Spray nose invisible flu mask. Nazaval plus barrier otolaryng spray
People! What am I going to tell you now! Has everyone already worn a gauze mask this winter? Well, we certainly saw such people in stores, the subway and at work.
Everyone is afraid of this terrible flu or orvi. Everyone who sneezes is recorded as an enemy of the people. I don’t even know why I didn’t write about this remedy before - it has already settled so firmly in our first aid kit that I somehow got used to it.
The immunologist advised me this remedy when I was on preservation, and herpes jumped out in our ward. A contagious thing, but for pregnant women it is very dangerous. And I have an immunologist appointed that very day. I, of course, all in experiences, asked how to defend myself. And she took this nazaval out of the table. Here, he says, there is nowhere more modern - an invisible mask. Gee. Bought.
It is found in a bottle, similar to all bottles with nasal drops. The difference is that inside is not a liquid, but a dry powder. It is a mixture of cellulose, garlic extract and mint.
It is not very pleasant to use it nasally: you need to inject the powder while inhaling. Well, this feeling of powder in the nose is not the most pleasant. There is a smell of garlic and mint. But the discomfort passes quickly. Further, judging by the instructions, the powder turns into a gel-like layer, which protects our body from viruses. This layer suppresses and neutralizes all evil spirits.
I think that this tool is really know-how. Everyone is used to oxolinka, they sweep it in packs. And what is this oxolinic ointment? This is a greasy cream that sticks together all the nasal villi, which are designed just to push out viruses. And we greased them, but fatter. We harm ourselves. Here there is no sticky mass - the powder does not "turn off" the villi, but rather helps them. This is how I understand how this tool works.
Our oxolink has been lying around in the refrigerator since 2009 - they also bought it during the epidemic, and then they found out that it was a "dummy", they stopped using it - that's how it has been lying since then - you have to throw it away. And then I found out that the fragment is also harmful - it is absorbed into the blood and further through the internal organs.
Well, there is nothing to compare with the mask. The mask is ugly and also dangerous. When breathing on the gauze or fabric from which the mask is made, condensation forms, and in a humid environment, viruses and microbes multiply with increased zeal. So either the mask should be changed often or it is better not to wear it. In addition, according to the rules, in general, a mask should be worn by a sick person, not a healthy one.
Nazaval - exclusively for prevention (not for treatment). It can be used not only before going outside, but also after contact with a sick person - the instruction says that with the help of this tool it is possible to prevent further illness (to be honest, this is hard to believe, but who knows - a weak virus will suddenly come across, ready to die from the smell of garlic).
We have been using it for the third season already and will last for next winter. The bottle is not finished yet. Fortunately, it does not have such expiration dates as, for example, influenzaferon - after opening, use it within 30 days. Everything is simple here - the shelf life is 3 years. Very economical. There are 200 doses in a vial (I don't think we've even sprayed half of that yet).
Can be used by children, pregnant and lactating women.
Of course, I don't have any lab data to back up the effectiveness of over-the-counter. But I can say that I used it before each visit to the children's clinic - everything went fine. And that week, my husband and I went to the mall, after naturally sprinkling our nose in bulk. We went to the right department, and our consultant was wearing a mask. We even laughed kindly at this case, she managed to give us a tour of several goods and then it dawns on me - is she not sick ??? I ask: "why do you need a mask, are you hiding from buyers or are you sick yourself?" Herself! From the store, my husband and I were blown away by the wind. But fortunately, neither he nor I picked up anything from her.
So while flu season and SARS are in full swing - try it. I hope he will also save you from uncivilized people who, instead of sitting and being treated at home, go around and infect others. All health.
- New and unique nasal powder spray
- Protects the body from colds and flu throughout the season.
- Acts as an "invisible mask" against viruses and bacteria that enter the body with inhaled air
- A safe and convenient way to prevent SARS in all populations, including children, women during pregnancy and lactation.
What is Nasaval PLUS?
2 active ingredients:
1. micronized cellulose
When combined with the mucus of the nasal cavity, microcellulose forms a gel-like coating - a filter that protects the body from microparticles inhaled with air (viruses, bacteria, allergens, pollutants).
The protective role of cellulose
- Emberlin JC, Curr Med Res Opin 2006; Vol 22; no. 2; 275-285.
- Inhibits the growth of bacteria and viruses in the confined space of the nose
- Safe to use for a year
- Hull et al, Acta Otorhinolaryngol Ital. 2007 Apr;27(2):73-7. Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial (N=441)
- Cellulose has the ability to create a non-specific, unfavorable environment for viruses in the nasopharyngeal region
- Significant reduction in symptom severity and duration of SARS compared to placebo.
2. wild garlic extract
(Allium ursinum, wild garlic, bear's onion)
Phytoncides (allicin, ajoenes)
(from Greek phyton - plant and lat. caedo - I kill)
The term phytoncides was proposed by B.P. Tokin in 1928.
