algovir® Children's Cold Spray – The natural protective film for the nose

Most colds are caused by viruses that enter through the nose, the main entry point. The patented active ingredient Carragelose® (iota-carrageenan) in algovir® envelops the viruses, forms a protective film on the nasal mucosa, and can thus prevent and reduce the viruses from penetrating the mucosa.^¹

algovir® can do ² :

• to prevent a full-blown cold
• to alleviate cold symptoms
• shorten the duration of a cold

algovir® Children is suitable for use in children from 1 year of age. The spray volume of the cold spray is specially designed for children's noses.
