Lemsip Breathe Easy 5s Nasal Decongestant Strips

You can find relief from nasal congestion with these external nasal strips that help open your nasal passages naturally. Each pack contains 5 individual strips designed to provide temporary relief from stuffiness caused by colds, flu, or allergies. These breathe easy strips work mechanically by gently lifting the sides of your nose to widen the nasal passages.

The strips are suitable for adults and children over 5 years of age. You can use them during the day or night to help improve airflow through your nose. They are particularly helpful when you need nasal decongestant strips that don't contain medication, making them suitable for those who prefer drug-free options or need to avoid certain medicines.

How These Breathing Strips Work

The strips use a spring-like action to gently pull open your nasal passages from the outside. When you apply the strip across the bridge of your nose, the flexible bands create an outward pulling force that helps lift the nasal walls. This mechanical action can increase the space in your nasal passages by up to 31%.

This external method works differently from medicated nasal sprays or drops. Instead of using active pharmaceutical ingredients, the strips rely on physical support to help you breathe more easily. You may find relief from congestion within minutes of application, and the effect lasts as long as you wear the strip.

Who Can Benefit from These Strips

These strips are suitable for you if you experience nasal congestion due to various causes. They can be particularly helpful during cold and flu season when blocked noses are common. You might also find them useful if you have temporary congestion from allergies or environmental factors.

The strips may be beneficial for:

• Adults and children over 5 years experiencing nasal congestion
• People who snore due to nasal blockage
• Those seeking drug-free congestion relief
• Individuals who cannot use medicated nasal products

Why Choose External Nasal Strips

External nasal strips offer several advantages over internal nasal treatments. They don't contain active medicines, which means you can use them alongside other treatments without drug interactions. You won't experience the rebound congestion that can occur with some medicated nasal sprays when used frequently.

The strips are also convenient for travel and can be used in situations where taking oral medication might not be practical. They provide localised relief exactly where you need it, and you can remove them at any time if needed.

Storage and Handling Instructions

You should store these strips in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep them in their original packaging until you're ready to use them to maintain their adhesive properties. The strips are for single use only and should not be reused.

Make sure your nose is clean and dry before applying the strip for optimal adhesion. Remove the strip gently to avoid skin irritation, and avoid using on broken or irritated skin.
