Nosebleeds (epistaxis) are common and often happen when the inside of the nose is dry or irritated — for example during colds, allergies, frequent nose blowing, or dry indoor air. This category is designed to help you shop nose bleed care products that support gentle nasal hygiene and everyday comfort, while keeping safety front-of-mind.
This page currently includes NeilMed saline sinus rinse options (including rinse refill packets and a starter kit, which may be unavailable at times). Saline rinses are commonly used to cleanse the nasal passages and support moisture and comfort as part of a routine. Always read the label and follow preparation and cleaning instructions carefully. If nosebleeds are frequent, heavy, or you’re concerned — especially after an injury or if you take blood-thinning medicines — seek advice from a pharmacist or GP.

Are saline sinus rinses a cure for nosebleeds?
No. Saline rinses are not a cure and may not be suitable for every situation, but they are commonly used to support nasal hygiene and comfort when the nose feels dry or irritated. Always follow the label directions.
How do I choose between a starter kit and refill packets?
If you don’t already have a compatible rinse bottle, a starter kit is usually the best place to start. If you already have the device, refill packets are designed for continued use.
What’s the safest first aid approach at home?
Sit down and lean forward (not back), breathe through your mouth, and pinch the soft part of your nose firmly for 10–15 minutes. Avoid checking too soon. If bleeding continues, seek medical advice.
When should I get urgent help for a nosebleed?
Seek urgent help if bleeding is heavy, lasts longer than 20 minutes despite firm pressure, follows a head or facial injury, you feel faint or dizzy, you have trouble breathing, or you’re swallowing a lot of blood. Get urgent advice if you take blood-thinning medicines or nosebleeds are frequent or worsening.
Are these products suitable for children?
Some nasal care products may be suitable for older children, but always check age guidance and directions on the pack. If you’re unsure what’s appropriate, ask a pharmacist.
