Benzalkonium Chloride-Free, Sterile Natural Seawater Ingredients
Safe for Use in Infants and Young Children
[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Gwan-joo] As the number of patients suffering from nasal congestion and rhinitis increases due to the dry environment caused by seasonal changes and mask-wearing, the demand for 'nasal sprays' is also rising. In particular, since the nasal mucosa is the initial site where viruses causing respiratory diseases are inhaled, maintaining a moist and healthy nasal environment is a very important part of health management.
Yuhan Corporation's 'Maplus Nasal Spray,' imported and sold from Germany, is a representative product that helps maintain a healthy nose. Maplus Nasal Spray is a nasal spray product that can perform everything from cleansing to moisturizing for nasal congestion, rhinitis, and inflammation of the nasal mucosa. It contains sterile natural seawater from Iceland, allowing for a refreshing and convenient nasal rinse. The added dexpanthenol, a precursor of vitamin B5, moisturizes the epithelial cells of the nasal mucosa.
Maplus Nasal Spray does not contain preservatives, making it safe for use in children. Recently, the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety issued a change order regarding the approval of drugs containing benzalkonium chloride under the Pharmaceutical Affairs Act. Since Maplus Nasal Spray does not contain such preservatives, it can be used from infants to young children, making it a good option for children's nasal discharge, nasal crusts, nasal congestion, and inflammation of the nasal mucosa. It is also notable that the product is imported from the German pharmaceutical company STADA GmbH, which has a 135-year history, and applies the German patented 3K sterilization system in its manufacturing process. Another advantage is that it can be sprayed multiple times as needed from infants to adults.
Maplus Nasal Spray, mainly used to remove children's nasal secretions, is not only convenient for removing hardened nasal crusts but also helps relieve discomfort inside children's noses by moisturizing the nasal cavity with an additional spray after removal. This differentiates it from sprays that only perform nasal cleansing.
Maplus Nasal Spray is an over-the-counter drug with a 20ml capacity and can be easily purchased at nearby pharmacies. The usage method is to spray 1 to 2 times per nostril for infants, children, and adults, and multiple sprays can be applied as needed. A Yuhan Corporation official stated, “Maplus is a steady seller product that has been recognized and loved in domestic pharmacies for nearly 20 years,” adding, “We will continue to provide high-quality nasal spray medicines that are safe for children and the whole family to use.”
