OTRIVIN ADULT NASAL SPRAY 0.1%

Otrivin 0.1% Metered Dose Nasal Spray effectively relieves nasal congestion within 2 minutes. Quickly provides a sensation of improved nasal airflow with long-lasting relief.
How it works
Otrivin 0.1% Metered Dose Nasal Spray contains the active ingredient, Xylometazoline hydrochloride, which unblocks your nose by reducing swelling of the mucosa. It also helps sinus drainage so mucus can be drained out, easing painful sinus pressure.
How to use
Otrivin 0.1% Metered Dose Nasal Spray should be administered as follows: 1 spray in each nostril up to 3 times per day.

Detailed instructions:

1. Clear your nose.
2. Lean forward slightly and insert the nozzle into a nostril.
3. Spray and breathe in gently through the nose at the same time.
4. Repeat for the other nostril.

If cold symptoms persist or worsen consult your doctor or pharmacist. To avoid possible spread of infection, only one person should use each pack.
