Abstract
Background. To investigate the efficiency, safety of inert cellulose powder in allergic rhinitis, and influence
on mucous tunic of nasal cavity.
Materials and methods. Two groups of patients were examined in this research (30 healthy volunteers and
30 patients suffering from allergic rhinitis). The following factors of patients' life and health condition were
evaluated during the investigation: quality of life, the condition of mucous tunic, mucociliary clearance rate,
the ciliabeat frequency of ciliated cylindrical epithelium, the signs of inflammation in the smears of mucous
tunic before and after the treatment with Nazaval and Nazaval Plus.
The results. Nazaval and Nazaval Plus improved the quality of life index and reduced the inflammation signs
of mucous tunic of nasal cavity examined by rhinoscopy and endoscopy. No ciliotoxic effects of preparations
on mucous tunic were established.
Conclusion. The inert cellulose powder is a highly effective and safe product for the treatment of allergic
rhinitis.
