Home Care Advice - Decongestant Nasal Spray

Decongestant Nasal Spray

  • If chewing doesn't help after 1 or 2 hours, use a long-acting decongestant nasal spray. You can ask your pharmacist to recommend a brand.
  • Don't use more than 5 days. (Reason: rebound swelling)
  • An oral decongestant (e.g., pseudoephedrine) may help if the nasal spray is not available (See Dosage table). Do not use under age 2 years.
