Treatment
• An application with the Medinose Plus appliance only lasts approx. 4 minutes.
During this time, the LEDs radiate red light having a wavelength of approx.
660 nm and a defined intensity.
• The automatic shut-off ensures that the duration of treatment always
remains the same and prevents the nasal mucosa from being overloaded.
• The Medinose Plus should be used three times a day at the beginning of
treatment. The frequency of application may be reduced when symptoms
have been alleviated.
• Treatment should be spread over the course of a day. The first application
should be carried out either before or after breakfast and the last in the
evening before going to bed whilst the third application can be carried out
during the day simply by taking the appliance with you and using it when the
opportunity arises. The practical belt clip

on the back of the unit makes
it easy to wear.
NOTE
The applications should be continued for at least one week and
preferably two to achieve the desired treatment result.
Your Medinose Plus appliance may be used not only in the acute phase of the
ill-ness but also as a preventive measure. You will most likely know the period
during which your allergy starts or the type of pollen that causes it.
Begin prophylactic treatment a good week before the pollen that triggers your
allergy is forecast. Even at this stage you should carry out an application two to
three times a day depending on the severity of your allergy.
The red light used for phototherapy with Medinose Plus has no negative
effects on the nasal mucosa. Even with therapy continued over a longish period,
there is no fear of any structural impairment of the tissue when no more than
three applications per day are administered. If your doctor suggests medical
treatment due to the severity of your allergy, it may be combined with photo-
therapy without hesitation. There are no known interactions with anti-aller-
genic drugs such as antihistamines or corticosteroids.
