Advantages: none

Disadvantages: expensive and pointless

I worked in a Pharmacy and as a result I was in contact with many a snottybeaked customer. I had an important singing gig coming up in the calander and was fearful of catching a cold and missing out.

This had just come on to the market. I was really excited about it and fancied trying it. I stupidly paid the £7 (minus discount mind you) Administering it was horrendous! I sprayed the first spray up the nostril and it felt like somebody rammed a sharp pencil up my nose! Yaaaaaaa!

I never did the other side and never used it again! That said I never caught the cold that was going its rounds that time and I truly think these things work more on the basis of belief than ought else.

We live in such a sanitised world and this is a great selling gimmick to fearful people...

a healthy lifestyle is a better prevention against colds and flu's. I really cannot justify wasting money on this product!

However, if it works for you then great!

Summary: marketed towards customers who are fearful of germs
