What is Otrivine Nasal Spray Used For?

Otrivine Nasal Spray is used to relieve nasal congestion caused by colds, hay fever, sinusitis, and allergic rhinitis. It works by shrinking the swollen blood vessels in the nose, helping to unblock the nasal passages and ease breathing.

Who is Otrivine Suitable For?

Otrivine is suitable for adults and children over 12 years of age who need quick relief from a blocked or stuffy nose.

Do not use Otrivine if you:

  • Are allergic to xylometazoline or any of the ingredients listed
  • Have had recent brain or head surgery
  • Have narrow-angle glaucoma
  • Have chronic nasal inflammation with dry nasal passages (rhinitis sicca)
  • Have an enlarged prostate or a rare tumour of the adrenal gland (phaeochromocytoma)
  • Are taking monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) or have taken them in the last 14 days

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before use if you:

  • Have high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, or an overactive thyroid
  • Are pregnant or breastfeeding
  • Are using antidepressants or other decongestant medicines

How to Use Otrivine Congestion Relief Spray

  1. Clear your nose before using the spray.
  2. Remove the protective cap and hold the bottle upright.
  3. Insert the nozzle into one nostril and spray once while gently breathing in through your nose.
  4. Repeat for the other nostril.
  5. Wipe the nozzle clean and replace the protective cap after use.

Use up to three times a day (morning, midday, evening).
Do not use for more than 7 consecutive days, as prolonged use may worsen congestion.

IMPORTANT SAFETY UPDATE: NASAL DECONGESTANT SPRAYS AND DROPS

  • The MHRA, the UK medicines regulator, updated its advice on 30 April 2026 for nasal sprays and drops containing xylometazoline or oxymetazoline.
  • Do not use these products for more than five consecutive days, even if your packaging or leaflet still states seven days.
  • Using them for longer can make your blocked nose return or worsen (rebound congestion). Continued overuse can cause persistent nasal problems and make the medicine less effective.
  • Follow the recommended dose and leave the stated interval between doses. Do not use extra doses because the relief is wearing off.
  • Do not combine these products with other decongestants, including tablets, sprays or cold-and-flu remedies containing pseudoephedrine, phenylephrine or ephedrine. Check with our pharmacist if you are unsure.
  • If your symptoms worsen or have not improved after five days, contact your GP for advice.
  • If you have been using the product regularly for longer than five days or find it difficult to stop, contact our pharmacist or your GP. You may need help to reduce use gradually and choose an alternative treatment.
  • This advice applies to relevant Click2Pharmacy products, including Otrivine nasal sprays and drops, Sudafed Sinus Ease Nasal Spray, Sudafed Plus Blocked Nose Spray, Vicks Sinex Micromist and Vicks Sinex Soother, where they contain xylometazoline or oxymetazoline.
