How it works
Nasofine Nasal Cream is a combination of two medicines: Chlorhexidine Gluconate and Neomycin. Chlorhexidine Gluconate is an antiseptic and disinfectant which works by binding strongly with skin. It kills infectious microorganisms and effectively cleans out cuts, wounds, and burns to prevent them from getting infected. Neomycin is an antibiotic which kills bacteria by preventing the synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions.
Quick Tips
Nasofine Nasal Cream is prescribed for the treatment of infections in the nose. Use 2-3 times a day to treat the infection. Treatment is usually for 10 days. However, it is better to follow your doctor's advice. Do not use Nasofine Nasal Cream immediately after washing your face. If it is mixed with certain soaps or gets diluted with water, its effectiveness may reduce. If you have hearing problems, it is important that you speak to your doctor before using Nasofine Nasal Cream as it could make your hearing worse. This medicine is only to be used inside your nose. Do not use it in your eyes or ears.
