Sinupret Forte
Sinupret Forte® is recommended for the treatment of acute and chronic sinusitis, sinus pain and mild upper respiratory tract infections. This includes headache, blocked nose and pressure over the affected sinuses.
Sinupret was developed by herbalists early in the last century and has been used extensively by naturopaths and doctors worldwide for 77 years. Sinupret Forte contains a combination of 5 herbs: Gentiana lutea (Gentian), Primula veris (Primrose), Rumex crispus L. (Yellow dock), Sambucus nigra (Elder flower) and Verbena officinalis (Vervain).
Sinupret Forte is one of the most widely prescribed herbal medicines in the world1 and was ranked as the #1 most prescribed phytotherapeutic agent used for coughs and colds in Germany in 2006, 2007 and 2008.2
Importantly, Sinupret Forte has the backing of 3 decades of clinical research, proving Sinupret Forte to be effective in acute and chronic sinusitis. The research demonstrated that Sinupret Forte reduced symptoms and also improved radiological findings (x-rays) showing the clearing of the sinuses.
