Man Flu

Creative idea

In Romania, men tend to struggle more with colds compared to women. When a man catches a cold or gets the flu, it feels like the whole world stops. He's dying like Jesus in La Pietà. He complains about every symptom and requires special care. Women typically handle the illness more stoically, often taking care of both themselves and the man when they get sick at the same time. Bixtonim clears stuffy noses in both men and women during colds and flu, acts quickly, and provides long-lasting relief from nasal congestion.
