Dosage Regimen

The method of application and dosage regimen for a specific drug depend on its form of release and other factors. The optimal dosage regimen is determined by the doctor. It is necessary to strictly adhere to the compliance of the dosage form of a specific drug with the indications for use and dosage regimen.

Administer intranasally only. Use the spray or drops formulation as appropriate for the patient’s age and condition.

For adults and children over 6 years, apply one spray or 1-2 drops into each nostril. For the spray, press the applicator once firmly. Repeat this application 2-3 times per day as needed for nasal congestion.

For children aged 1 to 6 years, use only the formulation and concentration specifically approved for this age group. Apply one drop into each nostril. Repeat this application 2-3 times per day as required.

Do not use in infants under 1 year of age unless explicitly directed by a physician.

Limit the total duration of treatment to 3-5 days. Do not exceed the recommended dosage frequency. Prolonged use increases the risk of rebound congestion (medication-induced rhinitis).

Before using the spray, clear the nasal passages. Tilt your head back slightly for drops. Avoid the tip of the applicator touching the nasal septum or other surfaces to prevent contamination.

If symptoms persist beyond 5 days, discontinue use and consult a physician. Do not use with other intranasal vasoconstrictors concurrently.

Adverse Reactions

Local reactions possibly – burning, dryness of the nasal mucosa, sneezing; rarely – after the effect of application wears off, the development of a strong feeling of nasal congestion (reactive hyperemia).

Systemic reactions multiple overdoses with topical application may lead to tachycardia and increased blood pressure; very rarely – anxiety, insomnia, fatigue, headaches, nausea.

Contraindications

Atrophic rhinitis, closed-angle glaucoma, hypersensitivity to oxymetazoline.

Use with caution

Use of MAO inhibitors and the period up to 10 days after their intake; use of drugs that promote an increase in blood pressure and the period up to 10 days after their intake; increased intraocular pressure; severe forms of cardiovascular diseases (arterial hypertension, coronary artery disease), thyrotoxicosis, diabetes mellitus, pregnancy, period of breastfeeding.

Use in Pregnancy and Lactation

Use with caution during pregnancy and lactation (breastfeeding).

Pediatric Use

Used in children according to indications in appropriate dosage forms.

Geriatric Use

Use with caution in elderly patients to avoid exacerbation of chronic diseases.

Special Precautions

Avoid prolonged use and overdose, especially in children.

Effect on ability to drive vehicles and operate machinery

When used in doses exceeding the recommended ones, a general effect on the cardiovascular system and central nervous system cannot be excluded. In such cases, a decrease in the ability to drive vehicles and engage in other potentially hazardous activities is possible.

Drug Interactions

With simultaneous use of MAO inhibitors and tricyclic antidepressants, an increase in blood pressure is possible.

Oxymetazoline slows down the absorption of local anesthetics and prolongs their action.

Concomitant use of other vasoconstrictor drugs increases the risk of side effects.

Storage Conditions

Store at 2°C (36°F) to 30°C (86°F). Keep in original packaging, protected from light. Keep out of reach of children.

Dispensing Status
