About Otrivine Congestion Relief Nasal Spray

Otrivine Congestion Relief 0.1% Nasal Spray is a fast-acting decongestant that provides quick relief from blocked noses caused by colds, hay fever, sinusitis, and allergies.

It contains xylometazoline hydrochloride, a nasal decongestant that works by narrowing swollen blood vessels in the nasal passages, helping to open the airways and make breathing easier. Relief usually starts within minutes and lasts up to 10 hours.

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.
