Breathe Again is hypertonic seawater, and as such, it causes an osmotic effect in the nasal cavities, providing congestion relief. The isotonic seawater, by definition, cannot do that. The efficacy of hypertonic seawater has been proven in numerous clinical trials and in most common conditions of the nose.

If the product is used correctly, alleviation of symptoms will be commonly experienced within the first few uses.

There is no limitation to the length of Breathe Again usage. In acute cases, Breathe Again use will end when the cause of congestion ceases to exist. In chronic cases, it will be used for the length of the problem. Frequently, people keep using Breathe Again as a daily routine even after their original problem disappears.

No, Breathe Again can be used more frequently than directed. The directions for use on the packaging are only an indication. In practice, if more frequent use is required at the beginning, then it is absolutely safe to do so.

The Breathe Again spray nozzle can be removed for cleaning between uses – using warm water and mild soap. The spray nozzle can be easily reattached to the can by clicking it back into place.

In order to avoid the “rebound effect” (i.e., the worsening of the symptoms) from the abrupt stop of nasal decongestants, it is recommended that dosing be gradually reduced over a 3–day period, until completely stopped. Breathe Again may be used during this period, or immediately after.

The feeling of pressure is very subjective. People who are not used to nasal washouts may require a little more time to get accustomed to this practice. The pressure inside Breathe Again has been studied in order to ensure that the solution reaches the sinuses without discomfort.

The feeling of pressure is also related to the quantity released during each use. Users consistently identify after a couple of uses the ideal quantity to be sprayed, which produces a beneficial effect without a feeling of pressure.

Yes. Because Breathe Again is 100% natural and contains no preservatives, it can be used even during the first month of pregnancy. However, if you have any questions, please consult your physician or pharmacist.

No, Breathe Again is not contra-indicated with any known topical or systemic treatment. On the contrary, and especially for topical antihistamines and corticosteroids, Breathe Again may work synergistically, as it clears and cleans the nose, thus helping the absorption of the drug. Furthermore, for patients that cannot be prescribed either topical or oral decongestants, Breathe Again is an excellent alternative.

People with hypersensitivity to sea water may experience transient irritation or burning during the first 3 - 4 days of use. There are no reported side effects with the use of Breathe Again as directed.

No, this is a myth. Although Breathe Again contains a lot of salt, when it comes in contact with the nasal mucosa, it draws water from the inflamed tissue. This process continues until the salt concentrations on the two sides of the mucosa equilibrate. At that time, the concentration has become isotonic at both sides and, therefore, does not constitute a cause for dryness.

There are rare reports of nose bleeding when one starts using Breathe Again. However, none of these reports has been causally connected to the use of Breathe Again. Nose bleeding is a common side effect of nasal decongestants and may appear if the switch of nasal decongestants is not done as directed. It may also result from injury or mechanical cause.

Yes, it can be used. Breathe Again is frequently recommended by specialists as a pre-treatment to steroid therapy, as Breathe Again normalizes the state of nasal mucosa and facilitates the action of steroids. Specialists are the most appropriate group to advise the patients on how to combine the two treatments.
