Common Questions about Medinose
With any new treatment which promises to help a medical condition, it is important to get the facts about the product before purchase, and free from any advertising hype. These are answers to many of the questions I had myself before trying Medinose, and that many customers ask. The questions here are also answered across the website on various pages, but this page lists questions and answers in one place.
If you have any questions which are not answered on this website, feel free to contact me and I will try to help. (Please note I am not the manufacturer of Medinose (who is Medisana), and this is merely a customer resource site).

Answers
- Medinose is intended for treating pet allergies, hayfever, and dust (mite) allergies. It can also help or cure allergic asthma if it is due to a cat or dog allergy. Food allergies and skin allergies require a different treatment methods. Back to Questions
- Hayfever symptoms usually include a runny or congested nose, itchy eyes, a cough, sneezing and sometimes itching within the ears. Hayfever may also cause sleeping problems. Allergies to pet hair (or animal dander - from the cat or dog’s saliva) cause similar symptoms, and are often accompanied by a skin rash and asthma attacks may also be triggered in asthma sufferers. Dust is also a common trigger of allergic asthma, and a dust allergy sufferer generally displays symptoms of sneezing and coughing. Back to Questions
- Medinose is inserted into your nostrils and red light emitted from the two wands. This light desensitises your nasal passageways using phototherapy (natural light therapy). This slows down the allergic reaction you experience, lessening imflammation. It also decreases the production of histimines (so it works much the same way as antihistimines, but is longer lasting, like an immunisation might be). Back to Questions

- The manufacturer, Medisana, claims that there are absolutely no side-effects to using the Medinose, which was also shown during their clinical testing prior to release of Medinose. The phototherapy technique usually involves UV light exposure (in treating skin conditions in a clinic) which can cause problems associated with too much sun (sweating, headaches, etc) in very high doses. However, Medinose uses a natural red light only (and no UV light) therefore does not cause any ill effects. Personally, the only unusul feeling I felt during uses was a runny nose and a slightly warm feeling in the nostrils due to the glow of the light (different, but not uncomfortable). Back to Questions

- This varies between users, but some improvements may be felt from the first session of use (sessions last for around 4.5 minutes, and a couple of sessions a day are recommended). Some users may not feel any different for a week or more. Results can vary between no significant improvement and a user being completely cured (thankfully for me, I was in that latter group, and was allergy and asthma free after a couple of weeks’ use). In addition, some users will continue to use Medinose long-term, whilst others will see enough improvement that further uses beyond a point, are not needed. Back to Questions
- The Medinose Plus retails at £79.99 (sometimes £79.95) excluding delivery costs if online. The unit is an investment (if it works for you) but still too expensive compared to over the counter medications. Luckily I have found a website where you can buy a Medinose for a little over half price (£47.39) and this includes delivery. This is the cheapest price I’ve seen anywhere (and I’ve looked a lot). See the purchase page for further details.Back to Questions
- Medinose was the name of the original unit, which I understand has now been replaced with the “new, improved” Medinose Plus. This newer version has a more accurate measure for each session length and comes with a carry case. Back to Questions
- Unfortunately it looks as if Medinose is unavailable in the United States, or in countries other than the United Kingdom. I will try to find out if this is the case for sure, but for the time being it is only available online for UK based customers and for UK delivery. Back to Questions
- Yes, Medinose is stocked in many chemists. But I have yet to see the unit on sale in a supermarket or other shop (if you do see one on sale elsewhere, please let me know!). Back to Questions
