Treatment of children

There is no contradiction: the drug is produced in the form of a spray, and it is permissible to use it from 3 years. When treating the pharynx with a spray, it is better to hold your breath, because many components in other sprays and aerosols cannot be inhaled. Children under 3 often cannot do this.

There is nothing wrong with accidental inhalation of Aqua Maris, which is why it can be used in young children under the control of respiratory function. The one who treats the throat of a child must find a moment between inhalation and exhalation for spraying. After a while, you need to make sure that there are no problems with the respiratory system.

Especially the drug is indicated for babies who do not know how to gargle or do it extremely reluctantly. Since Aqua Maris does not have a strong smell or taste, children willingly agree to be treated.

But since aquamaris for the throat for children is a medicinal drug, it, like other means for treatment, can be used only on the direct instructions of the doctor. Aqua Maris will not cure angina, pharyngomycosis (fungal infection of the pharynx), bacterial pharyngitis (in the presence of mucopurulent discharge from the pharynx), and other severe infections. Such diseases are treated in a complex way, with the help of antibiotics, antifungal agents. Aqua Maris can be a good addition to treatment as a preparation for local treatment of the pharynx and pharynx.

Spray Aquamaris for the throat is designed to moisturize the mucous membranes with insufficient humidity in the room. In winter, when the heating is turned on, the air in residential and office spaces becomes too dry, so moisturizing sprays are very helpful to compensate for the missing moisture.

Aerosols Aqua Maris are among the means that are not drugs, but have an effect on the mucous membranes, similar to a medicinal one.

Sea water has qualities that are not characteristic of fresh water. The point is not the presence of salts, but their proportions, which in the preparation resemble the ratios in living organisms. To some extent, sea water is alive, and life itself originated in the sea.

All types of Aqua Maris are prepared from sea water, it is filtered and purified by adding distilled water.

However, the following salts remain in the purified solution:

  • potassium;
  • calcium;
  • carbonates;
  • silicon;
  • magnesium;
  • manganese;
  • selenium;
  • salt (NaCl);
  • sulfates;
  • fluorine;
  • chlorides;
  • zinc.

Such elements, or rather their salts, such as selenium and zinc, are important for the development of immunity, calcium and magnesium are needed for the normal physiology of the mucosa, then salt with iodine activates the work of the glands to moisturize the mucosa. Sea water must be purified, because in addition to minerals it contains a lot of biological material, because the sea is full of life.

Types of Aqua Maris and their composition:

  1. At Aqua Maris Baby the packaging is small, this is how it differs from Aqua Maris Norm, it has a spray bottle with a capacity of 30 ml. A special tip is attached to it, for children from 3 months. Aquamaris for children for the throat helps maintain physiological moisture in the baby's throat.
  2. Drops Aqua Maris for children is intended for the smallest children, just born, therefore the bottle is small, only 10 ml and there is exactly one third of sea water in it, the rest is distilled.
  3. Aqua Maris Throat differs from other species in that it has a higher concentration of sea salt and is intended to moisten the pharyngeal mucosa. Produce it in cans with a capacity of 30 ml.
  4. Aqua Maris Classic, it was the first to be produced, it is produced in glass bottles with a capacity of 30 ml, it is intended for the prevention of rhinitis, for moisturizing the nasal mucosa. By filling, it contains 1/3 sea water and 2/3 ordinary distilled water.
  5. Aqua Maris Norm produced in metal cans with a release button, the ratio of sea and distilled water is 1:3. Three types of spray are available in 50 ml bottles, for long-term use there are 100 ml and 150 ml bottles.
  6. Aqua Maris Oto intended for ear hygiene in metal cans of 100 ml with a special nozzle for the ears, the composition does not differ from the Norms.
  7. Aqua Maris Plus as well as the classic one, they are produced in glass bottles with a capacity of 50 ml. There is no pressure in the can, the contents are sprayed when you press the tip. As part of Maris Plus, there is less sea water and more than 1/5 of ordinary water. In addition, the composition includes dexpanthenol, which is a type of vitamin B5 and has a stimulating effect on the regeneration of mucous membranes.
  8. Aqua Maris Sens differs in that it contains ectoine, and there is no sea salt, instead of it, simple salt, since the remedy is intended for people suffering from allergies. Produced in bottles under pressure of 20 ml.
  9. Aqua Maris Strong It is produced with natural sea water, without the addition of distilled water and therefore the concentration of salts in it is higher. The throat and nose are not washed with this solution, but sprayed to reduce swelling. The drug helps those who are prohibited from vasoconstrictors. Pressurized cartridges are available in 30 ml.