These are biologically active substances that kill or inhibit the growth and reproduction of microorganisms. Allicin and ajoenes have proven antibacterial, fungicidal and antiviral effects.
N.B. Unlike antibiotics and antiviral agents, resistance of microorganisms does not develop to phytoncides.
How does Nazaval PLUS work?
- A special spray dispenser sprays the exact dosage of powder into the nose.
- A gel-like layer forms on the nasal mucosa, which, without interfering with breathing, acts as a natural barrier or filter against viruses and bacteria inhaled with air.
- Thanks to their healing properties, wild garlic extract inhibits growth and neutralizes bacteria and viruses.
Protecting the nasal mucosa, Nazaval PLUS acts as an "invisible mask" against viruses and bacteria, preventing the onset of colds (ARVI, flu)

As soon as the season of flu and colds begins, people think about protecting their bodies. One such method is the flu mask. How effective is this method and why are they so popular?
Before you figure out what masks are for, you need to know what types exist. This is referred to.
- Disposable masks. Made from fabric or paper, which are sold in pharmacy kiosks. It costs quite inexpensively, but it can protect a person from the penetration of viruses within two hours. After this time, it becomes damp and is harmful to the patient. Often they are issued to employees in children's institutions or medical institutions.
- Disposable masks, but consist of more layers. You can wear it continuously for more than four to six hours. Sold in pharmacy kiosks, but the cost is a little more expensive.
- Respirators. Sold in repair and construction stores. On the face they sit quite tightly. They have a big plus: they can be worn without removing them during the day. But there is also a minus: it is difficult to breathe in such masks.
- Reusable masks. You can make it yourself at home. It is enough to take a piece of gauze, fold it into four layers, and put cotton wool between them. It needs to be washed every day. And so that viruses do not penetrate, every two to three hours it needs to be ironed.
The effect of the flu mask
Wearing a mask on the face, the patient closes his mouth and nose. To be able to breathe easily, the air must pass through the thickness of the fabric or paper. Therefore, pharmacy kiosks sell two-, three-, four-layer flu masks. The thinner it is, the more likely it is to catch the flu. The virus enters a person through contact with a sick person or through airborne droplets. Microbes are found in the air. Without the use of a mask, a person's chance of catching the virus increases to ninety-nine percent; when using a piece of cloth or gauze, it drops to fifty.
The thicker the flu mask, the better. But in addition, it is necessary to use topical agents.
Wearing a mask is mandatory when caring for a sick family member.
Protective equipment must also be worn in public places where there are a lot of people. Before that, doctors recommend lubricating the nose with oxolin ointment or dripping Grippferon.
During exacerbations, it is better to refrain from shopping and spend all your free time on the street. Viruses do not like fresh air and wind. A lot of walking is recommended for children attending school and preschool institutions. A walk on the street should last up to three to four hours a day.
Use of flu masks
In order for the flu mask to bring greater effect, you need to know how to use it correctly. There are several recommendations. They are referred to.
- The use of different masks throughout the day. No matter what type of mask the patient has chosen, it must be changed every two to three hours.
- Putting on a mask. The flu mask should fit snugly to the face, cover the nasal and oral cavity. It is important to ensure that there are no cracks or holes.
- Mask change. It is necessary to carry out if the patient touched it with dirty hands.
- Refusal to re-wear the old mask. If the patient came home and took off the mask, it should be thrown away immediately, as it contains a lot of viruses and germs.
- Hand washing. After the patient has taken off the mask, it is necessary to wash the face and hands with the use of soap-containing products.
Other Ways to Protect Against the Flu
Many experts believe that the best protection against the flu is vaccination. In its composition, the vaccine contains viruses that cause an unpleasant ailment. It is recommended to put it two to three months before the start of the period of exacerbations. This is necessary so that the body has time to adapt to the strains of the virus and develop the necessary antibodies.
There is a group of people who are vaccinated free of charge. They are referred to.
- pregnant women.
- Workers of kindergartens, schools and medical personnel.
- Elderly people over sixty years old.
- children preschool age. Vaccination is carried out directly in kindergarten with the consent of the parents.
- Children under twelve months old. Influenza vaccination is given at the clinic at the place of residence.
You don't have to wear a mask to protect yourself from colds and flu. It is enough to follow a few preventive measures. They are referred to.
- Strengthening immune function with antiviral and immunostimulating agents.
- Reception of various vitamin complexes, which include vitamin C.
- Fluid intake of at least two liters per day.
- Avoid hypothermia, overheating and drafts.
- Refusal to walk in strong winds.
- Dressing for the weather. If the child on the street moves a lot, then you do not need to wear two or three sweaters on him.
- Washing hands and face with soap after walking and before eating.
