CLARICARE® FAQs
WHAT IS DAILY NASAL HYGIENE? WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?
Your nose accumulates mucus, dust, bacteria, viruses, and fungi on a daily basis. This makes your nose an ideal environment for germs and sickness. As such, it is important for you to clean your nose daily.
Saline sprays like Claricare® can help to clean & moisten the nasal mucosa, which is especially useful for elderly individuals, who are prone to a dry nose.
WHAT IS AN ISOTONIC?
Isotonic refers to the salt concentration in a solution, which is of equal balance with the concentration of salt in the human body. This balance is what makes isotonic Claricare® the perfect option for clearing, cleaning and hydrating sensitive noses, like your baby’s.
To create our range of isotonic solutions, we desalinate 100% naturally-sourced seawater via an electrodialysis until it reaches 0.9% sodium chloride, whilst preserving its other minerals and trace elements.
WHAT ARE THE INGREDIENTS IN CLARICARE®?
Claricare® is made with isotonic, naturally-sourced seawater from the Bay of Saint-Malo, which contains more than 70 trace elements and minerals that are naturally found in seawater. It does not contain any preservatives.
WHAT IS THE ADVANTAGE OF THE SEAWATER FROM SAINT-MALO?
The quality of seawater is dependent on the power of the tides. In the Bay of Saint-Malo, the tides are very powerful, which means that the current constantly regenerates its mineral salt content. When our laboratories use this mineral-rich seawater, we are able to manufacture products which contain high-quality ingredients, and maintain its quality throughout the desalination process.
CAN CLARICARE® BE USED SEVERAL TIMES A DAY?
With Claricare® Daily Nasal Hygiene Spray: For daily prevention, use a single 1-2 second spray in each nostril, 1-2 times a day. If nasal symptoms are present, use a single 1-2 second spray in each nostril, 4-6 times a day.
With Claricare® Baby Nasal Hygiene Spray: For daily prevention, 1-2 sprays in each nostril 2 times a day. If nasal symptoms are present, 1-2 sprays in each nostril 4 times a day.
CAN I STOP TAKING MY MEDICATION IF I USE CLARICARE®?
You should not stop taking your current medication without first consulting a health care professional.
CAN CLARICARE® BE USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH OTHER MEDICAL TREATMENTS? FOR EXAMPLE, CAN IT BE USED ALONG WITH A NASAL STEROID, AN ANTIHISTAMINE, AN ANTI-INFECTIVE OR AN ANTIBIOTIC?
You should consult your health care professional if you have any questions about using Claricare® with other medications.
CAN I USE CLARICARE® DURING PREGNANCY AND BREASTFEEDING?

IS CLARICARE® BABY NASAL HYGIENE SPRAY SAFE FOR USE ON INFANTS?

CAN MULTIPLE FAMILY MEMBERS USE THE SAME CLARICARE® PRODUCT?
