General description of the medication

Aqua Maris Strong is a topical medicine manufactured by a Croatian pharmaceutical company. The medication is prescribed for diseases of the nasal cavity. It belongs to the pharmacological group of drugs that are applied topically for diseases of the nose. The active substance is the isotonic water of the Adriatic Sea. As a matter of fact, there is nothing else in the composition except sea water.

The nozzle closes with a tight cap, which must be removed before use. The liquid inside the bottles is colorless, odorless, but slightly salty to the taste. Each bottle is packed in an original cardboard box, along with detailed instructions for use.

After the first opening of the bottle, the spray can be stored for no more than one and a half months, after which the healing properties of sea water are reduced, and the sterility of the solution is severely impaired.
