Becodefence Kids Allergy Defence - 20 ml

Becodefence Kids Allergy Defence Nasal Spray 20 ml is a specially formulated drug-free and steroid-free nasal spray that helps defend children aged 6 to 12 years against the onset and worsening of common hay fever and seasonal allergy symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, nasal congestion and itchy or watery eyes.

It contains a unique thixotropic formula that becomes fluid when shaken for easy application, then settles back onto the nasal lining as a protective microgel. This gel creates a physical barrier that helps trap pollen, dust and other airborne allergens, helping to prevent them from triggering an allergic response.

• Becodefence Kids starts working quickly — typically within 3 minutes — and the effect can last for up to 6 hours per application
