Abstract
Objectives: The current study examined the effectiveness of Rhinapi, a hypertonic saline nasal spray with Anatolian propolis added, on allergic rhinitis (AR) symptoms in a European population. Methods: Four hundred and forty AR patients (251 males and 189 females) from various European centers were enrolled. Nasal examination, overall symptom scores, individual AR symptoms (nasal discharge, sneezing, nasal itching, and nasal obstruction), and quality of life (QoL) were assessed before and after 3 weeks of treatment with Rhinapi, the nasal spray made of hypertonic saline with Anatolian propolis added (Bee&You, Istanbul, Turkey). Results: Rhinapi nasal drop use was associated with a substantial decrease (P < .05) in AR symptom ratings, including nasal discharge, sneezing, nasal itching, and nasal obstruction. QoL scores showed a significant improvement (P < .05), and the spray also alleviated swelling and improved concha color (P < .05). Conclusion: Rhinapi, Anatolian propolis-added hypertonic saline nasal spray (Bee&You, Istanbul, Turkey), when used for 3 weeks, reduced AR symptom scores and improved QoL. Both the concha color and the edema were also enhanced.
