Benefits for nasal congestion

This nasal spray acts quickly to reduce swelling of nasal tissues, allowing for more comfortable breathing. Its maximum strength formula is designed to provide long-lasting relief for up to 12 hours, ideal for those who need to maintain productivity during the day or rest undisturbed at night. By using Afrin, you can experience a significant improvement in nasal breathing, contributing to an overall sense of well-being.

Ingredients and mechanism of action

Afrin's active ingredient is oxymetazoline, a nasal decongestant that acts as an alpha-adrenergic agonist. Oxymetazoline constricts blood vessels in the nasal mucosa, reducing inflammation and mucus production, which relieves congestion. Each dose contains 0.05% oxymetazoline, a concentration considered maximum strength for topical nasal use. Each 30 ml bottle provides approximately 120 doses, offering a long-lasting supply for several weeks of occasional use.

How to use this nasal spray

Gently shake the bottle before use. Tilt your head slightly forward and insert the applicator into one nostril. Press the pump once while gently inhaling through your nose. Repeat in the other nostril if necessary. Do not use more than two doses per nostril every 24 hours. Do not share the product with others to prevent the spread of germs. Wash the applicator after each use. Each bottle is independent, so you can carry one with you and have another at home.

Do not use if you have glaucoma, heart disease, high blood pressure, prostatic hyperplasia, diabetes, or if you are taking MAO inhibitors.
