Frequently asked questions
Can I give Caswin P 0.05% Nasal Drops to my child continuously for more than 2 weeks if he has on and off nasal congestion?
Do not administer Caswin P 0.05% Nasal Drops for longer than 10 consecutive days as it may lead to complications such as "atrophic rhinitis". Stopping the medication suddenly can also cause "rebound congestion" in your child. Follow the prescribed dosing schedule.
What if I give too much of Caswin P 0.05% Nasal Drops to my child by mistake?
An overdose of Caswin P 0.05% Nasal Drops can cause severe dizziness, perspiration, significantly lower body temperature, headache, bradycardia (slow heart rate), hypertension (high blood pressure), respiratory depression (breathing difficulties), coma, and convulsions. It may even lead to high blood pressure followed by a fall in blood pressure. Children are more sensitive to toxicity than adults, so it is essential to contact your child's doctor immediately if this occurs.
How to use Caswin P 0.05% Nasal Drops in my child?
Before administering Caswin P 0.05% Nasal Drops, ensure your child clears their nose by blowing gently. Then, ask your child to lie down and tilt their head back as far as possible or keep the head over the side if lying on a bed. Open the medication bottle cap and avoid touching the nozzle to the nose while applying the drops into each nostril. After application, keep the head tilted back for a short time to allow the drops to spread throughout the nose. Replace the cap immediately after use. If the drop misses the nose completely, administer it again. If any part of the drop enters the nose, do not administer another drop. Repeat for the other nostril. After application, clean and dry the nozzle before replacing the cap.
When should I call my child’s doctor right away?
Contact your child's doctor immediately if they experience signs like insomnia, dizziness, tremor, irregular heartbeat, or elevated blood pressure after using Caswin P 0.05% Nasal Drops.
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Caswin P 0.05% Nasal Drops?
Caswin P 0.05% Nasal Drops may interact with other medications or substances. Always inform your child's doctor about any other medicines your child is taking before starting Caswin P 0.05% Nasal Drops. Always check with your child's doctor before administering any medication to your child.
In what position should I make my child sleep when he is having a stuffy nose?
To assist mucus drainage while sleeping, have your child lie on their back. Avoid the side-sleeping position as this may worsen congestion in one or both nostrils.
