Just had a squirt this morning..i ve got marginal high blood pressure but took the spray at 5.00 am.

I usually take my BP medication ( amlodipine 5mg) at around 11.00 am

I would say no gmb359 but if you want to use it anyway then that’s fine. Take care xxxx

I doubt it but I read something a while back saying that rubbing some Vik or vaseline round the inside edge of your nose when going out can trap bacteria and virus' so they can't enter into you body through the nasal cavity.

Hi James, this method is used to stop allergens from being inhaled by people like me with problems such as allergic rhinitis, sinus problems, asthma and just inhaling nasty niffs. I doubt if it will stop the Corona virus but hey try it, it won't do you any harm. Maximonkey

Good idea, there's no harm in trying it. I've got some Boots dual defence so I'll use that. I doubt if I'll be flying anywhere in the near future.😷👍

Understandably COVID19 has taken focus but lets not forget we still have all the other bugs out to get us just as in any other winter and spring. I will continue to take and use all the means of staying well but this year with the added precautions against COVID19. Stay safe and warm.
