Polyethylene Glycol - Rhinase Nasal Spray

2 Replies

I am trying to figure out if I have a sensitivity to Rhinase in my nose.

If I spray it on my arm (inside part), and no reaction does that indicate no issue or is there a delayed reaction and/or mucus membranes act differently?

no idea - I can only share my sins experiences that may relate. With some things (a frozen slushee) he will have huge reaction from one serving. For other things it might take a couple of repeated exposures (eating salad dressing 3 days in a row. Taking OTC Tylenol 3 days in a row, sucking of throat lozenges multiple days). I would look at the active AND non active ingredients and make my decision from there. On a related note - the Neil’s “Sinugator” has been life changing for keeping nasal passages clear if you’re looking for an alternative. (You can find it on Amazon)

Different parts of the body do react differently to exposures. Regardless of the time factor or degree of reaction, the chemicals in these pharmaceuticals all work their way into the body through skin/membrane absorption, inhalation and/or ingestion. Rhinase lubricating mist contains both PEG and PG and should be avoided if you're allergic to the glycols. Sinugator, as mentioned below, sounds like a good alternative. I use the Neti-pot at times, but have found that basically, if I keep inflammation down in my body (especially by avoiding dairy), I do not experience a lot of stuffiness/congestion.

Not what you're looking for?
