Fast Acting Nasal Nasl
Generic Name: DECONGESTANT SPRAY - NASAL
Fast Acting Nasal Nasl Uses
This medication is used for temporary relief of congestion in
the nose caused by various conditions including the common cold,
sinusitis, hay fever, and allergies. It works by narrowing the
blood vessels in the nose area, reducing swelling and
congestion.
Do not use this medication in children younger than 2 years
unless specifically directed by the doctor. To decrease the risk
for serious side effects, carefully follow all of the doctor's
dosage directions. Do not give other cough and cold medication that
might contain the same or similar ingredients (see also Drug
Interactions section). Ask your doctor or pharmacist about other
ways to relieve cough and cold symptoms (e.g., saline nose
drops/spray, using a humidifier or infant nasal suction bulb).
How To Use Fast Acting Nasal Nasl
Use this medication in the nose as directed. Follow all
directions on the product package, or use as directed by your
doctor. If you are uncertain about any of the information, consult
your doctor or pharmacist.
Gently blow your nose before using this drug. Use your finger to
close the nostril on the side not receiving the medication. While
keeping your head upright, place the spray tip into the open
nostril. Spray the medication into the open nostril as you breathe
in through your nose. Sniff hard a few times to be sure the
medication reaches deep into the nose. Repeat these steps for the
other nostril if needed.
Avoid spraying the medication into your eyes or onto the middle
of the inside of your nose (nasal septum).
Rinse the spray tip with hot water or wipe with a clean tissue
after each use. Make sure that water does not get inside the
container. Replace cap after each use.
This medication provides only temporary relief. Do not use more
often, use more sprays, or use longer than directed because doing
so may increase the risk of side effects. Also, do not use this
medication for more than 3 days or it may cause a condition called
rebound congestion. Symptoms of rebound congestion include
long-term redness and swelling inside the nose and increased runny
nose. If this occurs, stop using this medication and consult your
doctor or pharmacist.
Inform your doctor if your condition worsens or persists after 3
days.
