Sinuforte is intended for the treatment of various inflammatory diseases that occur in the sinuses. The medicine is based on extract and juice of European cyclamen. When the drug enters the mucosa of the middle nasal passage, it is able to cause reflex secretion of the paranasal sinuses and the entire mucous membrane. Such stimulated hypersecretion is observed within an hour.
