Mucin is a physiological component of human secretions. However, its excessive production during respiratory infections makes the mucus too sticky to expel, causing sinus obstruction.
It is a product recommended for people suffering from mucus hypersecretion caused by the common cold or rhinitis, which can lead to acute or chronic allergic rhinosinusitis.
When Captomucil® is mixed with nasal mucin in certain portions, it is able to break the viscosity of the mucus network, making it much easier to eliminate excess mucus. An in vitro study conducted at the University of Münster showed that the decongestant effect of Captomucil® occurs within 30 seconds.
How to use:

It is recommended to use the nasal spray with Captomucil® at least 1 hour before or after using nasal medications.
