This product is used to treat dryness inside the nose
(nasal passages). It helps add moisture inside the nose to dissolve and
soften thick or crusty mucus. In babies and young children with stuffy
noses who cannot blow their noses, using this product helps to make the
mucus easier to remove with a nasal bulb syringe. This helps relieve
stuffiness and makes breathing easier.
This product contains a purified gentle salt solution
(also called saline or sodium chloride solution). It does not contain any
medication.
Spray this product into each nostril as needed or as
directed by your doctor. This product may also be given into the nose as
drops or a stream. Follow all directions on the product package. If you

Try not to touch the container tip to the inside of your
nose. If this happens, rinse the tip with hot water and dry with a clean
tissue before recapping the container.
If your condition lasts or gets worse, or if you think
you may have a serious medical problem, get medical help right
away.
