Buy Care Ephedrine Nasal Drops 0.5% 

Care Ephedrine Nasal Drops 0.5% is a decongestant that is used to relieve nasal congestion caused by a cold, sinusitis, hay fever and allergies. 

 

How Care Ephedrine Nasal Drops 0.5% work

Care Ephedrine Nasal Drops 0.5% contain the active ingredient ephedrine hydrochloride. Ephedrine hydrochloride is a decongestant that works by narrowing the blood vessels in the nose. 

The narrowing of the blood vessels in the nose reduces swelling and congestion, clearing the airways and making it easier to breathe.

Do not blow your nose for a minimum of 5 minutes after using this product. 

Do not use the drops for more than 7 days without talking to your GP or pharmacist.

Good but monitor use, don't use too much very important to follow guidelines. If not you can get a rebound effect which can make you worse. I've used these annually for a while now for ETD blockage.
