I am having symptoms from a cold? Does Arrezt™ products still work?
I am tested positive for Covid, but I am asymptomatic, do your products help?
Yes definitely. Arrezt® Nasal Oral Spray and Arrezt® Gargle can help to quicken your recovery through the antiseptic action of Povidone Iodine, the active ingredient in our products, which kills viruses, bacteria and fungi found in your nose, mouth and throat.
Frequent use of Arrezt® Nasal Oral Spray and Arrezt® Gargle helps to lower the pathogen load in your upper respiratory tract which is key to a quicker recovery. This helps to prevent the spread of infection to deeper organs such as the brain and lungs causing a prolonged and more serious sickness. Being a broad spectrum antiseptic, it will prevent co-infection and secondary infection. In addition, it will reduce the risk of you spreading your infectious germs to the people around you such as your family members, friends or colleagues.
Use Arrezt® Nasal Oral Spray: Spray only into your nose every 1 hour as needed.
Use Arrezt® Gargle: Gargle every 1 hour as needed.

I am a healthy individual. Could I use your products?
Yes, Arrezt® Nasal Oral Spray and Arrezt® Gargle can be used by anyone, at any time. Daily use provides you with daily protection from possible infections.
7. How long does it take for Arrezt® Nasal Oral Spray to start killing the infectious pathogens in my upper respiratory tract?
As Arrezt® products contain Povidone Iodine (PVP-I), vivo studies show it takes about 15-30 seconds for PVP-I to kill the bacteria, viruses and fungi.
8. I do get nasal mucus discharge after using Arrezt® Nasal Oral Spray to spray into my nose. Is this normal?
Yes. The combination of Povidone Iodine, Zemea, potassium iodide and xylitol, induces nasal mucus in some people. Mucus, which contains mucins, serves as an essential barrier in the upper respiratory tract against pathogens, protecting you from infection. So, it is normal to get some mucus. In fact, it is a good thing to happen.
9. Why are Arrezt® products more expensive than others on the market?
We use quality ingredients such as medical grade and organic non-GMO ingredients. We do not use ingredients such as glycerin, Polysorbates (sorbitol), PEGs and propylene glycol (PG) commonly found in oral and nasal products. We use the best ingredients that we ourselves would feel safe using it.
10. I have checked there are no Nasal Oral Spray in the market.
Is Arrezt® Nasal Oral Spray the only one on the market with both nasal and oral application?
Is Arrezt® Nasal Oral Spray the only one on the market with both nasal and oral application?
Yes. The 2-in-1 function of Arrezt® Nasal Oral Spray is the only broad spectrum antiseptic spray for both the nose and throat in the market. Other brands only have sprays that targets either the nose or throat, not both. Arrezt® Nasal Oral Spray is designed for you to carry it with you and use it on the go.
11. There are so many brands of nasal sprays and oral sprays in the market these days. How do I go about choosing one? What is so special about Arrezt® Nasal Oral Spray? How is it different from the rest?
Infectious viruses, bacteria and fungi, from aerosols and from contaminated touch surfaces, enter your nose and mouth to infect your upper respiratory tract. Viruses are not alone in causing infections. Bacteria and fungi are just as frequent.
Most nasal sprays in the market are not broad spectrum antiseptics. These products often target at inactivating or creating a barrier to viruses but not bacteria or fungi. These nasal sprays do not kill infectious pathogens. Other nasal sprays are irrigating sprays that caused live viruses to be flushed out which means the chances of contact spread is higher. On the other hand, oral sprays found in the market are usually for sore throat.
Arrezt® Nasal Oral Spray is for both nose and throat. The 2-in-1 function of Arrezt® Nasal Oral Spray contains a broad spectrum antiseptic Povidone Iodine (PVP-I) that targets both nose and throat in one single applicator. It kills not only viruses, but bacteria and fungi as well. It is designed to minimize your risk from getting infected from a myriad of infectious pathogens, as well from co-infection and secondary infection. With a reduced pathogen load in your nose and throat, there is less likely a chance of transmitting to the people around you.
12. There are so many antiseptic gargles in the market these days. How do I go about choosing one? What is so special about Arrezt® Gargle? How is it different from the rest?
Most gargles in the market are targeting either sore throat or bad breath and dental health.
Arrezt® Gargle is different. It does both and more. It not only helps quickens recovery from infection and soothes symptoms like a sore throat, but more importantly it reduces the chance of you getting an infection, co-infection and secondary infection from viruses, bacteria and fungi. Furthermore, it minimizes the risk of spread of infectious germs to the people around you and your loved ones.
Lastly, it helps with oral thrush and prevents tooth decay and gum disease because of our unique formula that includes Povidone Iodine, xylitol, and Zemea.
