Introduction

Oxydrops Adult 0.05% Nasal Drops should be used as advised by your doctor. Normally, you should blow your nose gently before using it, keep one nostril closed while applying the medicine into the other, and then sniff hard to ensure it reaches deep into the nose. It provides relief very quickly and can last for several hours. It provides only temporary relief, so do not use it more often or for longer than recommended. If you use this medicine too often or for too long, it may worsen your symptoms rather than improve them. The most common side effects are nose irritation and dryness of the mouth or throat. These are usually mild, but if they bother you or do not go away, your doctor may be able to suggest ways of preventing or reducing them. It is generally a safe medicine, but before taking it, talk to your doctor about any health problems you have such as heart problems, high blood pressure (hypertension), overactive thyroid gland, glaucoma (increased pressure in the eye), or prostate enlargement. Let your doctor know about any other medicines you are taking to ensure you are safe. Ask your doctor for advice before using this medicine if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Tilt your head as far back as possible and hold the dropper close to the nose without touching it. Gently squeeze the dropper and place the medicine in the nose. Bend your head forward for a few minutes.

Oxydrops Adult 0.05% Nasal Drops is a nasal decongestant. It works by narrowing the small blood vessels in the inner surface of the nose, providing temporary relief from congestion or stuffiness.

It works right away and each dose provides relief for up to 12 hours. Shake the bottle before using the medicine. Clean your nose thoroughly before using the medicine. Insert the bottle tip into one nostril and close the other nostril. Direct the spray towards the sides of your nostril away from the cartilage dividing the two sides of your nose. Breathe out gently through your mouth and repeat the same process for the other nostril. Avoid deep breathing as it will cause medication to go back to the throat and make it less effective. Do not share the bottle with anyone else to avoid spreading germs. Oxydrops Adult 0.05% Nasal Drops can make nasal congestion worse if used for more than 3 or 4 days in a row (called rebound congestion).
