Triofan Cold is a local medicine for colds that reduces swelling of the nasal mucosa and reduces and liquefies the mucous nasal discharge. This makes it possible to breathe through the nose again. Triofan Cold is used to reduce swelling of the nasal mucosa and make breathing easier when you have a cold.
On the advice of a doctor, pharmacist or druggist, Triofan Cold can also be used for inflammation of the nasal mucosa and paranasal sinuses as well as inflammation of the nasal passages caused by surgery. Triofan Cold for toddlers and infants may only be used on infants following specialist advice from a doctor, pharmacist or druggist. Triofan Cold is available in the form of drops and spray (guarantees precise dosing and good distribution).
