iNova Pharmaceuticals Launches Rinar®: A Treatment for Non-allergic Rhinitis

30 November 2011

Rinar®, a capsaicin nasal spray for the treatment of Non-allergic Rhinitis (NAR) was recently launched in Australia by iNova Pharmaceuticals. Non-allergic Rhinitis, a relatively unknown condition, is irritation of the nose not caused by allergies or illness. Rinar® offers Non-allergic Rhinitis sufferers new hope for the relief of symptoms.

People suffering Non-Allergic Rhinitis may have previously tried many types of treatments, including allergy and nasal medications, with little to no relief. Symptoms of Non-Allergic Rhinitis are similar to hayfever (allergic rhinitis) including a blocked and stuffy nose, facial pain, sneezing, runny nose and/or post nasal drip, impaired sleep / fatigue. However, the triggers are different. Triggers of Non-Allergic Rhinitis include temperature changes / air conditioning, perfume, smoke and cleaning product fumes.

Rinar® contains low strength capsaicin, a natural substance found in peppers and capsicum. It works by desensitising the nose to the triggers of Non-Allergic Rhinitis so the symptoms are prevented.

Used for 3 times per day for 3 days, Rinar® is clinically proven to provide 4 weeks relief from Non-allergic Rhinitis symptoms.1 Rinar® is available in pharmacies without a prescription.

To find out if you have Non-allergic Rhinitis and could benefit from Rinar® please visit www.rinar.com.au or speak to your Pharmacist. Stockists are listed on the Rinar website.

Always read the label. Use only as directed. If symptoms persist see your healthcare professional.