As you can see, all types of Aqua Maris are made from sea natural water, which is the reason for the hypertonic properties of the solutions, which determine the medicinal qualities.

Medical indications for the use of Aqua Maris

Aquamaris instructions for the throat describes the rules and effects of the use of the drug in diseases of the throat.

Diseases that Aqua Maris aerosol helps to cure:

  • adenoiditis;
  • runny nose allergic;
  • runny nose atrophic;
  • runny nose vasomotor;
  • chronic viral and bacterial rhinitis;
  • the use of a spray to prepare the mucosa for applying medication to it;
  • SARS;
  • after operations on the nasopharynx, to accelerate the growth of the epithelium;
  • sinusitis;
  • dryness of the mucosa;
  • tonsillitis;
  • use as a hygienic agent for cleansing the nose and ears.

How to use aquamaris throat spray instructions are attached, as you can do something wrong:

  1. The tube of the spray can is placed horizontally.
  2. You need to open your mouth.
  3. Breathing should be held.
  4. The nebulization tube is inserted into the mouth and directed back into the throat.
  5. For effective spraying, make several clicks on the cap.

Features in the use of sprays or aerosols, calling them differently, are that Aqua Maris can just wash the throat, while other sprays are short-acting. The fact that Aqua Maris is made with sea water makes it more physiological than most nasopharyngeal irrigation solutions, and the price makes it easy to purchase this spray solution.

Since the production of Aqua Maris aerosol is based on its marine origin, its action is based on bringing the water-salt balance on the mucous membrane into a state of equilibrium. The concentration of salts in the solution draws out excess fluid from edematous tissues, and therefore such a wide range of its use in diseases of the nasopharynx.

Almost all inflammatory processes of viral or bacterial origin are accompanied by edema, which causes difficulty in nasal breathing and soreness in the pharynx and tonsils. The use of Aqua Marisa simultaneously moisturizes the mucous membrane and normalizes swelling. The same thing happens after operations on the nasopharynx, when the mucous membrane is inflamed and overdried. Aqua Maris creates at the local level a moisture that is comfortable for the mucous membranes, without the formation of edema.

Advantages and disadvantages of Aqua Maris

Aqua Maris is needed where there is a risk of overdrying of the mucous membranes with a lack of moisture in the air. For example, it is indispensable when working in dusty rooms and where, according to working conditions, the temperature is high. The video in this article shows how to moisten the mucous membranes with Aqua Maris when working in a dusty room.

The drug has undoubted advantages that distinguish it favorably from other products intended for moisturizing mucous membranes:

  1. The convenient shape of the spray bottle allows you to hold it with one hand, and the nozzles can be used both for irrigating the throat and moisturizing the nasal mucosa. A convenient long spout allows you to spray the spray without losing it to the surrounding area.
  2. The strong pressure of the jet allows you to successfully rinse the mucous throats and nose, freeing them from mucus and crusts.
  3. The tool is convenient for use by both adults and children, it refreshes and moisturizes the nasopharyngeal cavity.
  4. There are practically no allergic reactions to the components of the drug, since it does not contain flavors and essential oils.
  5. The moisturizing power of the spray greatly contributes to the normal physiological functioning of the mucosa.
  6. The tool is allowed to be used by young children from birth, nursing mothers and pregnant women.

Aqua Maris spray also has disadvantages:

  1. It makes no sense to use Aqua Maris as a vasoconstrictor, it does not have such qualities, so it will not work as a replacement for vasoconstrictors with nasal congestion.
  2. Since the consumption of the drug with its active use is high, the total cost of several cans will still seem burdensome to the budget for some.

Is there a future for Aqua Maris sprays, since there are no medicines in it in the usual sense? Maybe it’s easier to make a sea salt solution with your own hands and rinse your throat and nose with a traditional rinse?

It turns out that aquamaris in the throat in the form of spray cans is much more convenient to use just when the mucous membranes dry up, and there is no container for rinsing at hand, and you can always have a can with you.

Aqua Maris is popular precisely because it can be difficult to moisturize a dry throat without it if you are not at home. Aqua Maris is especially good because it has no contraindications, and in the form of drops it is prescribed even for newborns.

The drug effectively helps to resist infectious microorganisms, while maintaining local immunity. The processes of metabolism (emission of waste and intake of useful substances) in the cells are activated, restoring the normal process of functioning of the tissues of the throat.


