Hartig Drug Adds Nefense Nasal Care Line in Three States

Hartig Drug Company, a family-owned pharmacy and retail chain based in Dubuque, Iowa, has expanded its product lineup by adding Nefense® nasal care products at select locations in Iowa, Illinois, and Wisconsin. This move offers customers new drug-free options for daily nasal hygiene, catering to a growing demand for non-medicated alternatives. The Nefense lineup features hypochlorous acid nasal sprays for adults, children, and infants, plus a xylitol spray, providing non-medicated alternatives to decongestants across age groups. These products are now available at participating Hartig Drug stores, giving shoppers access to innovative nasal wellness solutions.

Founded in 1904, Hartig Drug Company has a long history of serving communities with personalized pharmacy services and health products. By partnering with Nefense, a Dubuque-based nasal wellness company, Hartig Drug reinforces its commitment to offering diverse health solutions. Nefense, developed under the direction of Richard Downs, DDS, focuses on daily nasal hygiene and airway care with products like HypoNasal, HypoNasal Junior, HypoBaby, and XyloClean. Published randomized clinical research evaluates low-concentration hypochlorous acid nasal irrigation for chronic sinonasal symptoms and allergic rhinitis, although these studies do not test Nefense-branded products.

As consumers increasingly seek alternatives to traditional medications, this partnership positions both companies at the forefront of the nasal care market, potentially influencing other retailers to follow suit.
