How to take it

Empty the contents of one sachet into your NeilMed squeeze bottle filled with 240ml (8 fl oz) of distilled, previously boiled and cooled, or sterile/labelled 'microfilter' water at a lukewarm, body-temperature. Screw the cap on securely. Lean over a sink, tilt your head forward and to one side, keep your mouth open, and gently squeeze the bottle to irrigate one nostril, allowing the solution to drain out of the other nostril or your mouth. Repeat on the other side. Rinse the bottle with clean water after each use and leave to air dry. Can be used daily as needed; many people find it helpful to rinse around an hour before bedtime to reduce residual drainage while lying down. Suitable for adults and children who can safely stand at a sink and follow instructions, with direct adult supervision for children. Always read the full instructions leaflet before first use.

Warnings

Only ever use distilled, sterile, previously boiled and cooled, or specifically labelled 'microfilter' water, never use untreated tap water for nasal irrigation. Keep out of reach of children and only use with children under close adult supervision. Not recommended for anyone with physical or mental limitations that prevent them from safely following the rinse process independently. Discontinue use and consult a pharmacist or GP if you experience nosebleeds, ear pain or discomfort, or if symptoms worsen or do not improve. This is not a substitute for medical treatment of underlying sinus or nasal conditions. Clean the bottle thoroughly after each use and replace it periodically to avoid contamination. Always read the instructions/leaflet before use. If in doubt, consult your pharmacist or GP.

Side effects

Generally well tolerated. Possible mild, transient nasal/sinus irritation or stinging, occasional mild burning sensation, and rarely nosebleeds or ear pressure/discomfort if used incorrectly.

Age restrictions

Labelled for adults and children aged 4 and over; children under 4 should only use it on a doctor's advice (NeilMed sells a separate Pediatric Sinus Rinse for ages 2+).

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

NeilMed states its Sinus Rinse products are suitable for use during pregnancy; as a drug-free saline solution with no systemic absorption, it is generally considered safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Alcohol

Not applicable - a topical saline rinse acting locally in the nose, not absorbed systemically, so there is no known interaction with alcohol.

Driving and machinery

The rinse works entirely within the nasal passages and is not systemically absorbed, so it has no sedating effect and does not impair driving or machinery use.

Storage

Store sachets in original packaging between 15-30C, out of direct sunlight and out of the sight and reach of children. The mixed solution is for single use only - prepare fresh before each rinse and discard any leftover; rinse and air-dry the bottle after each use.

If anything here is unclear, or you are not sure this is the right choice, speak to our pharmacist before you buy.

What is actually in each sachet?

Each premixed sachet contains a pH-balanced blend of USP-grade sodium chloride and sodium bicarbonate. The formula is preservative-free, drug-free, iodine-free, BPA-free, gluten-free and latex-free.

What water should I use to mix it?

Use distilled water, water that has been boiled and then cooled to a lukewarm temperature, sterile water, or water specifically labelled as suitable for nasal irrigation (e.g. microfiltered). Do not use untreated tap water straight from the tap.

How often can I use the sinus rinse?

It can generally be used daily as part of a nasal hygiene routine, for example to relieve congestion from a cold, hay fever, or sinus pressure. If you plan to use it long-term, it's a good idea to check with your pharmacist or GP, especially if you have an ongoing nasal or sinus condition.

Can children use this kit?

Older children who can stand safely at a sink and follow the steps can use it with an adult supervising closely. For younger children, NeilMed also offers a dedicated paediatric version designed for smaller noses, check the age guidance before use.

Will this help with hay fever or a blocked nose from a cold?

Many people use saline nasal irrigation like this to help relieve congestion and pressure caused by colds, sinusitis, and allergies such as hay fever, by helping to flush mucus and irritants from the nasal passages. It complements, but doesn't replace, other treatments your pharmacist or GP may recommend.
