DO NOT BUY!
this product is no longer sterile and cannot be safely used.

Today I opened the first package after getting your notice to review. I noted that one of the unopened vials was partially filled and I suspected that it was a manufacturing fluke until I squeezed it and found it had no flat round sealing top. I then looked at the others in the box and one other vial had no little round sealing top. When I get to the other packages I will decide whether to reorder based on the number of completely sealed vials. I am sure the product in the completely sealed vials is excellent.

I’ve ordered both 3% and 7% hypertonic saline solutions for nebulizer use from Amazon and directly from Base Laboratories.
My most recent 7% order from Base is labeled only as “Saline Solution.” Previous orders (also from Base via Amazon) were labeled “Sterile Hypertonic Saline Solution 7%” on both the box and vials. I’ve also noticed that the ingredient list on the vials has changed and now matches the updated box labeling. Both versions still state they are for inhalation use, with a nebulizer shown on the packaging.
I’ve noticed a similar label and ingredient change with 3% saline purchased from Amazon in the past, though I not purchase that particular item from you.
As someone using this to help manage NTM, I understand the importance of sterile hypertonic saline—specifically the 7% concentration—for breaking down bacterial biofilms in the lungs. I also understand that “sterile hypertonic saline” refers to a high-concentration sodium chloride solution that is microbe-free and safe for medical use.
Could you please confirm:
Are the current 3% and 7% products still sterile hypertonic saline intended for inhalation via nebulizer?
Was there any change to formulation, excipients, sterilization method, or regulatory classification—or was this purely a labeling change?
Please provide documentation verifying sterility and concentration for these products/lots (e.g., COA, sterility testing, USP compliance).
If labeling terminology changed, why was “sterile hypertonic” removed?
If you’re not the right team to answer, please forward this to the appropriate department (QA/Regulatory) and copy me.
Bonnie K.
Hi—recent orders of your 7% saline no longer say ‘sterile hypertonic’ on the box or vial. Ingredients also changed to match the new label. Can you confirm if the formulation is still the same sterile hypertonic saline used for nebulizers? Thank you!
I’m using this to help manage NTM, so it’s essential that I use sterile hypertonic saline—specifically the 7% concentration.

I did not realize this order was NOT sterile and therefore cannot use them.

Good product. Took too long to arrive after order placed.
Jingyan X.
Have not received it now. same day order and one received but this one is still on the way.
Rose L.
Vials don't have to be pulled apart and the tops are easy to twist off. The 7% solution is not too harsh, but I do wish you offered a 3.5% or a 5% to rotate with the 7%. I had asked Amazon to start carrying your product, but then I found your site and was able to order direct from you with the same quality of delivery service.
Linda G.
Very good service and product. Extremely helpful when a mistake was made in ordering.
Michael B.
Works great...my dog is breathing a little easier
SAMUEL J.
Good quality saline! It works fine for my application!
JESSICA M.

Jill L.
Hypertonic solution was as advertised.
Kathleen T.
The item you show on this email is not what I received but it is what I ordered. I have been in contact with customer service and they said all packaging of Sterile Hypertonic Saline Solution has been corrected. It is the item I ordered but not the item I received. I received plain Saline Solution. I will never order from your company again. You post pictures of the item but send something else. Your website descriptions are misleading and a way for your company to get rid of an item that probably doesn't sell. Disturbing to say the least.
Shirley P.
I thought it was hypertonic saline solution. The saline I have is irritating to my lungs.
Marina K.
The order came relatively fast, and I was able to use the saline with my Nebulizer. Feel much -much better. Thank you!
Laura H.
I thought I ordered .9%, but when I saw the confirmation email, I emailed immediately. I was told to wait for it to be delivered and let Base know and they would send me a return label. I let them know, but I am still waiting for the return label.
Freda R.
Thank you ever so much for making your product available via mail service. I appreciate how easy it is to open each vile.
Karen S.
It fulfills it's purpose.
Carley R.
It came on time, customer service was great and I plan on buying more. Amazon no longer sells it - odd. I’ve been buying it for at least 2 years - oh well, I’ll just buy it here.

