You sure about that percentage? Normal saline is 0.9% and that is isotonic. 10% is extremely hypertonic.
Yep... Why I have no fucking idea...
The higher percentage seems to effect a better result in clearing the mucosal build up...this could be a personal thing though. Just like a 10% Apple Cider Vinegar Douche is great for minimising fungal infections of the vagina.again long term experience indicates it works and that is all I am concerned about.
0.9% you say?? Any wonder those OTC preparations are ineffective.
0.9% has nothing to do with OTC. 0.9% as I said is isotonic. IOW, it has the same tonicity as human blood so it neither forces water in or out through the cell membranes. Hypertonicity as in a 10% solution will draw water out of the blood cells and hypotonicity forces water inside. Both hyper and hypo are dangerous especially at a 10% tonicity.
