Afrin Saline Daily Care Nasal Mist

Afrin is a well-known brand of nasal decongestants and saline solutions originally developed in the mid-20th century. The brand has transitioned through several pharmaceutical giants over decades, becoming a staple in over-the-counter respiratory care. The Saline Daily Care variant is a drug-free alternative designed for daily nasal hygiene.

Historically, Afrin was a product of Schering-Plough, a major American pharmaceutical company. Following a series of mergers and acquisitions in the healthcare industry, the brand was acquired by Bayer AG as part of its purchase of Merck & Co.'s consumer care business in 2014. Today, Bayer manages the brand globally, integrating it into its extensive portfolio of consumer health products.

Manufacturing for Afrin products occurs in multiple locations. While Bayer has significant production facilities in Germany and the United States, specific manufacturing for various regions is localized to optimize supply chains and meet regulatory standards in different markets. In North America, much of the production and distribution is handled through Bayer's consumer health division headquartered in New Jersey.
