Siccalix is a nasal ointment for moistening dry nasal mucosa. Its promoting effects on the cell tissue support the regeneration of the skin and mucous membranes, especially in cases after an operation on the nasal septum.
The two active ingredients contained in Siccalix, sea salt and dexpanthenol, complement each other in their effects. The properties of sea salt cause the nasal mucosa to be moistened, which means that the fine cilia in the nose are no longer obstructed and they can perform their function again.
