Nasodine®

Nasodine® is a spray that you can buy without a prescription. It helps guard against infections caused by germs, such as bacteria and viruses. It includes a broad antiseptic called Povidone-Iodine (abbreviated as PVP-I) that has been utilized in healthcare facilities and surgical wards for many years. Each breath we take may contain harmful germs and allergens that can potentially cause infections or illnesses in our bodies. Nasodine® works by neutralizing these dangers before they dig into the nasal linings or reach our lungs and begin multiplying. Research conducted in labs has demonstrated that even the lower concentration of PVP-I in Nasodine® (0.5%) is effective in eliminating powerful viruses such as SaRS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for the COVID-19 outbreak, within a mere 15 seconds. When iodine is sprayed into the nose using Nasodine® it acts swiftly to break down the proteins and cell structures of microbes present there. This process involves coating the nasal lining with iodine to deactivate viruses and bacteria upon contact. How to use it: Check the guidance in the leaflet that comes with the product for directions to follow. Typically people spray a couple of times daily for protection, and increase this amount if they anticipate being in a higher risk setting, by adding an extra spray before going in and after coming out. The typical protocol is: Make sure to blow your nose before using it to get rid of any mucus. Keep your head straight and gently place the nozzle of the spray into one nostril while keeping the other closed. Remember to press the spray pump as you breathe in to make sure the spray covers all areas of your nasal passages. Squirt the spray three times into one nostril then take a deep breath in through your nose. Please do the same for the other nostril. Storage Please keep the Nasodine® in its packaging until you are ready to use it and store it at room temperature (below 86°F / 30°C) once opened. Frequently Asked Questions About Nasodine®

Is Nasodine® a solution for COVID-19 or the flu?

It doesn't actually cure or treat those illnesses; however it might lower the virus levels in the nose if taken right at the start of exposure to it. It focuses more on prevention and maintaining hygiene rather than providing a cure.

How frequently should I use Nasodine® in my routine?

Its generally considered safe to use this product up to four time (12 squirts) each day in the short term (around 2 days to 2 weeks) What differentiates Nasodine® from Enovid/NOWONDER™ nasal sprays? Both Nasodine® and NOWONDER™ are nasal sprays designed to eliminate bacteria and viruses that may lead to respiratory infections. Nasodine® dispenses iodine as an antiseptic in each spray to sanitize the nasal passages and protect the linings from inhaling viruses by swiftly eradicating them before reaching the lungs. Enovid/NOWONDER™ uses a patented method of delivering nitric oxide (NO) by producing a small volume of NO with every spray for an instant effect. NO can eliminate viruses like the one for causing COVID‐19 in the upper respiratory tract by preventing their incubation and transmission to the lungs. Research has demonstrated that it significantly diminishes the presence in individuals with COVID‐19 by, over 95%.

Is Nasodine® OK for use in children?

This product is recommended for kids aged 6 and older with adult supervision. Isn't recommended for younger children unless a doctor approves it.

Is it okay to use Nasodine® along with another nasal spray ?

As of now we don't have data to make a definite conclusion; however the current evidence suggests that various types of sprays are generally compatible to a reasonable extent with each other. NOWONDER™ nasal sprays contain an active ingredient (nitric oxide in small amounts) and there is currently no evidence of any interactions with other medications or sprays using different compounds. It is advisable to space out the administration of sprays by at least an hour and adhere to the recommended maximum doses for each spray. If you have any concerns or queries regarding this matter please seek advice, from a pharmacist or healthcare professional.
