Polyethylene glycol-propylene glycol nasal

Name: Polyethylene glycol-propylene glycol nasal

Uses

This product is used to treat dryness and irritation inside the nose (nasal passages) caused by dry room air, medications, allergies, colds, or other conditions. This product helps add moisture inside the nose to dissolve and soften thick or crusty mucus, making it easier to remove the mucus. This helps to prevent nosebleeds, relieve a stuffy nose, and make breathing easier.

This product contains moisturizers in a gentle purified salt solution (also called saline or sodium chloride solution). It does not contain any medication.
