FAQs

Can I use Otrivine Allergy Relief 0.1% Nasal Spray for my 10-year-old child?

No, this nasal spray is not suitable for children under 12 years old. Please consult a doctor or pharmacist for appropriate treatment options for younger children.

How long can I use this nasal spray?

You should not use this spray for more than 7 days in a row. If your symptoms persist or worsen, consult your doctor or pharmacist.

What should I do if I accidentally use too much?

If you use more than the recommended dose, seek immediate medical attention and consult your doctor or pharmacist. Do not exceed the stated dose.

Can I use this spray if I have high blood pressure?

It is important to consult your doctor or pharmacist before using this spray if you have any underlying medical conditions, including high blood pressure, or if you are taking other medications.

How does this spray provide relief?

The spray contains xylometazoline hydrochloride, which works by narrowing the blood vessels in the nose. This reduces swelling and congestion, helping to clear the nasal passages.

What is the difference between allergy relief and a cold remedy nasal spray?

While both can relieve congestion, allergy relief sprays are specifically formulated to combat nasal inflammation caused by allergens like pollen, whereas cold remedy sprays primarily target viral-induced congestion. This product is indicated for both allergic rhinitis and nasal congestion from colds.

How should I store the nasal spray?

Store the spray in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat. Ensure it is kept out of the reach of children.

Troubleshooting

Nasal spray not dispensing product

Ensure the nozzle is clear. If blocked, try to clear it gently with a soft, dry cloth. If the pump mechanism seems stuck, try priming it by spraying it a few times into the air.

No relief from nasal congestion

Ensure the spray was administered correctly into the nostril. Check if the product has expired. If symptoms persist after consistent use as directed, consult a doctor or pharmacist.

Irritation or stinging sensation

This can be a side effect for some users. Try to administer the spray gently and ensure you are not using an excessive dose. If irritation is severe or persistent, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.
