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.
    • 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
