Olfamist Nasal Solution

Olfamist Nasal Solution should be used as you have been advised by your doctor. Normally, you should blow your nose gently before using it, keep one nostril closed while applying the medicine into the other, and then sniff hard to make sure it reaches deep into the nose. Then repeat the same for the other nostril. It provides relief very quickly and can last for several hours. It provides only temporary relief, but do not use it more often or for longer than recommended. If you use this medicine too often or for too long, it may worsen your symptoms rather than improve them.

The most common side effects are nose irritation and dryness of the mouth or throat. These are usually mild, but if they bother you or do not go away, your doctor may be able to suggest ways of preventing or reducing them.

It is generally a safe medicine. Before taking it, talk to your doctor about any health problems you have, such as heart problems, high blood pressure (hypertension), an overactive thyroid gland, or glaucoma (increased pressure in the eye), or prostate enlargement. Let your doctor know about any other medicines you are taking to make sure you are safe. Ask your doctor for advice before using this medicine if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

• Olfamist Nasal Solution works right away, and each dose provides relief for up to 12 hours. 
• Shake the bottle before using the medicine, and clean your nose thoroughly before using the medicine.
• Avoid deep breathing as it will cause medication to go back to the throat and make it less effective.
• Do not share the bottle with anyone else so that you do not spread germs.
• Olfamist Nasal Solution can make nasal congestion worse if used for more than 3 or 4 days in a row (called rebound congestion).
