Yes. Stérimar is drug-free and doesn’t contain preservatives so there is no known risk of interaction with any other medication. However, in all cases it is best to check with your doctor.
Stérimar Isotonic and Stérimar Baby are purified sea water solutions with the same concentration of salts as the cells in the human body. As such, irritation is highly unlikely. Stérimar Hypertonic has a higher salt content than Stérimar Isotonic but the solution is still less salty than sea water. A sensation of dryness may occur and should disappear within a few days.
Always follow instructions and/or doctor's recommendations.

Stérimar products can be kept for a maximum of three years after manufacture or until all solution has been used. The expiry date can be found at the bottom of the can and carton. Each dose of Stérimar delivered is aseptic. The valve on top of the can prevents air from entering. Also, because the solution is kept in a sterilised pouch it never comes into contact with either the aluminium can or the non-flammable nitrogen gas within.
You must clean the nozzle in soapy water to remove any microorganisms left after use to help avoid any cross-contamination.
The unique Stérimar micro-diffusion system produces a fine spray of sea water. As the droplets produced by Stérimar are microfine, they remain in contact with the walls of the nasal passages for longer, making Stérimar even more effective.
Copper and manganese are found in very small amounts in the human body. They stimulate the body’s self defense mechanisms and help keep it healthy.
