Xylitol Nasal Spray: Natural Defense Against Chronic Sinus Issues
Harness the power of natural sugar alcohol to protect, cleanse, and hydrate your sinuses—safely and effectively.
What Is Xylitol?
Xylitol is a naturally occurring sugar alcohol found in fruits, vegetables, and birch trees. While it’s most commonly known as a low-calorie sweetener, Xylitol has significant antimicrobial and anti-adhesive properties—making it a powerful ally in ear, nose, and throat (ENT) care when delivered via nasal spray.
In sinus health, Xylitol works by inhibiting bacteria from adhering to the nasal mucosa, disrupting biofilm formation, and keeping the environment clean and hydrated. For patients with chronic rhinosinusitis, recurring nasal infections, or post-surgical nasal dryness, compounded Xylitol sprays offer gentle yet highly effective support.
Why Compounded Xylitol for ENT?
Commercial saline sprays may offer temporary relief but often fail to address biofilm-forming bacteria that lead to persistent sinus issues. Compounded Xylitol formulations go a step further by providing:
- Anti-adhesive effects against pathogens like Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae
- Moisturizing support for dry nasal passages
- Prevention of bacterial reinfection
- Reduction of post-nasal drip and congestion
At King’s Pharmacy, we compound Xylitol nasal sprays and rinses that are:
- Buffered for nasal comfort
- Custom-concentrated based on prescriber recommendation (commonly 5–10%)
- Combined with saline, glutathione, or other agents for enhanced ENT support
- Sterile and preservative-free
Key Benefits of Xylitol Nasal Spray

Xylitol also stimulates the body’s natural defense mechanisms by increasing nitric oxide production and boosting innate immune response—making it ideal for patients who want to reduce dependence on antibiotics or steroids.
