Dry nasal membranes, such as those caused by colds and allergy drugs, are treated with sodium chloride nasal wash. It moistens dry nasal passages caused by arid climates or airplane travel, may aid in the dissolution of mucus in study noses, and helps to clean the nose after surgery. This sterile saline solution is also used to clean various bodily parts (wounds, body cavities), as well as medical equipment (e.g. bandages, catheters, drainage tubes). It's also utilized as a diluent (mixed solution) for other body-irrigating drugs (e.g. bacitracin, polymyxin).
Nasal wash with sodium chloride is a non-drug, isotonic saline solution used to moisturize nasal membranes. This formulation is comfortable to use for long periods of time. Sodium Chloride 0.9 percent nasal wash moistens the inside of the nose by dissolving and softening thick or crusty mucus, making it simpler to clear mucus and breathe. The kidneys eliminate the majority of excess sodium, with tiny quantities lost in feces and sweat.
