RhinoBlock Hay fever nasal ointment
Instructions for use
Product description
RhinoBlock is an easy-to-apply nasal ointment based on pure, white vaseline and pure honey. RhinoBlock hay fever nasal ointment creates a protective layer in the nose against grass and tree pollen, house-dust mites and other irritants. This protective layer relieves the allergic symptoms caused by pollen and house-dust mites.
Ingredients
- Petrolatum
- Pure Honey
Indications
RhinoBlock can be used to relieve allergic symptoms caused by pollen and house-dust mites.
Instructions for use
Apply RhinoBlock in both nostrils, 2 - 4 times a day or more frequently, as required. Apply with a cotton bud or similar. Then spread the nasal ointment inside your nose by lightly massaging the outside of your nostrils. To protect against airborne pollen, apply RhinoBlock before going outdoors for a long period of time (e.g. to exercise, walk, cycle or garden). For protection against house-dust mites, apply RhinoBlock nasal ointment at least once before going to bed.

There are no indications that RhinoBlock cannot be used during pregnancy and breast feeding.
