Nasal spraycan be an effective way to relieve congestion and sinus pressure, but a recentlyrecalled productmay end up causing problems rather than helping. The U.S. Food & Drug Administrationannounced a recallof MediNatura's ReBoost Nasal Spray over yeast, mold, and microbial contamination.
One of the bacteria found was Achromobacter, whichmay causefever, chills, lethargy, and various infections such as pneumonia, endocarditis, and meningitis. It is alsoknown forbeing resistant to antibiotics and may beparticularly dangerous—and even fatal—in immunocompromised individuals. If you believe you have any recalled product, do not use it.
The product is a homeopathic nasal spray used to help combat a slew of respiratory-related symptoms, from sinus congestion to nasal itching, per the FDA. Only a single lot of ReBoost 20 mL nasal spray products is being recalled and can be identified by the following:
Lot number: 224268
NDC number: 62795-4005-9

The nasal sprays were sold via retailers across the U.S. as well as through the company's website.
The FDA states that there "is a reasonable probability that adverse health consequences, including life-threatening infections, will occur with use of the product in the immunocompromised population." At the time of publication, no reports of adverse events related to the recall have occurred.
If you have recalled product, again, do not use it. Instead, return it to the place of purchase for a refund. Anyone who purchased the nasal spray via the company's website should contactrecall@medinatura.comfor a refund.