Kathleen T.
I contacted Customer Service regarding my order. I sent them pictures of what I received which was not what I order or what you have pictured here. I ordered the Sterile Hypertonic Saline Solution but instead received plain Saline Solution.
Ruby N.
received late but i am happy with my purchase
Angela S.
Exactly what we needed!
Jose K.
The solution works amazingly. This is the first time I order from Base and I will continue purchasing from them. The delivery time was perfect and the price is right (compared to other brands). I trully recommend it.
Patricia j.
Good service. Product seems great.
Geneva F.
Very effective in expelling deep seated, tough phlegm in my lungs. Within seconds, I am coughing the phlegm out.
I am amazed at how much more effective saline solution is compared to albuterol.
Agustina b.
My saline is coming on time. Thanks!
Karen S.
Base Labs was convenient and shipping was prompt. Price was competitive.
Geneva F.
Get good results., However promotes lots of coughing during procedure.
Kathleen T.
User friendly website, reasonable price, fast shipping. Product works well.
Kathleen T.
Easy to use website, fast shipping, great product
Agustina b.
Great product for my bronchioextasis!
Jannette C.
Great at helping to clear the phlegm in my lungs
Terese H.
Made in China. Not sure if quality control. Won’t buy again.
susan c.
I havent used the 7% saline. because I ordered the wrong one and want to return the 7% saline.
Tina S.
These vials for the nebulizer made a big difference in how much better my boyfriend felt. He works on the road and didn’t have time (too stubborn lol) for the dr. A friend suggested he purchase a nebulizer that he can use anytime and anywhere. We found these vials to go with the nebulizer and were very impressed by how much of a difference they made. The congestion started breaking up, and he could tell his sinuses and chest congestion were clearing up finally.
Stephanie B.
I never received my item. I reached out to customer service (twice)and never heard back from anyone.
Judith G.
My order went very smoothly.
Margo M.
Arrived on time, great tracking option.
D S.
I’ve done a lot a of reading on the various strengths, hyper, hypo, iso. But how they really work leaves me somewhat confused. I bought the Nebulizer and the saline for the mucus break up. The hyper may work better but there was one lung doctor’s review online which said he would never recommend 7%. He said the effect on your lungs is like putting salt on a snail. So that’s why research is very necessary. One one thing I do not like is that your product is made in China. I never saw this stated on any of your websites or reviews. I do not trust China so I do not know what other ingredients may be in the saline nor do I want to support China when they want to damage many countries. Most likely will not buy again due to that.
James O.
Had good experience with the company and happy with the product and I will order again when needed. Thank you
Anthony V.
At this time I can only provide first impressions since I recently started using 7% as an upgrade from the recommended 3%. My mucus accumulation has been thick and tenacious - an experience I am told many bronchiectasis (BE) patients have. The 7% works tolerably well and I plan to experiment with its practical application. It would be good to know how other BE patients have used the product. Ask me again in 6 months.
lillian s.
using the saline solution i can breath better i will continue to use t
Sandi K.
We are so happy with these two products and this company that makes them. They have great customer service, shipment notifications and especially great products. We use these 2 items in a nebulizer to remove viruses/germs when starting to not feel good or sinus/migraine starting. Stops it in its tracks or helps to promote healing if already sick. You can use a 3 to 1 or 4 to 1 ratio.
1 part food grade hydrogen peroxide and 4 parts sterile saline. Usually immediate relief even if a sinus infection.
Jerry M.
Easy to open and use. Well marked and safe.
Duane C.
Great product at a great price...couldnt be happier with the service too !
Lynn F.
Arrived promptly and in good shape.
Linda T.
It does help loosen chest congestion well.
Frank L.
The Hypertonic Saline really helps when I feel like I am getting out of breath. I put 2 ampules in the nebulizer and relax for half an hour. Usually feel much better after that.
Robert S.
Good product. Arrived fast
Noel M.
Need this product for lung condition. It seems to help.
Dennis T.
Good service and fair prices
TIM H.
Product was exactly as advertised
Porter White
I have sensitive sinuses, and this solution has been gentle and effective. I highly recommend it for anyone with similar concerns.
Aletha Mueller
Hypertonic Saline Solution is a game changer for my nasal congestion. It works quickly and effectively to clear my sinuses.
jacki j.
I will definitely be buying this product again. Works great in my nebulizer.
Zola Koch
This is one of those items that I keep on hand with my nebulizer in case I get a cold or something else. Excellent value and prompt delivery. I will purchase again if the necessity arises.
Joe
After utilizing this saline solution, I'll never use Albuterol again. It has a 7% concentration, which is ideal for inhalation therapy. 10/10 would recommend.
David Sanderlin
Clears the lungs, allowing for a productive cough with the right equipment.
Maxwell Dare
Excellent performance in my nebulizer. Without measuring anything, you can get the perfect nebulizer dosage every time. The vials are easily ripped.
Anne Gutkowski
This is what I use in my nebulizer, and it works perfectly. Is a lifesaver for me throughout the fall and winter months when I can't breathe properly and my lungs feel like they're full with fluid.
Techie
I bought this to use in a nebulizer to (hopefully) prevent sore throats caused by dry air. I only used one small bottle and did not go any farther. I could taste the salt when I used it (it's a saline solution, so that wasn't surprising), but it actually made me cough more. I'm not sure what I could change, as this is the same fundamental product sold by several manufacturers. Maybe I should mix it with a little distilled water to dilute it? I'm not blaming the vendor or the manufacturer.
