Afrin 0.05% Nasal Spray 15ml

Afrin 0.05% Nasal Spray is a topical nasal decongestant, with oxymetazoline hydrochloride as its active ingredient. It's designed for short-term relief and works quickly by acting directly in the nasal passages rather than being absorbed extensively through the body. The main thing to know is that it's meant for short courses only — using it for more than about three consecutive days can lead to rebound congestion, where your nose feels more blocked once you stop. Common effects include a brief stinging or burning sensation, dryness, or sneezing right after use. If you find yourself reaching for it frequently, that's a good sign to check in with a pharmacist or doctor about what's really going on with your congestion.

For adults and children over the recommended age, typically 2 to 3 sprays are used per nostril up to twice daily, not exceeding the maximum recommended doses in 24 hours. It should not be used for more than 3 consecutive days without medical advice.

• Nasal stinging or burning sensation
• Nasal dryness
• Sneezing
• Headache
• Rebound congestion with prolonged or overuse
• Nosebleeds (uncommon)
• Increased heart rate (rare, typically with overuse)
• Nausea (uncommon)

Store at room temperature, below 30°C, away from direct sunlight and excessive heat. Keep the cap tightly closed after use and out of reach of children.

• Use for no more than 3 consecutive days to avoid rebound congestion
• Avoid sharing your nasal spray bottle with others
• Wipe the nozzle clean after each use
• Store upright with the cap secured
• Keep away from children, as accidental ingestion can be serious
• Speak to a pharmacist if congestion persists beyond a few days

Blow your nose gently first, then insert the nozzle into one nostril, sniffing gently while pressing down on the spray. Avoid tilting your head back excessively, and use it only as directed on the label for short-term relief.

Unopened, the spray is generally stable for around 2–3 years from manufacture; once opened, it's best used within the timeframe stated on the packaging, often a few months. Always check the printed expiry date.

Oxymetazoline hydrochloride 0.05% — a topical alpha-adrenergic agonist that constricts blood vessels in the nasal lining to reduce swelling and congestion.

Not to be used in individuals with a known hypersensitivity to oxymetazoline or other components of the spray. It should be avoided or used only with medical advice in people with uncontrolled high blood pressure, heart disease, or those taking certain antidepressants (MAOIs).

Because it's absorbed minimally into the bloodstream when used as directed, significant food interactions are unlikely, but combining it with other decongestants or stimulant medicines may increase the risk of side effects like elevated heart rate or blood pressure. Always check with a pharmacist if you're using other cold or allergy remedies at the same time.
