Otrivine Adult Metered Dose Nasal Spray - 10ml

Otrivine Adult Metered Dose Nasal Spray – 10ml is a fast-acting nasal decongestant spray designed to relieve blocked or stuffy nose caused by colds, flu, hay fever or sinus congestion.

The spray contains xylometazoline hydrochloride, which works directly at the site of congestion by shrinking swollen blood vessels in the nasal lining. This action helps to open the nasal passages quickly, providing relief within minutes and allowing easier breathing.

The metered-dose pump delivers a controlled amount of spray for accurate dosing and effective relief. Otrivine Adult Nasal Spray is suitable for adults and children aged 12 years and over and is intended for short-term use only.
