BREATH WELL SG CAPS

• The aromatic vapour gives a sensation of clearer breathing and eases the discomfort of a blocked nose.
• Steam inhalation itself helps loosen nasal and sinus secretions, making them easier to clear.
• Eucalyptol and camphor stimulate cold receptors in the nasal passages, which the patient perceives as improved airflow.
• Chlorothymol has a mild antiseptic action in the upper airway.
• A drug-free alternative or adjunct for patients who cannot take oral decongestants because of hypertension or cardiac disease.

Not everyone gets these. Most are mild and settle as the course finishes.

• For inhalation only. Never swallow the capsule. Camphor is toxic if ingested and can cause seizures, particularly in children.
• Keep strictly out of reach of children. Accidental ingestion is a medical emergency requiring immediate attention.
• Do not use in infants and young children, or apply camphor-containing preparations to a child's face or nostrils — this can cause laryngospasm.
• Avoid in asthma and in reactive airway disease, where the vapour can provoke bronchospasm.
• Steam inhalation carries a real risk of scalding. Never let a child inhale unsupervised, and keep the bowl on a stable surface.
• Do not apply the contents directly to the skin or into the nostrils.
• Symptomatic relief only — this does not treat infection. Reassess if symptoms persist beyond a week or fever develops.
• Use in pregnancy and breastfeeding only on medical advice.
