Expert advice for Xylometazoline + Sorbitol

Xylometazoline + Sorbitol 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.
