Question
Posted on: September 19 2016Aqua Conservans in nasal drops, can this be used?
My colleague thought this would be toxic to the cilia, is this correct?
Answer
P class = "P1" > span class = "S1" > Ciliotoxicity or methyl-and propyl-P-hydroxybenzoates: A dose-response and surface-response study.

P class = "P3" > Abstract
P class = "P7" > span class = "S1" > The effect of methyl-p-hydroxybenzoate (methyl paraben, MHB) and Propyl-P-hydroxybenzoate (propyl paraben, PHB) on Ciliary beat frequency was investigated using surface-response methodology. Both compounds are shown to be ciliotoxic at concentrations equal to or lower than those in use for Pres erving aqueous formulations. The dose-response curves show the typical sigmoidal pattern. Interaction by the two compounds is evidenced by the curved response surface for ciliotoxicity.
P class = "P7" > span class = "S1" > You can best use isotone excipient for nasal drops a phosphate solution PH = 7 : NaH2PO4 0.22 G; Na2HPO4 0.36 G; NaCl 0.7 g; Benzalkonium chloride 0.01 g and water for injections up to 100 ml
