Overview
The term “dry nose” indicates a condition, where crusts are formed in nasal cavities sometimes with a dense secrete clinging to mucosa. The mucosa may become atrophic and in some areas metaplastic, especially in the frontal parts of nasal septum. These conditions are usually treated with lavage of nasal cavities, mucosa moisturizing or treatment with ointments. It is intended to improve the trophic processes of respiration mucosa and support regeneration processes. The article contains evaluation of the preparation Rinopanteina nasal ointment, which extended the generally limited number of suitable nasal ointments.
