Luuf nasal spray 15 ml

Goodbye to colds!
LUUF® Naphazoline compositum nasal spray consists of a mucous membrane decongestant solution with the active ingredient naphazoline, which quickly reduces excessive secretion formation and relieves the annoying signs (symptoms) of a runny nose.
Diphenhydramine has an anti-irritant, local anesthetic and anti-allergic effect on the mucous membrane. The unpleasant sensation of sneezing is inhibited and nasal breathing becomes free again. The swelling of the mucous membrane also facilitates the drainage of secretions from the sinuses, thereby promoting the healing of inflammation.