- A balanced diet rich in vitamins.
- Laying out garlic or onions during exacerbations.
- Airing the room at least three times a day.
- Hydration before bed.
- Daily wet cleaning with the use of disinfectants.
- Carrying out hardening procedures and physical exercises.
Although the mask is called a means of protection, it is more suitable for people with the flu. And in order for a healthy person to protect himself from colds, it is necessary to lubricate the nose with oxolin ointment and propolis tincture. At the first sign of flu at night, you need to take warm milk with honey, drip into the nose of Grippferoni, put on warm socks.

Influenza is a serious and dangerous disease. An insidious infection can lie in wait for a person at every turn. Children who have not yet fully developed immunity are considered especially vulnerable. It often happens that a child goes to school or kindergarten healthy, and returns with a fever. The risk of contracting the flu also increases in pregnant women and the elderly. As you know, any disease is easier to prevent than to treat later. And an innovative development will help in this - an invisible mask from the flu.
Nazaval PLUS - effective protection against influenza
Microscopic particles of the virus are easily transmitted by airborne droplets. A potential victim inhales droplets of mucus or saliva, invisible to the eye, secreted by a sick person, and soon becomes a source of infection herself.
Note: the incubation period is usually 1-2 days, but a weakened body can experience all the "charms" of the disease after a few hours.
The virus begins its victorious march from the upper respiratory tract, affecting the epithelium of the nose, trachea and bronchi. Then it enters the bloodstream and spreads throughout the body, poisoning it with the products of its vital activity.
Prevention of the disease should be comprehensive. Taking vitamins and limiting contact with infected people will help to avoid illness, and an invisible flu mask will further enhance protection. She encounters an insidious virus directly at the entrance gate, preventing it from penetrating further and quickly cracking down on the aggressor.
Miracle spray: mechanism of action
"Nazaval PLUS" is an otolaryngological remedy, produced in the form of a spray and acting as a kind of filter. It is based on wild garlic extract, as well as cellulose obtained from plants and crushed to granules. minimum size. An auxiliary substance is peppermint extract, which gives the product a pleasant aroma.
Special mention deserves the drug "Nazaval", which is not an analogue, but is used to prevent relapse and complex treatment of allergic rhinitis.
Such an unusual flu mask works as follows: the powder enters the mucous membrane of the nasal cavity and, in contact with it, forms a gel. This protective layer serves as a barrier to viral particles. They settle on a gel film and are immediately exposed to the destructive effects of wild garlic.
Wild garlic is one of the most important components of the invisible flu mask.
This medicinal plant is a storehouse of useful substances. Ramson, which is popularly called wild garlic or bear's onion, effectively fights SARS due to the following elements in the composition:
- vitamin C, or ascorbic acid: increases the body's resistance and mobilizes its hidden internal reserves;
- alliin glycoside: destroys pathogens, and also inhibits their growth and reproduction;
- phytoncides: have bactericidal and fungicidal properties;
- beta-carotene: is a powerful antioxidant and adaptogen, providing the body with protection from harmful biological effects from the outside;
- lysozyme: considered a strong natural antibiotic;
- vitamin B 2, or riboflavin: accelerates the healing of the damaged mucous membrane of the respiratory tract;
- vitamin B 9, or folic acid: takes part in the formation of immunity;
- vitamin PP, or nicotinic acid: characterized by a detoxifying effect.
The beneficial properties of the plant prompted the Italian pharmaceutical giant Zambon to develop Nazaval PLUS. This is how the innovative invisible flu mask was born. Spray with wild garlic extract neutralizes viruses and bacteria, and therefore is an excellent prevention of flu and colds.
NazavalPLUS does not enter the bloodstream, does not contain preservatives and dyes, can be used in childhood and also during pregnancy or lactation.
There are few contraindications to the drug. It should not be used with a tendency to nosebleeds, allergies to garlic and in case of individual intolerance to the constituent components. The gel formed by it does not interfere with breathing and does not irritate sensitive mucous membranes.
Comparative characteristics
For the prevention of SARS infection during the epidemic, a time-tested method is actively used - a medical mask against influenza. There is no doubt that the spray is more convenient to use, and appearance while not suffering. However, which of the two is more effective? Let's try to figure it out.
sheet mask
In the spring of 2015, the BMJ Open magazine published the results of a study conducted in 14 hospitals in Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam. His goal was to find out if the mask helps against flu viruses and other airborne infections.
Fabric mask passes through itself 97% of pathogenic microorganisms
The medical staff of medical institutions in the amount of 607 people were divided into groups. One part of the subjects had to wear rag-based masks, the other - from non-woven fabric. The experiment lasted 4 weeks, and the results were stunning.
In the first case, it turned out that the mask passes 97% of pathogenic microorganisms through itself. Non-woven fabric turned out to be the best protection - 56% of pathogens accumulated on it.
