Clinical findings on the use of Sinomarin®:



1. Freche et al., “Usefulness of hypertonic seawater (Sinomarin®) in rhinology. Revue Officielle de la Societe Francaise de ORL, 50(4), 1998.

Open clinical multicentre study conducted in France on 80 adults with nasal disorders that caused permanent or intermittent nasal obstruction.

Evaluation of Nasal Obstruction


• Complete disappearance 19,8%
• Improvement 57,7%
• Stabilization 21,1%
• Aggravation 1,4%


After 2 weeks of treatment, 2 applications per day, a significant improvement or disappearance of symptoms was observed in more than 75% of the cases!

Clinical Efficacy

• Significant improvement was observed in most etiology of rhinitis cases
• 81% of all cases were rated as satisfactory or above



After two weeks of treatment, a significant improvement or total disappearance of nasal obstruction was seen in 81% of cases for most etiologies of rhinitis cases.

Safety and tolerance
95% of the people who used Sinomarin report good or excellent tolerance!

“Use of hypertonic seawater (2.3%) is effective on nasal obstruction (hypertrophic rhinitis, allergic rhinitis, polyposis, vasomotor rhinitis, purulent rhinitis, unspecified rhinitis”


2. Clinical study conducted in 2007 with Mexican patients: an investigational, prospective, longitudinal, comparative, multicentre, open-label study on the efficacy and tolerability of Sinomarin Spray for the treatment of rhinitis. Journal of the Federation of Otalaryngological and Societies of the Mexican Republic, 2008.

Investigational, prospective, longitudinal, comparative, multi-centre, open-label study conducted in Mexico on 333 patients assessing the efficacy and tolerance of Sinomarin Spray for the treatment of rhinitis.

Evaluation of Nasal Obstruction

After 20 days of treatment, a significant improvement or disappearance of symptoms was observed in Sinomarin-treated patients.

Evaluation of rhinorrhea level

After 20 days of treatment, a significant improvement of rhinorrhea was observed in Sinomarin-treated patients (p<0.05)

Tolerance

Sinomarin was well tolerated in all cases: “The study demonstrates that hypertonic solution irrigation using Sinomarin® (2.3%) is beneficial, since it enables a more rapid action on the edema, a virtually common characteristic of nasal, catarrhal, infectious or allergic disorders.”

Prospective randomized study comparing the effect of 2.3% buffered hypertonic seawater with buffered isotonic saline and non-buffered isotonic saline) on mucociliary clearance and nasal patency in 45 patients who underwent septoplasty.


Saccharine Clearance Times (SCT) indicative of mucociliary clearance.

Hypertonic solutions are more advantageous than isotonic solutions for use in MCT mucociliary clearance. Positive effect of buffered 2.3% hypertonic seawater on the mucociliary activity has been attributed to both its alkalinity and high osmolarity.

Nasal patency increase on the 20th operative day with respect to 5th postoperative day, showed significant difference between the buffered 2.3% hypertonic saline compared to non-buffered isotonic saline (P = 0.042).

“Buffered hypertonic solutions used after endonasal surgery have been advantageous for both mucociliary clearance and postoperative decongestion, and these solutions do not cause severe nasal burning that prevents their use.”
