Antiseptic SinoFresh™ Nasal Spray

Fact Sheet for Pharmacists

• Inhaled molds trigger allergic and non-allergic inflammation in the nose and sinuses while trapped in the mucous layer.
  
  
• Pathogenic bacteria colonize the nasal cavity and can cause sinusitis in the presence of enough underlying inflammation.
  
  
• Antiseptic SinoFresh™ Nasal Spray is the only product available that attacks the cause of non-allergic and mold sensitive chronic nasal and sinus symptoms.
  
  
• Antiseptic SinoFresh™ Nasal Spray contains cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC), the same active ingredient in Scope® and Cepacol® mouthwash. CPC has been proven safe for over 40 years.

1. Candida albicans
2. Aspergillus niger
3. Cladosporium herbarum
