Introduction
Otrivin Advance nasal decongestant spray is a fast-acting medication that provides quick and long-lasting relief from nasal congestion. It starts to unblock a congested nose in 25 seconds and continues to act for up to 12 hours. The spray is applied directly inside the nose, reducing excessive nasal secretions and returning swollen blood vessels to their normal size.
Directions for Use
Before first use, the pump should be sprayed several times into the air until an even spray is produced. If the spray has not been used for a few days or there is not an even spray, the initial process should be repeated. Clear the nose, hold the bottle upright, lean your head forward, insert the nozzle into a nostril, spray and breathe in gently through the nose at the same time, clean and dry the nozzle before replacing the cap right after use.
How it works
Otrivin Advance nasal decongestant spray works by reducing excessive nasal secretions and returning swollen blood vessels to their normal size, quickly relieving a congested nose and allowing normal breathing.
