynamics
The water jet medication mechanically affects the mucous membranes; due to the specific trophic effect exerted by microelements and salts, the protective properties of mucous membranes are restored.
Salt-soluble salts help liquefy mucus and stabilize its production inside mucous goblet cells.
Trace elements stimulate the activity of ciliated cells located in the ciliated epithelium and potentiate the resistance of the nasal mucosa against pathogenic viruses with bacteria, and in addition, the cleaning activity during mechanical pollution (pollen with dust, etc.).
