Nasal Solution
Sylovide Nasal Spray/Drop should be used as you have been 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 make sure it reaches deep into the nose. Then repeat the same for the other nostril. It provides relief very quickly and can last for several hours. It provides only temporary relief but 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.
Use it as advised by your doctor or check the label for directions before use.
Sylovide Nasal Spray/Drop is a nasal decongestant. It works by narrowing the small blood vessels in the inner surface of the nose. This provides temporary relief from congestion or stuffiness in the nose.
It works right away and each dose provides relief for up to 12 hours. The right way to use the nasal spray: Shake the bottle before using the medicine. Clean your nose thoroughly before using the medicine. 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 so that you do not spread germs. Sylovide Nasal Spray/Drop can make nasal congestion worse if used for more than 3 or 4 days in a row (called rebound congestion).
Treatment with Sylovide Nasal Spray/Drop does not cause mental addiction. However, patients may experience physical dependence, which can lead to a strong desire to use the medication. Therefore, it is essential to use Sylovide Nasal Spray/Drop only as directed by your doctor and for the prescribed duration.
No, Sylovide Nasal Spray/Drop is not a steroid or an antihistamine. It belongs to a class of medications called adrenergic medicines, which are used as nasal decongestants to relieve nasal congestion.
Sylovide Nasal Spray/Drop is considered safe when used as directed by your doctor. It is crucial to take the medication exactly as prescribed and not skip any doses. Always follow your doctor's instructions carefully and inform them if you experience any side effects.
There is no evidence to suggest that Sylovide Nasal Spray/Drop causes cataract, insomnia, or drowsiness. However, it may increase blood pressure when used with certain medications, such as selegiline and moclobemide, which are used to treat depression. Additionally, it may interact with blood pressure medications, reducing their effectiveness. It is essential to consult your doctor about potential side effects and drug interactions.
It is not recommended to use Sylovide Nasal Spray/Drop simultaneously with Benadryl (diphenhydramine), phenylephrine, or pseudoephedrine. Consult your doctor before using any other medication with Sylovide Nasal Spray/Drop to ensure safe and effective treatment.
