Buy Otrivine Adult Nasal Drops 

Otrivine Adult Nasal Drops are an effective decongestant, containing the active ingredient xylometazoline hydrochloride. They are applied to provide relief from nasal congestion, perennial and allergic rhinitis, and sinusitis. 

How Otrivine Adult Nasal Drops work

Otrivine Adult Nasal Drops help to open up and clear the nasal passages by reducing the excessive nasal secretions and returning the swollen blood vessels to their normal size.

Directions

Always use Otrivine Adult Nasal Drops exactly as described in the patient information leaflet or as your doctor / Chemist4U pharmacist has told you. 

Apply 2-3 drops inside each nostril up to three times per day. Do not exceed three applications per day.

When using Otrivine Adult Nasal Drops:

• do not use more than the recommended daily dose
• do not use this treatment with another decongestant product

Overuse can cause rebound congestion, as well as a significant reduction in how effective this treatment is at easing your symptoms.

If your nose remains blocked after five days of use, stop using this treatment and contact a healthcare professional.
