Otrivin Oxy Adult Nasal Spray 0.05% (10ml)
Otrivin Oxy Adult Nasal spray 0.05% (10ml) is indicated to provide relief from a blocked nose caused by the common cold, hay fever, sinusitis, or other allergic rhinitis.
It contains the active component Xylometazoline hydrochloride, a nasal decongestant, which quickly relieves a stuffy nose and helps clear the nasal cavity by reducing excessive nasal secretions. It is a prescription treatment for adults and adolescents twelve years of age and over.
Instructions to use Otrivin Oxy Adult spray 0.05%:
To release a fine spray, Otrivin nasal spray should be held upright with the tip of the bottle pointing upwards. Be cautious when using the spray; avoid spraying it directly into your eyes. Before spraying the nasal formulation, make sure your nose is clean. Lean slightly forward while inserting the tip of the bottle into the nostril. Gently squeeze the bottle in the centre to spray and breathe in at the same time. Remove the tip of the bottle from the nostril before releasing the pressure back onto the bottle. Repeat the steps for the other nostril. Clean and dry the tip of the bottle before placing the cap back after use. To prevent the possible spread of infection, Otrivin spray should be used only by one individual.
Things to keep in mind while using Xylometazoline nasal spray
The nasal spray is not recommended for use in children aged 6 to 11 years, unless advised to do so by a healthcare expert. Do not use Otrivin Oxy Adult Nasal Spray in children below twelve years of age. The use of Xylometazoline spray is contraindicated if you are allergic to Xylometazoline or any other ingredients in the medicine. Always check the ingredients to ensure you can use this medicine safely.
Do not use the nasal spray if you have had the pituitary gland removed by operation through the nose or have narrow-angle glaucoma (increased pressure in the eyes). Do not use the nasal spray if you have chronic nasal inflammation with very dry nasal passages or have undergone recent trans-nasal surgery (a tumour removal process that goes through the nasal passages into the skull).
Moreover, check with your healthcare expert before using Otrivin Oxy Adut Nasal Spray if you suffer from heart disease, overactive thyroid, diabetes mellitus, prostate disease, or phaeochromocytoma. Also, your healthcare specialist should be aware of your pregnancy status, whether you are breastfeeding or taking antidepressants.
Side effects
Side effects of Xylometazoline nasal spray
Most side effects associated with the use of Otrivin Oxy Adult Nasal Spray are minor and temporary. However, some adverse effects require medical attention. Like any other medication used to relieve a blocked nose, the nasal spray may cause dizziness, sleep disturbances, and tremors in sensitive patients. Contact your healthcare provider if such symptoms become troublesome. Like any other nasal decongestant, Otrivin Oxy Adult nose spray should not be used for more than a week. If signs of nasal congestion do not improve or worsen, seek immediate medical help. Prolonged or excessive use may contribute to a recurring or worsening stuffy nose.
If you develop a severe allergic reaction, discontinue treatment immediately and seek medical attention. Signs of an allergic reaction include an itchy, red rash with increased skin inflammation, difficulty swallowing due to facial, lip, and throat swelling, and trouble speaking or breathing. Discontinue using the nasal spray and contact your healthcare provider if you develop sudden, severe headaches, visual disturbances, nausea and vomiting. These signs could be an indication of a rare but serious side effect.
Common side effects include headache, nasal dryness, nausea, nasal discomfort, and burning at the application site. Inform your healthcare specialist if you develop any other symptoms that make you feel unwell.
