Otrivine Blocked Nose Relief Nasal Spray is an over-the-counter fast-acting decongestant spray. The 10ml bottle contains the active ingredient Xylometazoline Hydrochloride (0.1% w/v).
It is specially formulated for adults and adolescents aged 12 years and older to quickly unblock stuffed noses, congested sinuses, and catarrh caused by common colds, flu, sinusitis, or nasal allergies (hay fever).
Otrivine Blocked Nose Relief acts directly on the swollen lining of your nasal passages:
Unblocks Nasal Passages Fast: Xylometazoline constricts swollen blood vessels in the nose and sinus cavities, opening up nasal passages within 2 to 5 minutes.
Long-Lasting Relief: Keeps your nose clear and breathing comfortably for up to 10 hours.
🚨 Rebound Congestion Warning: Do not use this spray continuously for more than 7 days in a row. Overusing decongestant nasal sprays can cause "rebound congestion" (rhinitis medicamentosa), making your nasal blockage worse when you stop.
🚨 Age Restriction: This 0.1% formula is intended for adults and adolescents aged 12 years and older. Do not give to children under 12 years of age.
🚨 Hygiene Warning: To prevent passing germs and colds between people, each bottle should be used by one person only.
Recommended Dosage: Administer 1 spray into each nostril up to 3 times daily as needed. Do not exceed 3 sprays per nostril in 24 hours.
How to Apply:
Gently blow your nose to clear your nostrils.
Wash your hands and remove the protective cap.
Hold the bottle upright with your thumb at the base and the nozzle between two fingers.
Tilt your head slightly forward, insert the nozzle tip into one nostril, and close the other nostril with a finger.
Press the pump once while breathing in gently through your nose.
Repeat in the other nostril and wipe the nozzle clean after each use.