  • patients with acute or chronic tonsillitis, pharyngitis, tonsillitis, laryngitis, adenoid inflammation;
  • patients with viral respiratory infections;
  • patients who experience dryness along the arch of the posterior pharyngeal wall under certain microclimate conditions (dry or dusty room, etc.);
  • during pregnancy (the drug acts locally on the mucous membranes and is not absorbed into the blood);
  • for the prevention of acute respiratory viral infections, acute respiratory infections and various infectious pathologies of the throat in healthy people.

The drug is available in three forms: for instillation into the nose, in the form of an aerosol and for gargling.

Aquamaris for the throat is applied according to the instructions from 4 to 6 times a day. It is necessary to irrigate the back surface (wall) of the pharynx, which is more susceptible to infection, with a spray.

Before using the aerosol, it is necessary to shake it several times, make a couple of clicks so that the sprayer is filled with a solution and is ready for use, put it in a horizontal position and make 3 or 4 injections. This is how irrigation is done for both adults and children.

The drug has a local effect, does not systemically affect the entire body and can be used in combination with other anti-inflammatory drugs for the throat. It is necessary for a better result to take a break between the use of other drugs or agents for at least 10-15 minutes.

With this method of application, negative interactions with other drugs have not been identified, therefore, it can be administered simultaneously with other drugs.

To achieve a stable therapeutic result, it is necessary to use the drug for a week. There is no addiction to aquamaris, and it can be used for a long time for medicinal purposes without side effects. The drug acts locally, only on the mucous membranes of the pharynx and its organs.

If necessary, the use of the drug can be carried out for a month without a break, after which a doctor's consultation is required. After a short break, the use of Aquamaris can also be repeated for a long period.

It is completely harmless to use the drug for pregnant women with colds or as a prophylactic during periods of outbreaks of infections. It does not have a systemic effect and is not absorbed into the blood. A universal natural remedy is completely harmless for use by expectant mothers.

The use of a spray can be combined with the use of nasal drops if the process is aggressive enough and does not allow full breathing. In this case, the number of nasal instillations and throat irrigations is prescribed by the attending physician.


The drug can be used by women during breastfeeding (due to local action and lack of absorption into the blood).

Aquamaris is prescribed for use by a child from one year old, however, in the form of a spray from three years old. For newborns, the drug is prescribed only in the form of nasal drops. By its action, the solution is very soft and safe for use by young children.

Why a child under three years of age should not use a spray: during the injection of aerosol therapeutic agents, it is necessary to hold your breath so that some substances do not get further into the respiratory tract or esophagus.

When using aquamaris, no side effect is observed when it comes into contact with other tissues or organs, as it is a natural drug and can be used at any age.

To do this, parents can independently irrigate the throat of babies up to three years old, catching the gap between inhalation and exhalation, then follow the child's breathing for some time. It is recommended to do this only if necessary and as prescribed by the pediatrician.

Aquamaris can be used for children as an independent drug for prophylactic purposes or for the initial symptoms of sore throat (redness of the mucous membranes, sore throat, mild cough). And in combination with other means, with the development of complicated inflammatory or purulent processes.

Also, when combined with physiological therapeutic procedures, you can use the drug. It is only necessary to take into account the fact that during warm-ups or procedures that increase the temperature of the throat, you need to wait a little for the pharynx to cool to its natural temperature and irrigate the throat.

During periods of epidemiological outbreaks, SARS can be used as a prophylactic for children of any age.

You can buy the drug in a pharmacy without a prescription, the price of Aquamaris is from 250 to 500 rubles, depending on the volume of the substance in the vial.

There are practically no contraindications for use due to the content of natural components and the mild perception of the body. Minor allergic reactions may occasionally occur in people with an increased allergic status. Sometimes there is intolerance to individual components of the drug.

Before using the drug at any age, it is recommended to consult your doctor or pediatrician.

For the treatment of sore throat with acute respiratory infections, you can use a practically harmless, but quite effective remedy for local treatment of the pharynx and pharynx - Aqua Maris. The drug is a solution with a high content of salts, due to which it exerts its antiseptic effect.

In fact, Aqua Maris for the throat is a specially purified sterile water of the Adriatic Sea. Due to the absolutely natural composition, Aqua Maris can be used even in the treatment of pregnant and lactating women, as well as children older than a year.

