List of cheap analogues of the drug

Sometimes a situation arises when you need to find cheap analogues of Aqualor. These include drugs similar in composition and purpose:
from products of natural origin based on sterile sea or ocean water:

• Aqua Maris;
• Quicks;
• Morenasal;
• Otrivin Sea;

from means of artificial production:

• Salin (aqueous solution of sodium chloride salt).

What is the best drug?

Aqua Maris or Aqualor?

To decide which is better: Aqua Maris or Aqualor, you need to know their main differences.

1. These sprays differ in the origin of the solution. Aqua Maris is created from the sterile water of the Adriatic Sea, and Aqualor is from the water of the Atlantic. Both are completely natural, do not contain preservatives and dyes. It is a clear liquid, odorless and impurities, with a slightly salty taste. Both solutions are isotonic, with a salt content of 9 g/l.
2. The palette of Aqua Maris preparations is slightly wider than that of Aqualor. It includes additional products developed for the treatment of sinusitis (Aqua Maris Plus and Sens), as well as a special solution for cleaning the ear canals from sulfur (Aqua Maris Oto).
3. Aqua Maris has a shorter shelf life: 2 years, compared to 3 years for Aqualor. After opening the vials, both solutions should be used no later than 45 days.

In general, these medicines are interchangeable and close in price.

Quicks or Aqualor?

The differences between these drugs are small:

1. Drops (spray) Quicks are not approved for use in newborns, only from three months. A wide palette of Aqualor nasal products makes it possible to choose the right product for any age.
2. A special filter with antibacterial action allows you to use the Quicks solution within six months after opening the package.
3. Due to the fact that Quicks is a hypertonic saline solution with an optimal solution concentration of 2.6%, it has an active anti-edematous effect on the mucous membrane and is successfully used by doctors to treat allergic rhinitis.

When choosing which drug is better: Quicks or Aqualor, it is worth noting the higher price of the first.

Dolphin or Aqualor?

Let's compare which is better: Dolphin or Aqualor.

1. Dolphin is a complex for washing the nasopharynx from a mixture of sea salt with herbs: licorice and rosehip. Such a composition expands the scope of the remedy, for example, Dolphin is prescribed for polyps in the nose. But the addition of medicinal herbs to the solution gives the risk of allergic reactions to the medicine, which Aqualor does not have.
2. Clinical studies have revealed the greater effectiveness of the Dolphin complex for washing the nasopharynx with sinusitis, compared with other similar agents. But the washing procedure is easier with Aqualor.
3. Dolphin is allowed to be taken by children over 4 years old, it does not apply to babies. The contraindications of the remedy also include complete nasal congestion and the already indicated allergy to herbs in the composition.

It should be noted the advantage of Dolphin for the treatment of purulent rhinitis and sinusitis, but its limitations for use in children and people prone to allergic manifestations.

Terms and conditions of storage

According to the instructions for use, Aqualor is stored in a dry place, closed from small children and away from direct sunlight. The storage temperature of the solutions is room temperature, the range is from 5 to 25 degrees Celsius. In such conditions, the shelf life of the solution is 3 years.

Storage after opening

Instructions for use Aqualor after opening allows you to use the solution for only 45 days. After that, the medicine must be disposed of.

Conclusion

Thanks to its unique natural formula, Aqualor Nose and Throat, in a variety of forms, is highly effective, affordable and easy to use.

It has practically no contraindications, the medicinal series is safe for pregnant and lactating women and newborn children.

In accordance with the instructions for use of Aqualor, solutions are used for individual care of the nasopharynx and as a medicine for inflammation of the throat and nose.
