Nasal Metered Dose Spray 0.1% For Adults 10ml
Otrivin 0.1% is a clear, colourless and practically odourless solution containing 1mg/mL of xylometazoline hydrochloride. It quickly decongests your stuffy nose and helps clear blocked mucus secretions so you can breathe easier. Otrivin 0.1% is used for various types of cold symptoms. It is designed to be applied in the nostrils, where it exerts a vasoconstricting effect, thereby decongesting the mucosae of the nose and throat. This effect allows patients with colds to breathe more easily through the nose. Otrivin 0.1% starts to decongest within 2 minutes and lasts for several hours. Otrivin 0.1% contains ingredients that help prevent the nasal mucosa from drying out. Otrivin 0.1% is indicated in adults and in adolescents over 12 years of age.
**Where applicable, items have a minimum of nine-month shelf life before expiry unless otherwise stated on the product description.
