Dexpanthenol contained in nasic® is an extremely well tolerated natural active substance. It is a derivative of pantothenic acid, also known as vitamin B5, and is appreciated for its wound repair promoting properties. Thus dexpanthenol has long been used as a reliable active substance in the treatment of external skin lesions. Used in a nasal spray - such as nasic® - dexpanthenol accelerates the healing of the irritated nasal mucosa and is therefore a valued substance, as rhinitis always poses a test of endurance for the sensitive nasal mucosa.
The nose performs a variety of functions - it cleans the air we breathe in, moistens or warms it, and enables us to smell. The nasal cavity is lined with the nasal mucosa, which performs an important immune function and, when fully intact, keeps germs in our airways at bay.
Particularly during the colder months, the nasal mucosa can perform its defence function only to a limited degree when it is dried out due to heating and low temperatures and has a reduced blood supply. Then viruses can easily penetrate the nasal mucosa and multiply here. In an attempt to remove the pathogens, the body reacts by boosting the blood supply to the nasal mucosa and producing more mucus. The nasal mucosa is irritated and swollen, and the nose feels blocked, sore and dry.
This is where dexpanthenol comes into play. It is a real "provitamin" which supports the normal epithelial function.
It accelerates wound healing, reduces dryness of the nasal mucosa, and diminishes the emergence of annoying scabs.
In sum, dexpanthenol accelerates the healing of the irritated nasal mucosa. Rhinitis is therefore soon forgotten and the nasal mucosa is able to resume its function as a natural protective barrier more quickly.
Dexpanthenol is also a well-suited and valuable active substance for children. This is a huge advantage considering children's rhinitis, as children suffer from rhinitis more often than adults and perceive a sore and painful nose more intense. nasic® for kids provides the solution here, because due to dexpanthenol's excellent tolerability and its healing-promoting effects, nasic® for kids contains a high concentration of this valuable active substance.