Vivienne Vandervort
Saline is, indeed, saline. I used to bring it in a large bottle since I didn't like the notion of all the plastic garbage, but I ended up losing a lot of saline because you can't store it open for long. This is the ideal dose for inhalation. It worked great in my tiny sinusitis vaporiser.
I'd be happy, but I wish there was a more environmentally responsible choice.
Dillon Schmitt
I love the convenience of this solution. It's easy to use and provides fast and effective relief from my sinus symptoms.
Elmo Mueller
A reliable colleague recommended this small nebulizer to help with Covid recovery, and it did not disappoint! It's a sturdy small machine that's simple to set up and use, and all of the parts are simple to clean. The dose rate is simple to change. It's a little powerhouse, so it's a little noisier than we expected, but not at all uncomfortable.
Cooper Howe
I highly recommend this product for anyone with chronic sinus issues. It has made a noticeable difference in my symptoms.
Ofelia Cummerata
This Hypertonic Saline Solution is a must-have for anyone with nasal congestion. It works fast and provides long-lasting relief.
Alek Labadie
The vials are the perfect size. I tested it with two different nebulizers and it works like a charm for mucus. Highly recommended.
Kian Bailey III
I have been using 7% Hypertonic Saline Solution for several months now and I am extremely impressed with its effectiveness. My sinuses feel clearer and healthier than ever before.
Fanny Kuphal
Thank you for producing a high-quality product. The last solution I received from another provider was harsh and difficult to use. Your product is wonderful and does not cause irritation to the lungs. I sometimes use it twice a day and will be getting more.
Teresa Nolan Sr.
This is the only saline solution that I trust for my baby's stuffy nose. It's gentle and effective, and I feel confident using it on my little one.
Tia Sporer
This medicine has helped me clean my airways and stop that dreadful furred-up, asthmatic sensation in my lungs and bronchial tubes. I believe the pack represents good value. Happily, I don't experience many asthma attacks right now, probably because I know I have trustworthy and helpful treatment. The saline solution is easy and effective for me.
Christine Keeling
Long-term care. Three inhalers and a nebuliser are provided. This nebuliser aids in the opening of airways and is reasonably priced.
Delores White
This solution is a lifesaver for anyone with sinus problems. It provides fast and effective relief, and it's affordable and easy to use.
Elinor Stracke
I love using this solution after a hard workout. It helps me to breathe better and recover faster.
Kristoffer Nitzsche
Excellent saline solution that performed admirably in my little personal nebulizer. Assisted in breaking up mucous with a sinus infection!
Stephanie Kassulke
I am so glad I found this product. It has made a noticeable difference in my overall respiratory health.
Venus22
I was really surprised by the product, because you'd expect any saline solution to give you a headache and a foul stink. Certainly not with this one! It was quite simple to apply, and it smelled fantastic. I need these solutions because I own a medical business and need to keep up on supplies; I will definitely buy saline solutions from you guys again!!!
Grayson Brekke
When you're not used to inhaling salt, this product tastes significantly different. I was able to cough up the large pieces of mucous I couldn't do on my own after approximately 10 minutes of breathing this via my nose and mouth with numerous deep breaths! This is fantastic, and I wholeheartedly suggest it! I had pneumonia for over two months! It was nearly finished, but I still had a lot of things in my chest that this helped me get go of. I combined this with the chest cleaning pills and vitamins. This is fantastic because the benefits are immediate. DEF was impressed.
Dixie O'Keefe
For usage with my colleague's nebuliser. It's simple to use, well-packaged, and relieves tense chest muscles.
Divesh
This, I believe, aided us in making the transition to better. After breathing treatment, the cough improved.
Wanda Barton IV
My husband has cystic fibrosis and has a prescription for medication, but the insurance company cuts it so close to filling it that he'll run out for a day or two before we can obtain it. That is not conducive to his lungs remaining clear. It's a blessing to be able to buy this material as a month's supply or to have it on hand just in case!! This is quite effective at clearing thick mucus from the lungs!
Madonna Schoen
I have tried many different saline solutions, and this one is by far the best. It has a stronger solution, which means it works faster and more effectively.
Deondre Brakus
I would recommend these to anyone who has trouble breathing; I felt better after the first one.
Marlene Morissette
These work great with a small portable and large nebulizer that my family uses when they have a cold and are short of breath. The vials are just as effective as the ones provided by her doctor. It was simple to remove the covers and fill her machine.
The product's quality is excellent, and it has a long expiry date of the first quarter of 2025.
Without a doubt, I recommend it.
Kyra Dickens PhD
It's perfect for taking in between my normal nebulized Albuterol treatments. It relieves mild brochial irritation and allows me to utilize the least amount of my prescription medication. Works well on its own or as a diluent. It's a pleasure to have you around.
Angelina Lopez
This is quite helpful for my asthma before night and when I wake up. My lungs are cleared before and after each day when I use this product together with a travel-size nebulizer. They are incredibly simple to use and come in little portions for traveling. A little salty taste, and it feels cool in the throat.
