SNOTTY CONTAINERS are indicated for relieving nasal swelling and rhinorrhea in acute rhinosinusitis, acute nasopharyngitis and other diseases of the nose and sinuses. They can be used alone or in combination with other nasal products.

to thin nasal secretions and facilitate their removal;
as an additional treatment for infectious and allergic diseases of the nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses and nasopharynx;
as an additional treatment for the management and prevention of acute otitis media.

How do SNOTTY CONTAINERS work?

SNOTTY reduces swelling through an osmotic effect, accelerates mucociliary clearance (MCC) and thins mucus, thereby providing physiological control of the symptoms of rhinitis.

SNOTTY has no limitations on the frequency or duration of use. It can be used to reduce swelling and cleanse the nose as often and for as long as needed, without the risk of dependence, rebound congestion or systemic side effects.

Xylitol also reduces the adhesion of microorganisms to mucosal cells and helps prevent biofilm formation.

Seawater from one of the cleanest regions of France – Brittany, Cancale-Sud – contains natural minerals and trace elements.

The sterile, single-dose container format allows SNOTTY to be used for gentle nasal care even in the youngest children.

SNOTTY CONTAINERS can be used in children from birth and adults.