The drug is released in the form of drops and spray. Drops are used only for the treatment of diseases of the nose. Spray Aqua Maris is of two types - for the nose and for the throat (with a special nozzle). Aqua Maris throat spray is available in 30 ml bottles. In ENT practice, it is used not only for the treatment of acute infectious diseases, but also for their prevention.

Also, the drug is known as an excellent hygienic agent for treating the throat. This drug is very well tolerated, and causes allergic reactions in extremely rare cases.

Spray Aqua Maris can have a moderate antiseptic effect on pathogens, moisturize and cleanse the throat mucosa from excess mucus or pus, and relieve irritation.

For the treatment and prevention of tonsillitis, acute respiratory viral infections and influenza in children and adults, Elena Malysheva recommends the effective drug Immunity from Russian scientists. Due to its unique, and most importantly 100% natural composition, the drug is extremely effective in the treatment of sore throats, colds and strengthening immunity.

Regular use of the spray helps maintain the normal physiological properties of the mucous membrane of the pharynx and tonsils, pharynx, larynx.

This property of the drug helps to maintain the resistance (resistance) of the throat mucosa to viruses and bacteria and maintain the normal functioning of local immunity.

Who should use Aqua Maris:

  • Patients with acute or chronic tonsillitis,
  • Patients with angina
  • Persons suffering from acute or chronic inflammation of the throat (pharyngitis),
  • Patients with laryngitis (inflammation of the larynx and vocal apparatus),
  • Any of the respiratory viral infections,
  • Healthy people for the prevention of acute respiratory viral infections and other infections of the pharynx,
  • Persons suffering from constant drying and irritation of the mucous membrane of the posterior pharyngeal wall due to dust impurities in the air, air drying by air conditioning or heating systems, etc.

It is very easy to use the drug. To do this, at the first use, you need to make one or two “idle” clicks on the sprayer to fill it with a solution, after which the spray will be ready for use. In adults and children, it is used in the same dosage and with the same frequency.

To treat the throat, you need to hold the spray bottle horizontally and make 3 or 4 clicks on the sprayer, directing the solution to the back of the throat. The instruction to the preparation recommends carrying out such treatment from 4 to 6 times a day.

To achieve a therapeutic effect, Aqua Maris is usually used for at least a week. The drug is not addictive, so it can be used for a very long time.

In practice, the duration of the drug is not limited. The drug acts only locally, affects only the mucous membrane of the pharynx and nearby organs.

It does not have any systemic effects, and also does not interact with other drugs, therefore it can be safely used with any drugs for the treatment of the throat.

The drug is very convenient to use, you can carry the bottle with you and carry out the treatment of the pharynx anywhere and at any time. However, the solution does not last long, and the price “bites” somewhat.

The closest to this drug in composition and mode of action is a rinse solution, known as "sea water", for more details in the article:

mouthwash solution

If you are wondering what other drugs in the form of a spray can treat the throat, then it will be useful to read the article: sore throat sprays.

The instruction advises the use of Aqua Maris in children older than three years. But at the same time, the drug, due to its safety and softness of action, is suitable for the treatment of children from 12 months, therefore pediatricians prescribe it already at the age of 1-2 years.

There is no contradiction here. The fact is that the drug, as you already know, is produced in the form of a spray, and the spray can only be used from the age of three.

This is due to the fact that during the treatment of the pharynx with a spray, it is advisable to hold your breath, because many of the components that make up other sprays and aerosols cannot be inhaled. Children under three years of age usually cannot do this.

But on the other hand, there is nothing terrible for a child in accidentally inhaling Aqua Maris. Therefore, its use is allowed in 1-2-year-old children under the control of respiratory function. This means that the parent, when treating the baby’s neck, must catch the moment between inhalation and exhalation in order to spray, and after some time make sure that the child does not have any problems with the respiratory system.

Of course, young children can treat the throat with this drug only on the direct instructions of a doctor.

It should also be said that one should not hope to cure angina, bacterial pharyngitis (with mucopurulent discharge from the pharynx), pharyngomycosis (fungal infection of the pharynx) and other serious infections with Aqua Maris.

These diseases require an integrated approach to treatment and the appointment of specific drugs - antibiotics, antifungal agents. However, in such diseases, Aqua Maris can be an excellent addition to treatment as a preparation for the local treatment of the pharynx and pharynx.

Do you still think that getting rid of constant colds, FLU and THROAT DISEASES is impossible!?

