SCHWABE Alpha-NC (Nasal Congestion)

Nasal congestion is a symptom common to many diseases like allergic disorders, rhinitis, influenza, a simple cold or environment-related pollution, or infection of the upper respiratory tract.

Relief from nasal congestion can be obtained independent of the different phases of cure of the disease related to it.
