Smell Loss in Sinus Disease
The medical community often underestimates the impact of losing your sense of smell despite its major impact on patient's lives. Many patients who lose their sense of smell also lose their sense of taste. This is incredibly debilitating for them, robbing people of two of their five senses which are crucial for wellbeing. To help patients understand smell loss, Sanofi has launched an exciting new initiative - the production of a smell booklet, giving patients all the facts they need to understand smell loss in the context of having Nasal Polyp Syndrome or CRSwNP.
