Decongestant Nose Drops

• If you think you need a medicine for stuffy nose, try a nasal decongestant. Use only if the sinus is still blocked after nasal washes.
  • Decongestant nose drops (e.g., phenylephrine/Neo-Synephrine) are available over-the-counter. Clean out the nose before using. Spray each nostril once, wait one minute for absorption, and then spray a second time.
  • Do not take this medication if you have high blood pressure, heart disease or prostate enlargement.
  • Do not use this medication for more than 3 days (Reason: rebound nasal congestion).
  • Read and follow the package instructions carefully.
