Instructions for use

The bottle is equipped with a removable nozzle with an extended spray. In accordance with the recommendations set forth in the instructions for the use of Maxicold Lor, do not leave the nozzle on the bottle between doses of medicine. The glycerol that is part of the product has a viscous consistency: the substance remaining in the tube after use has the property to thicken, preventing the further use of the spray.

    Insert the nozzle tube shallow into the mouth.
    Hold your breath.

    After use, remove the nozzle, rinse it in warm water and dry naturally.
    Be sure to close the bottle with a cap.
The drug “sticks” well to the mucosa and remains on it for 12 hours (in residual amounts - up to 3 days). This makes possible and sufficient twice the use of Maxicold ENT per day.
