Otrivine Congestion Relief 0.1% Nasal Spray - 10ml

Otrivine Congestion Relief 0.1% Nasal Spray – 10ml is a fast-acting nasal decongestant spray designed to relieve a blocked or stuffy nose caused by colds, sinusitis or allergic rhinitis (hay fever).

The spray contains xylometazoline hydrochloride, which works directly on swollen blood vessels in the nasal lining, helping to reduce swelling and congestion. This allows air to flow more freely through the nose and helps restore comfortable breathing.

Relief can last for up to 10 hours, making it suitable for both daytime and night-time use.

Suitable for adults and children aged 12 years and over, for short-term use only.

Adults and children aged 12 years and over:

• Spray once into each nostril, 1–2 times daily.
