Expert Advice

  • It works immediately, with each dose providing relief for up to 12 hours.
  • The correct way to use the nasal spray:
    • Shake the bottle before using the medication.
    • Clean your nose thoroughly before administration.
    • Insert the bottle tip into one nostril while closing the other nostril.
    • Direct the spray towards the sides of your nostril, avoiding the cartilage that divides the two sides of your nose.
    • Breathe out gently through your mouth and repeat the process for the other nostril.
    • Avoid deep breathing, as it may cause the medication to travel back to the throat, reducing its effectiveness.
    • Do not share the bottle with anyone else to prevent the spread of germs.
  • Oxymetazoline can worsen nasal congestion if used for more than 3 or 4 consecutive days (known as rebound congestion).
