Indications & Uses
Sodimist Spary is indicated for:
Pharmacology
Nasal drop: Sodium Chloride nasal drop is a non-drug, isotonic saline solution used to moisturize the nasal membranes. This formulation provides comfort for extensive and continuous use. Sodium Chloride 0.9% nasal wash moistens the inside of the nose by dissolving and softening thick or crusty mucus, helping to clear the mucus from the nose and making breathing easier. Excess sodium is mainly excreted by the kidneys, with small amounts lost in faeces and sweat. Nasal spray: Sodium Chloride 0.9% Nasal Spray moistens the inside of the nose by dissolving and softening thick or crusty mucus, helping to clear the mucus from the nose and making breathing easier. Excess sodium is mainly excreted by the kidneys, with small amounts lost in faeces and sweat. In babies and young children with stuffy noses who cannot blow their noses, using this product helps make the mucus easier to remove with a nasal bulb syringe. This helps relieve stuffiness and makes breathing easier. Sterile Nebulizer Solution: it draws water from the walls of the airways into the phlegm, making the phlegm thinner and much less sticky. This makes it much easier to cough out the phlegm or mucus from the lungs.

Nosomist should be given with caution to patients with congestive heart failure, peripheral or pulmonary oedema, impaired renal function, or pre-eclampsia. Care should also be taken when giving Nosomist intravenously to very young or elderly patients. Excessive administration should be avoided, as this may result in hypokalaemia. The infusion should be stopped immediately if rigor occurs for any reason during its use. Do not use if the solution is cloudy, contains particles, or is past its expiry date. Ophthalmic solution: Tell your doctor if you have a history of eye problems or any allergies. As with any medication, this should be used cautiously during pregnancy or while breastfeeding; discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor. If the condition for which this was prescribed does not improve, or becomes worse after a few days, stop using it and consult your doctor. If you miss a dose, use it as soon as you remember, but do not use it if it is close to the time of your next dose. In that case, skip the missed dose and resume your usual dosing schedule. Do not double up the dose to catch up.

Treatment
Treatment means giving sodium-free liquids and stopping the excessive sodium intake.
