Saline Nasal Rinse
Your NeilMed Saline and Pulmicort Nebules Rinse
A saline nasal rinse is a hygienic procedure and can be used several times per day.
Your doctor may recommend the addition of anti-inflammatory steroids to be added to the rinse in the form of Nebules. Which should be used as directed by the doctor.
Do not share bottles.
Always use new water and new salt for every rinsing session, and let the bottle fully dry between uses.
Bottles can be sanitized every few days with a warm mild soapy solution, or microwaved for 2 minutes with a small amount of water inside.
It is recommended to replace your bottles every 3 months.
