Frequently asked questions
Q: Why isn’t Nozovent coloured to make it easier to find if you happen to drop it?
A: Dyes in plastic can cause allergies. Pharmacure Health Care AB is not planning to dye the plastic in Nozovent. People can, however, colour the central section with a marker pen to make Nozovent easier to find, if they drop it in bed or in the garden, for example.
Q: Nozovent products improve nasal breathing. Is it known by how many per cent the volume of the inhaled air increases?
A: The breathing improvement effect of Nozovent is experienced every day by hundreds of thousands of users all over the world. This effect has also been studied scientifically by people including Professor Björn Petruson, ENT Clinic, Sahlgrenska University Hospital, Göteborg, Sweden. He has written a review article of various studies entitled The importance of improved nasal breathing: a review of the Nozovent nostril dilator, which was published in the medical journal Acta Oto-Laryngologica in 2007. In this article, Björn Petruson presents the effects of dilating the nostrils using Nozovent Classic. In one study, the air flow during inspiration increased by 29 per cent. In another, it rose by between 5.5 and 45 per cent – large individual variations, in other words. Patients with pulmonary diseases, such as chronic asthma or COPD, can expect only slight or no improvement from using Nozovent products. No corresponding studies have been conducted on the Nozovent Nasal Strip, but the effects can be expected to be the same.