From this study, we can conclude that simple gauze bandages will not be able to protect against infection with the flu. A medical multi-layer mask with an internal filter proved to be more effective, but when using it, you must adhere to the following rules:
- do not wear again;
- do not touch with hands;
- do not wear more than 2 hours.
Some people mistakenly believe that the effect of wearing such a bandage is comparable to the use of respirators. This is wrong. It has been experimentally proven that air with pathogenic microbes can enter the body through cracks, which are inevitably formed due to the loose fit of the mask to the skin. In this regard, such a remedy should be used primarily by patients in order to prevent infection of other people and prevent the spread of infection.
"Nazawal PLUS"
The manufacturer claims that the drug is suitable for both single and daily use. If you are going to visit places with a large crowd of people, travel by public transport or contact with a sick person, it is enough to inject a single dose of medicine into the nose. The action of the powder is designed for 5-6 hours.
It is better to prevent the onset of the flu than to treat it later
In the autumn-winter period, when the influenza epidemic reaches its peak, it is recommended to use the spray daily, 3-4 times a day. However, due to good tolerability and lack of side effects there are no strict restrictions. The tool can be applied as often as necessary.
Note: after cleansing the nasal passages, the gel layer is destroyed, so a second injection of the drug is required. It is important to consider that the drug is not compatible with oil-based ointments and nasal drops.
Based on the results of the analysis of two popular means for the prevention of acute respiratory viral infections, it turned out that the Nazaval PLUS invisible influenza mask seems to be more effective than a multi-layer fabric bandage. In any case, their simultaneous use is not forbidden. Such a precautionary measure will significantly reduce the risk of catching a viral infection.
Public opinion
The appearance of a miracle spray on the pharmaceutical market could not go unnoticed. The novelty attracted buyers at an affordable price, natural composition, the absence of serious contraindications and side effects.
After analyzing the reviews left by consumers, we will retell the content of some of them:
It's just a find. I finally stopped getting ARVI in the winter, and for the first time in the last 2 years my child got rid of a runny nose and sore throat. Previously, in kindergarten, he constantly picked up an infection. The medicine is spent economically, it lasts for 3 months. Finally, a worthy alternative was found to an uncomfortable medical mask and useless Oxolinic ointment.
I first tried this tool when I was on save. It was recommended to me by my immunologist. "Nazaval PLUS" is used only for the prevention of a viral infection, not for treatment. But he helped my husband and I not get sick. The spray has a shelf life of 3 years, we have been using it for more than a season, we still haven’t used it up to the end. And yet, unlike drops of "Grippferon", it does not need to be stored in the refrigerator and you can take it with you.
There are much more positive reviews about the drug than negative ones. However, a barrel of honey was not without a fly in the ointment:
The child goes to the kindergarten for the first year and constantly catches a cold. "Nazaval PLUS" was prescribed to us by a pediatrician. According to her, this nasal spray is an invisible mask for the flu. I sprinkled powder in the baby's nose every morning before kindergarten, additionally gave him herbal teas to strengthen immunity, tried to temper him. All in vain, the child gets sick with the same frequency. So the vaunted drug is another “dummy”.
In general, people are satisfied with the effectiveness of Nazaval PLUS
The whole family used the nasal spray with garlic extract. As a result, everyone had the flu in turn - me, my husband and my six-year-old child. They fully experienced all the "charms" of SARS - a runny nose, aching bones, fever. This remedy irritates the nasal mucosa and makes it difficult to breathe. The spray is not cheap, so it's a pity for the money thrown to the wind.
Expert opinion
Efficiency medicinal product has been clinically confirmed in numerous studies conducted both in our country and abroad. Based on their results, the following conclusions were drawn:
- the drug made it possible to avoid ARVI in 80% of the subjects;
- the duration of ARVI in patients taking Nasaval PLUS decreased by 2.5 times;
- the severity of ARVI symptoms decreased in 17.5% of patients;
- compared with the results of the previous year, the use of nasal spray reduced the incidence in 90% of the participants in the experiment.
As a result of the studies, the high safety and good tolerability of the drug was confirmed, and its effectiveness was 4.3 times higher compared to placebo drugs. The preventive effect of the powder persists for 3 weeks after the end of the intake, and reaches its maximum 2 weeks after its start.
The ability of the drug to protect a person from reinfection, in other words, from re-infection with the same pathogen, which should be differentiated from a relapse of the disease, has been confirmed.
Medical experts confirm the effectiveness of the invisible mask
Thus, the medical mask for SARS is losing its position and is rapidly losing popularity. Modern remedy in the form of a nasal spray natural ingredients formulated to be effective and last longer, it appears to be an excellent alternative to an uncomfortable dressing and can be recommended for use by adults and children with an increased risk of viral infection.