Judging by the fact that you are reading this article, you know firsthand what is:

  • severe sore throat even when swallowing saliva...
  • constant feeling of lump in throat...
  • chills and weakness in the body ...
  • “breaking” of bones at the slightest movement ...
  • complete loss of appetite and strength ...
  • constant stuffiness in the nose, and expectoration of snot ...

Now answer the question: does it suit you? Can ALL THESE SYMPTOMS be tolerated? And how much time have you already “leaked” for ineffective treatment? After all, sooner or later the SITUATION WILL AGAIN. And things can end badly...

The Aquamaris group of medicines for washing the nose and throat was developed by Croatian pharmacists and gained immense popularity all over the world due to its high efficiency and the almost complete absence of contraindications. Drops and spray Aquamaris, the use of which as a prophylactic agent helps prevent inflammation in the nasopharynx and reduces the likelihood of allergic rhinitis by increasing immunity, are also widely used as a therapeutic agent - both in isolation and in combination with other drugs.

The main secret of the successful use of Aquamaris for washing the nose

Seasonal and professional allergic rhinitis, acute rhinitis of viral or infectious etiology, complications of chronic rhinitis - sinusitis or other sinusitis, pharyngitis and laryngitis, as well as other inflammatory processes that develop in the respiratory organs, Aquamaris for the nose and throat successfully cures primarily due to its unique basis: natural water of the Adriatic Sea.

Before continuing reading: If you are looking for an effective way to get rid of constant colds and diseases of the nose, throat, lungs, then be sure to look into section of the site "Book" after reading this article. This information is based on the personal experience of the author and has helped many people, we hope it will help you too. NOT advertising! So, now back to the article.

Sea water contains a huge amount of chemical elements in a proportion that provides a combination of their effect on the protective mechanisms of the immune system with bactericidal properties. Aquamaris containing natural purified sea water with 0.9% sodium chloride is an isotonic solution. If the percentage of sodium chloride (NaCL) in the solution is artificially increased, it is called hypertonic.

Isotonic and hypertonic Aquamaris act differently and are prescribed according to age, diagnosis and symptoms of the disease.

Dosage forms

Aquamaris for infants, is available as an isotonic solution of pure sea water in drops, and for the treatment of children over one year old, children's isotonic spray Aquamaris can be used (in babies up to this age, even the most gentle spray irrigation can lead to mucosal injuries). The number of drops in the nose and the frequency of instillation depends on the age of the child.

Aquamaris baby spray also contains only pure sea water without impurities (exception - Aquamaris plus) and is packaged in bottles with special dispensers, which facilitates ease of use.

Aquamaris plus (spray with d-panthenol) - gentle care for the nasal mucosa


Aquamaris in the form of a nasal spray may additionally contain dexpanthenol: this form of the drug is called Aquamaris plus and is usually prescribed for increased dryness of the nasal mucosa or if a runny nose is accompanied by increased crusting in the nose. Dexapanthenol actively promotes moistening of the mucous membrane and normalization of the function of the ciliary epithelium.

Aquamaris strong - get rid of sinusitis

Aquamaris strong contains hypertonic sea salt solution. This dosage form can only be used for older children and adults. It should be noted that hypertonic solution, due to the high content of sodium chloride, causes a temporary, quickly transient feeling of discomfort in the nasopharynx. The main indications for the use of Aquamaris Strong are complications of rhinitis - sinusitis or other sinusitis, accompanied by the formation of purulent plugs in the accessory cavities of the nose.

The effectiveness of this variety of Aquamaris for washing purulent plugs in sinusitis is explained simply: according to the laws of osmosis, NaCL actively enters the mucus clots, as a result of which they liquefy and are easily removed from the maxillary (or other) sinuses.

Aquamaris home - your personal physiotherapist

For the best for washing the nose and freeing it from mucus, it is useful to buy Aquamaris at home - this is the name of a special device in the form of a small teapot.

The design of Aquamaris home allows you to rinse the nose without the risk of water entering the Eustachian passages that connect the sinuses with the ear.

Aquamaris throat spray is an effective remedy in the treatment of catarrhal symptoms

Aquamaris throat spray in a bottle with a special dispenser that provides convenient spraying of the medicine in the oral cavity is a hypertonic solution of pure sea water.

Aquamaris for the throat is used for pharyngitis, exacerbation of chronic tonsillitis and other diseases of the nasopharynx, accompanied by severe catarrhal phenomena. Like Aquamaris for the nose, you can use the throat version of the preparation from one year. In addition to irrigation, in the treatment of the throat, you can use the drug for washing purulent plugs (angina, tonsillitis).

