The Nasodine Story

Nasodine® Nasal Spray is the product of more than 10 years of pharmaceutical R&D by Firebrick Pharma Ltd, an innovative Australian biopharmaceutical company.

Nasodine Nasal Spray has been assessed in multiple independently-controlled human clinical trials. These trials show that Nasodine Nasal Spray is safe to use as recommended and support its effective use in a range of clinical settings.

Nasodine Nasal Spray is backed by a growing list of peer-reviewed publications that are publicly available for review (see below).

Firebrick Pharma owns multiple international patents on Nasodine Nasal Spray. The Nasodine® trademark is an internationally registered trademark owned by Firebrick Pharma.

In January 2026, Firebrick introduced in Singapore the first new addition to the Nasodine range: Nasodine Throat Spray, a 1% povidone-iodine formulation specifically designed for killing germs in the throat.
