    Breathing help

    Question
    Do you carry any products that may assist in dealing with sinus infections and post nasal drip?

    Answer

    We carry Breathe-Ease Nasal Spray and Irrigation Solution and Breathe-Ease XL Nasal Wash System. Breathe-Ease is a new moisturizing and irrigation solution for the nose that is both effective and economical. Breathe-ease unique "Ringers-Locke" solution is formulated to approximate the body's natural salinity and electrolyte composition.

    This unique formulation is reported in medical journals best for nasal cilia to prevent the nasal cilia from slowing due to infection, allergy, and contagion and more appropriate than regular saline. Breathe-Ease is additive-free, and is as economical as possible.

    The spray bottle that is included in the purchase can be used as a spray to irrigate directly, or just as drops. However, usage of this product by patients has shown that better cleaning of sinus infections and post nasal drip is achieved by using with a sinus irrigator.

    insulin

    Question
    how should insulin be stored?

    Answer

    You may store insulin for a period of time until the expiry date has been reached. You should not use insulin past the expiry date.

    The effective way for you to store insulin is on its side in the refrigerator. The refrigerator should be between 2 and 8 degrees C.

    Never freeze the insulin. The bottle of insulin that is being used may be kept out of the refrigerator but must not be exposed to extreme temperatures.

    Insulin kept out of the refrigerator must be disgarded after one month.
