Betadine Cold Defence Adult Nasal Spray 20ml is a natural, drug-free nasal spray clinically proven to help fight cold and flu viruses from the first sign of symptoms. Powered by Carragelose (iota-carrageenan), it forms a protective barrier inside the nose where viruses first take hold, trapping them before they can multiply and helping shorten the duration of a common cold in adults.
How It Works
Betadine Cold Defence works as a physical barrier rather than a drug. When sprayed, the Carragelose solution coats the nasal lining and forms a protective gel-like layer that captures and neutralises cold and flu viruses, stopping them from entering and replicating in the cells. Because it acts physically and not through medication, it is non-drowsy, non-addictive and steroid-free, and it also moistens the nasal lining to protect it from dryness.
Important Information
Betadine Cold Defence is suitable for adults and is generally well tolerated, with side effects such as mild nasal irritation or dryness being rare. Do not use if you are allergic to any of the ingredients, and stop use if an adverse reaction occurs. To avoid contamination, do not share the bottle between different people and avoid contact with the eyes. It can be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding only on the advice of your doctor. This product supports the body against cold viruses but does not replace vaccination or medical treatment. If symptoms persist or worsen, or last more than 7 days, consult your healthcare provider. Always read the label and use only as directed. Keep out of the reach of children and store as indicated on the package.
The spray is built around a single clinically studied natural active in a gentle saline base:
• Carragelose (iota-carrageenan) - a natural seaweed extract that forms an antiviral protective barrier
• Purified saline solution - moistens and soothes the nasal mucosa
• Preservative-free, steroid-free and drug-free formulation
Use at the first sign of cold or flu symptoms for best results. Blow your nose gently, remove the cap and prime the pump until a fine mist appears. Hold the bottle upright, insert the nozzle into one nostril and spray once while breathing in, then repeat in the other nostril. Apply 1 spray into each nostril 3 times a day. The unique filter system keeps the spray preservative-free and stable for up to 1 year after opening.
