Expert advice for Oxymetazoline + Sorbitol

  • It works right away and each dose provides relief for up to 12 hours.
  • The right way to use the nasal spray:
    • Shake the bottle before using the medicine. 
    • Clean your nose thoroughly before using the medicine.
    • Insert the bottle tip into one nostril and close the other nostril. 
    • Direct the spray towards the sides of your nostril, away from the cartilage dividing the two sides of your nose.
    • Breathe out gently through your mouth and repeat the same process for the other nostril.
  • Avoid deep breathing as it will cause the 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.
  • Oxymetazoline + Sorbitol can make nasal congestion worse if used for more than 3 or 4 days in a row (called rebound congestion).
