Oxymetazoline is a topical medication commonly used to relieve symptoms of nasal congestion and sinusitis. It belongs to a class of drugs called alpha-adrenoceptor agonists, which relieve nasal congestion by constricting blood vessels and reducing mucosal congestion. When using, you should follow your doctor's advice and drug instructions, and avoid excessive use to prevent adverse reactions. When using oxymetazoline, avoid contact with the eyes or oral mucosa to avoid irritation or discomfort. If any adverse reactions occur, such as headache, palpitations, insomnia or difficulty breathing, you should stop using it and seek medical advice immediately. In Hong Kong, oxymetazoline is commonly found in pharmacies and medical institutions, but it still needs to be used with caution and follow medical advice for best results.
Instructions for use: Spray the medicine into the nasal cavity and clean the nasal cavity before each use. Keep your head upright when using, and gently press your nostrils after inhalation. Do not overdose, use once every 6 to 8 hours. Avoid mixing with caffeine or alcohol.
Dosage Guidelines: Adults and adolescents 12 years and older use 1 to 2 sprays, up to 3 to 4 times daily. For children 6 to 12 years old, use 1 spray each time, up to 2 to 3 times daily. Not recommended for use by children under 6 years old. The starting dose should be the lowest dose, with dose adjustments made as needed but not exceeding the recommended daily dose. If you experience any discomfort, you should stop using it immediately and consult your doctor.
OXYMETAZOLINE is a blood vessel constrictor drug commonly used to treat nasal congestion. However, there are some common side effects of using this drug, including dry eyes, headache, dizziness, rapid heartbeat and difficulty sleeping. Long-term heavy use of OXYMETAZOLINE may make the nasal cavity overly dependent on this drug, leading to rebound nasal congestion and making the situation more serious. If you develop serious side effects, such as difficulty breathing, chest pain, or heart palpitations, seek medical advice immediately. When using OXYMETAZOLINE, you should strictly follow your doctor's instructions and avoid long-term continuous use and exceeding the recommended dosage.
