Nitric Oxide(NO) - NO kills Virus

SaNOtize has developed a proprietary method to effectively deliver Nitric Oxide to the site of an infection. Nitric oxide (NO) has been shown to be effective as an antiviral, antibacterial, anti fungal, and also enhances wound healing. The historical challenge has been how to deliver NO effectively since it is a gas molecule. The company has successfully solved the delivery issue, and now has a true platform technology for upper respiratory and topical dermal infections. The pharmacology, toxicity, and safety data for NO in humans is well established. The NO produced from NORSTM is an identical molecule to nitric oxide naturally produced by the human body, and to the nitric oxide that has a drug approval by the FDA for the treatment of premature infants with acute pulmonary hypertension. There is no biochemical, pharmacokinetic or physical difference between them.

WHAT IS VIRX NASAL SPRAY?

VirX is a Nitric Oxide Nasal Spray that releases a small dose of nitric oxide that blocks viruses, reduces risk and kills 99.9% of airborne virus* within 2 mins in the upper airways. VirX is intended to use as a protective mechanical barrier against viruses within the nasal cavity. It is suggested to use whenever you have to go to a high-risk area (confined, crowded places or places with poor air ventilation).

WHAT TYPE OF CONTAMINANTS AND VIRUSES IS VIRX SPRAY EFFECTIVE AGAINST?

The design of VirX Nasal Spray as a proetective mechanical barrier makes it effective to use against various types of
viruses and contaminants (bacteria, dust, foreign particles) present on the nasal mucosa.

IS VIRX ALSO EFFECTIVE ON VIRUS VARIANTS ?

VirX is designed to work mechanically by providing a physical and chemical barrier, thus Virus variants and different types of viruses are equally impacted using VirX. In addition to its anti-coronavirus activity, VirX also acts against other respiratory viruses including H1N1, Human Rhinovirus (HRV)-14 (Common cold), and Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV).

HOW LONG IS THE PROTECTION PERIOD FOR EACH USE ?

VirX provides protection upto 8 hours.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE FOR VIRX TO START WORKING ?

VirX is proven effective to kill 99.9% of Virus within 2 minutes. The barrier is effective almost instantly after application. *Result shown in lab studies against viruses like SARS-CoV-2.
 *Result shown in lab studies against SARS-CoV-2 viruses.

HOW LONG CAN I USE VIRX NASAL SPRAY ?

VirX is intended to use as a protective mechanical barrier against viruses within the nasal cavity. It is advised to use 2-3 times daily or up to 6 times per day, to maintain an effective barrier against viruses. Do not use VirX for more than 30 days consecutively. If necessary, its suggested to take a break from using it for a few days before using it again. (Please refer to user instructions).

IS VIRX NASAL SPRAY TOXIC OR HARMFUL TO HEALTH ?

Nitric Oxide is a nano molecule that is produced naturally by our cells and it acts as a housekeeping molecule in our body. VirX (NONS) delivers a topical, small amount of NO. The amount of nitric oxide from NONS is not enough to be absorbed systemically (bioavailability is nil) nor inhaled during NONS administration. During clinical study, except mild nasal discomfort, there were no major side effects occurred with the use of Nitric Oxide Nasal Spray.

WHEN & WHERE SHOULD I USE VIRX NASAL SPRAY TO PROTECT MYSELF ?

VirX is intended to use as a protective mechanical barrier against viruses within the nasal cavity. Its suggested to use whenever you have to go to a high-risk area (confined, crowded places or places with poor air ventilation).

WHEN I USE VIRX , DO I STILL HAVE TO TAKE OTHER PREVENTIVE MEASURES SUCH AS WEARING A FACE MASK, USING HAND SANITIZER , GETTING VACCINATED, MAINTAINING SOCIAL DISTANCE Etc ?

Its is strongly suggested to use VirX along with continuing to practise other preventive measures such as wearing face masks, using hand sanitizer, getting vaccinated, practicing social distancing and so on. In the event of Infection, VirX may not prevent transmission.

CAN I USE VIRX WHILE USING OTHER TREATMENTS ?

Virx is not absorbed by the body, so it may be use with any other treatments. For best use, its suggested to avoid other nasal spray or similar treatments, for at least 30 minutes after use of VIRX.

I HAD A RUNNY NOSE AND SOME IRRITATION DURING FIRST USE OF VIRX DURING INITIAL FEW MINUTES , IS THIS NORMAL ?

VirX attracts hypotonic fluid from the nasal mucosa, which may trigger a runny nose or generate a slight temporary nasal irritation. This is normal and to be expected by design. Users are suggested to wipe off excess liquid from the nose gently with a clean tissue. Refrain from blowing nose after use.

WHO CAN USE VIRX ?

VirX can be used by anybody above the age of 12, who has no known hypersensitivity to any of the listed ingredients or excipients . In case of doubt it is advised to check with Physician before use. Pregnant or Lactating women, are also advised to check with Physician before use.

ARE THERE ANY CONTRAINDICATIONS TO USING VIRX ?

During clinical study there were no major side effects occurred with the use of Nitric Oxide Nasal Spray. Only a mild discomfort in the nose is experienced by few participants in clinical trials.

ARE THERE ANY PRECAUTIONS TO TAKE WHILE USING VIRX ?

To avoid contamination do not share Nitric Oxide Nasal Spray with other person. Avoid contact with eye. If the spray gets into your eyes, rinse with water.
