Salineb 7% Sterile Hypertonic Saline Solution Vials for inhalation 60 x 4ml –

What is Salineb 7% used for?
Salineb 7% is a sterile hypertonic saline solution used with a nebuliser to help loosen and clear thick mucus from the lungs. It’s often recommended for people with conditions like cystic fibrosis, bronchiectasis, COPD, or chronic chest infections.

How does it work?
The higher salt concentration draws moisture into the airways, helping to thin and loosen mucus. This makes it easier to cough up and breathe more comfortably.

How do I use it?
Use one 4ml vial in a nebuliser as directed by your doctor or respiratory therapist. It’s single-use, so discard any leftover solution after each session. Always follow medical advice for how often and when to use it.

Do I need a prescription?
Salineb 7% is often used under medical supervision, but availability may vary depending on local regulations. It’s always a good idea to consult your healthcare provider before starting treatment.

Is it suitable for children?
Yes, but only if prescribed or advised by a doctor. Children with mucus-related conditions may benefit, but dosing and frequency should be carefully managed by a healthcare professional.

Can it cause any side effects?
Some people may experience coughing, throat irritation, or mild chest tightness during or after use. This is often temporary. If you have asthma or sensitive airways, you might be advised to use a bronchodilator beforehand.

Can I use it every day?
Yes—many people use hypertonic saline daily or several times a week, depending on their condition. Always follow the treatment plan set by your doctor.

Does it replace other inhalers or medications?
No. Salineb is typically part of a broader respiratory care routine. You should continue using other prescribed medications unless advised otherwise.

Do I need a specific type of nebuliser?
Salineb works with most standard jet or ultrasonic nebulisers. If you’re unsure, ask your pharmacist or healthcare provider for guidance.

How should I store the vials?
Store the vials at room temperature in a cool, dry place. Keep them out of reach of children and do not use if the packaging is damaged or the solution looks cloudy.
