Frequently asked questions
Can I use Nozek P 0.05% Nasal Drops continuously for more than two weeks if my child has occasional nasal congestion?
Do not administer Nozek P 0.05% Nasal Drops to your child for longer than 10 consecutive days as it may lead to complications, such as "atrophic rhinitis". Additionally, avoid abruptly stopping the medication, as this can cause "rebound congestion" in your child. Therefore, follow the prescribed dosage schedule precisely.
What should I do if my child accidentally takes too much of Nozek P 0.05% Nasal Drops?
An overdose of Nozek P 0.05% Nasal Drops can lead to severe dizziness, excessive sweating, a drop in body temperature, headaches, bradycardia (slow heart rate), hypertension (high blood pressure), respiratory depression (breathing difficulties), coma, and convulsions. It may even trigger high blood pressure followed by low blood pressure. Since children are more sensitive to medication toxicity than adults, contact your child's doctor immediately if this occurs.
How should I apply Nozek P 0.05% Nasal Drops to my child?
Before applying Nozek P 0.05% Nasal Drops: First, ask your child to clear their nose by blowing gently. Then, have them lie down and raise their head slightly (looking up or tilting the head back in a comfortable position). For children on a bed, ensure their head is over the side. Open the medicine bottle's cap and avoid touching the nozzle to the nose. Apply the drops into each nostril without direct contact with the nozzle. Hold the child’s head tilted back for a short period, allowing the drops to spread throughout the nose. After use, replace the cap right away. If the entire drop misses the nose, administer it again. If any part of the drop enters the nose, do not repeat administration. Repeat on the other nostril. Before replacing the cap, clean and dry the nozzle. To avoid potential infection spread, only one person should use this bottle.
When should I contact my child’s doctor if using Nozek P 0.05% Nasal Drops?
Contact your child's doctor if they experience symptoms such as insomnia, dizziness, tremors, irregular heartbeat, or elevated blood pressure after taking Nozek P 0.05% Nasal Drops.
Can other medications be administered at the same time with Nozek P 0.05% Nasal Drops?
It's best to inform your child’s doctor about any other medicines or substances your child is taking before starting Nozek P 0.05% Nasal Drops. Additionally, consult your child's doctor before administering any medication to your child.
What position should I keep my child in when he has a stuffy nose?
To alleviate a stuffy nose, have your child lie on their back with a pillow to assist mucus drainage. Avoid sleeping the child on their side as it may intensify congestion in one or both nostrils.
