According to the responses of doctors, it is necessary to receive a doctor’s appointment before rhinitis therapy, since the patient may have an allergic rhinitis, and this drug can only increase its negative manifestations. In addition, it is not recommended to use one cylinder to several family members, this increases the likelihood of the spread of pathogens. "Cameton" during treatment can be combined with any other medicines.
Patients who used Kameton nasal spray in their reviews tell about the beneficial effect, which manifests itself almost immediately after its irrigation into the nasal cavity. In their opinion, it contributes to the rapid elimination of pathological secretions, as a result of which the nose is cleared of mucus. Burning and dryness when using the medicine are not noted.
