In this season of colds, coughs and sniffles, parents across the country may be looking for a safe, natural alternative to dosing their young children with over-the-counter medications. Fortunately, the answer is readily available - OCEAN(R) For Kids Nasal Spray.

"OCEAN(R) Nasal Spray was the first saline nasal spray available on the market when it was introduced nearly a half century ago," states Phill Dritsas, president of St. Louis-based Fleming & Company Pharmaceuticals, the maker of OCEAN(R). "Generations of parents have passed down their 'helpful child-rearing hint' of relieving colds with OCEAN(R). OCEAN(R) today remains the saline nasal spray recommended most by doctors."

OCEAN(R) For Kids Nasal Spray is non-medicated, does not contain alcohol and may be used as often as needed. It is specially formulated for newborns and children up to 12 years old. There are no known side effects when used as directed.

The ingredients in OCEAN(R) For Kids Nasal Spray provide young cold sufferers with instant soothing relief to irritated nasal passages. OCEAN(R) For Kids is available at most drugstores, including A&P Supermarkets, Brooks/Eckerd Drugs, CVS, Jewel/Osco, Longs Drugs, Meijers, Pathmark, Rite- Aid, Safeway and Stop-n-Shop Super Markets.
