Fitonasal Pediatric

Fitonasal Pediatric is a product that decongests, protects the nasal mucosa and clears the nose from excess mucus and the pathogens, irritants and allergens trapped within it.

INDICATIONS
Fitonasal Pediatric is a nasal spray indicated for the prevention and treatment of both acute and chronic congestion and irritation of the nasal cavities caused by flu syndromes, colds, allergic rhinitis and sinusitis. Using this product thus promotes breathing and aids nocturnal sleep in young children.
Fitonasal Pediatric can also be used as an adjuvant treatment for coughs and sore throats caused by post-nasal drip and otitis media resulting from nasal congestion. The product is suitable from 6 months of age.

HOW IT WORKS
Fitonasal Pediatric performs a physiological cleansing, decongestant and protective action as a result of the following mechanisms of action:

• Balanced osmotic
  Helps draw back water from congested tissues without causing irritation and dryness, through its balanced and standardised osmolality (600 mOsm/Kg).
• Local astringent
  It interacts aspecifically with certain inflammatory proteins found in the nasal fluid and enables their removal.
• Barrier
  It forms a film on the mucosa and protects it from contact with irritants, helping to maintain the integrity of the epithelial barrier.
• Antioxidant
  Reduces free radicals generated by inflammation of the mucosa.
• Deep cleansing
  Facilitates the removal of excess mucus and the pathogens, allergens and other substances trapped within it thanks to the continuous-flow nebulizer.

The action of deep cleansing of the nasal cavities is particularly helpful for infants, who are unable to blow their noses, and for children who do so inadequately.

PACKAGING
Fitonasal Pediatric comes in a container featuring a spray dispenser with 'bag on valve' (BOV) technology, which contributes to the effectiveness of the product and offers multiple benefits:

• Easy to use - BOV technology enables a continuous flow of spray in all positions;
• Ergonomic - the spray nozzle has been designed to be gentle even on the smallest noses;
• Quality - the product is contained inside a bag that is isolated from the external environment, which allows product out, but does not allow air, liquids or other residues back in;
• Environmentally friendly - contains propellant gas (Nitrogen) that respects the Ozone layer.

Use at least twice a day, morning and evening, and as often as deemed necessary. For effective action, use Fitonasal Pediatric as follows:
 

1. From 6 months to one year of age

• Lay your child down on one side, put the nozzle into the nostril that is now in the higher position and spray the product.
• Turn your child onto their other side and repeat in the other nostril.
   

 

2. From 1 year of age

• Put the nozzle into the nostril and apply gentle pressure for a few seconds.
• Clean the nose or, if possible, blow it before spraying the product into the other nostril.
   

After each use, clean the nozzle with a clean, damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Fitonasal Pediatric can be used frequently and for prolonged periods because it does not contain vasoconstrictive decongestants, is not habit-forming, and does not irritate or dry out the mucosa.
If Fitonasal Pediatric is used in combination with nasally applied medications, it is recommended that the two products be administered at least 1 hour apart.

1 ml of product contains: Tannisal^® complex 6.8 mg, composed of Tannins (LPME extractive fraction of Witch Hazel - 0.2 mg) and Minerals (chemically untreated mined rock salt - 6.6 mg); Water; Vegetable glycerine; Lemon juice; Nahcolite (natural sodium bicarbonate).

The extractive fraction contained in the product is obtained through a technological process called LPME (Liquid- Phase Microextraction), developed by Aboca research.

Do not use in case of individual hypersensitivity or allergy to one or more components. Use nasally only. Avoid contact with the eyes, wash with water if necessary. If symptoms persist, however, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
