Reviews about Aqualor Fort
Reviews about Aqualor Fort are quite controversial. Many users describe it as an effective treatment for nasal congestion, improving nasal breathing, and relieving runny nose treatment.
In other reviews, it is indicated that the drug does not at all relieve nasal congestion, and therefore it is recommended to use it only to moisturize and cleanse the nasal mucosa in order to prevent the development of infectious / allergic diseases. Many users are dissatisfied with the rather high price of the product.
Almost all reviews note the natural composition of the product, the safety of its use and the absence of addiction. The advantages of the drug also include the fact that it is easy to use and has a large volume.
Price for Aqualor forte in pharmacies
The price for Aqualor Forte can be approximately 410–450 rubles (for a bottle with 125 ml of solution for intranasal administration).