Given the variety of dosage forms in the Aquamaris series of drugs, the price in the catalog or price list must necessarily be accompanied by an indication of the specific type of medicine. The price of Aquamaris at home (a device for washing the nose) usually includes the cost of the drug with which the device is sold.

Indications for use

The use of Aquamaris nasal drops and spray depends on the diagnosis and age of the patient.

Aquamaris for children in drops is indicated for daily care of the nasal cavity of a child from the first days of life. The unique composition of the drug helps to increase immunity to viral and bacterial infections and reduces the likelihood of allergic rhinitis. The drug is available in two forms: starting from the age of two, drops can be replaced with a spray. It is more convenient to use: a special dispenser facilitates the flow of medicine deep into the sinuses without the risk of getting into the Eustachian meatus.

Pediatricians, pediatric ENT doctors and allergists are strongly advised to buy Aquamaris for children if the child is prone to frequent colds. The price of the drug is quite low, and its use for prophylactic purposes allows you to restore the protective functions of the epithelium of the nasal mucosa and avoid the appearance of chronic rhinitis, as well as its complications, such as sinusitis (frontal sinusitis, sinusitis, etc.), etc., appearing in a later age.

In addition to prevention, Aquamaris for children is indicated as a drug (monotherapy or use in combination with other drugs) for acute respiratory viral infections of any etiology, as well as for other inflammatory processes in the nasopharynx. In the treatment of a runny nose, accompanied by copious secretions of mucus, starting from the age of four, it is better to use the drug in the form of a solution for washing the nose. For these purposes, it is necessary to purchase Aquamaris at home - a special teapot-horn that provides a gentle, safe flow of the solution into the child's nose. It should be added that both children and adults can use the device.

What to choose among different forms of medicine?

In adolescence and adulthood, the passages between the maxillary sinuses and the nasal cavity narrow. Therefore, when mucous secretions penetrate into the paranasal sinuses due to a runny nose, sinusitis, frontal sinusitis and other severe complications often develop, the cause of which is the appearance of dense purulent plugs in the nasal passages. These plugs prevent the entry of medicinal solutions into the infected cavities and the release of newly formed pus from them. As a result, sinusitis or other sinusitis can lead to inflammation of the meninges and the brain tissue itself, with all the ensuing consequences.

For the treatment of such conditions, Aquamaris strong is best suited - a hypertonic solution of Aquamaris (spray), the price of which is slightly higher than the price of an isotonic solution. The increased content of edible salt in this form of the drug ensures the penetration of liquid through the plugs, the dissolution of dense mucus and the possibility of clearing the nasal passages from it. With advanced sinusitis, this dosage form is indicated for use as part of complex treatment with antibacterial and anti-inflammatory drugs.

If a runny nose in an adult or teenager is not accompanied by purulent abdominal processes, instead of the “strong” form, it is quite possible to choose a softer version of the spray for topical application.

Safety of Aquamaris during pregnancy

The isotonic solution of Aquamaris in the form of drops and spray is recommended for pregnant women during a cold, exacerbation of a chronic rhinitis or with manifestations of allergic rhinitis.

As for sinusitis and other sinusitis, in this case, Aquamaris during pregnancy is one of the safest remedies, often allowing the treatment of these serious diseases to be reduced to local therapy. The soft and effective action of the Aquamaris solution has become the reason for its immense popularity.

Aquamaris during pregnancy is best used in the form of a milder isotonic solution, however, if necessary, you can use the "Strong" option or the hypertonic "For the throat" option.

Contraindications

Aquamaris, which does not contain additives, is absolutely safe and has no contraindications for use, including during pregnancy. You should follow the doctor's recommendations and instructions in the medication instructions and do not use the spray (use may cause mucosal injury or other complications) to treat children under one year old.

You can not use the drug Aquamaris plus with individual intolerance to the substance d-panthenol. Side effects (usually complications in the form of eustachitis) are possible only in case of improper use of the drug. To prevent this from happening, it is necessary to follow the rules for instillation in young children, and if deep rinsing of the nose is necessary for an older child, use a special device that prevents the solution from entering the Eustachian canal - Aquamaris home.

Price, expiration date and conditions of purchase

Due to the practical absence of contraindications, you can buy Aquamaris without a doctor's prescription. The cost of drops and spray is affordable for the budget of any Russian family. The price range ranges from 100 to 400 rubles. Unique production technologies allow the drug to be stored at room temperature for a long time - 3 years from the date of manufacture.
