Contains: Sesame seed oil 1mL/mL

Overview

Nozoil^® contains all three natural forms of Vitamin E (alpha, beta and gamma) and is available in two pack formats for your convenience (Spray or Drops).

Clinical trials^1,2 have shown Nozoil^® effectively moisturises nasal tissues to prevent dryness and crusting.

Nozoil^® helps to shield damaged dry and crusty tissue from the drying effect of air^1,2 and also helps to reduce the effects of inflammation which can occur in nasal tissue³. Nozoil^® will not evaporate quickly from the nasal tissues. Its moisturising effects can therefore last longer and this may help to relieve symptoms of dryness and crusting more effectively.⁴

Indications

Nozoil^® is indicated for the temporary relief of dry and crusting nasal tissue

Nasal tissue may become dry and irritated (sometimes causing nose bleeds) from any of the following:

• During and after a common cold
• While using medical devices which deliver air into the nasal passages
• While using nasal steroid medications
• In low humidity environments, e.g. air-conditioning, aircraft cabins
• After nasal surgery
• While using certain medications - e.g. the treatment of acne
• In older people - as a result of natural changes to the nasal tissues and also to shape of the inside of the nose

A diagrammatic representation of how Nozoil^® deflects drying air streams from dry and crusty nasal tissues. Once healed, the tissues can function normally and produce a mucus blanket which shields delicate underlying tissue from drying and crusting.

Always read the label and use as directed. See your healthcare practitioner if symptoms persist
