What NeilMed Pharmaceuticals does

NeilMed Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is a privately held, California-incorporated pharmaceutical and medical-device company founded in 2000 and headquartered at 5555 Mehta Drive, Santa Rosa, with a secondary office at 601 Aviation Blvd. The company designs, manufactures, and distributes saline-based nasal irrigation and adjacent consumer health products, with operations spanning the United States and 12 additional countries through the NeilMed Group of corporate entities (Sweden, Mexico, UK, Canada, India, Australia, Germany, Japan, Singapore, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Costa Rica). Headcount is reported at 501–1,000 employees.

The core technology is NeilMed's LVLP (Large Volume Low Pressure) saline nasal irrigation platform, which delivers 4–16 oz of volume rinse for thorough nasal passage lavage, contrasted with microspray alternatives that deliver only 0.5–5 mL. The product portfolio centers on the flagship Sinus Rinse squeeze-bottle system, the NasaFlo Neti Pot (gravity-based), and the SinuGator electric pulsating irrigator, supported by consumable isotonic and hypertonic saline premixed packets, NasoGel moisturizers, nasal saline sprays, decongestants, HydroMed hydration products, and aromatherapy. Adjacent product lines include ear care, babies & kids, first aid, piercing aftercare, and digestives & laxatives, plus the Smell Restore olfactory training kit.

NeilMed generates revenue through hardware sales of nasal irrigation devices and recurring consumable refill packets. Distribution is multi-channel: national retail through Costco, Walmart, Walgreens, CVS, Target, and Kroger; a direct-to-consumer e-commerce storefront at shop.neilmed.com with native iOS and Android apps; a global office network for international sales; and physician/pharmacist endorsements supported by an 'Ask a Doctor' Q&A platform and a medical-publication library. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. The company remains founder-controlled under CEO Ketan Mehta, with no external PE or VC ownership identified.
