Naselin Nasal Spray is a topical decongestant containing Oxymetazoline that provides rapid relief from blocked nose caused by colds, flu, hay fever, and allergies.

How Naselin Nasal Spray Works?

It contains Oxymetazoline, an alpha-adrenergic agonist that constricts dilated blood vessels in nasal tissues. This reduces swelling and inflammation, quickly opening nasal passages. Unlike oral decongestants, it has minimal systemic absorption when used properly, making it safer for most patients.

FAQs:

Q1. How quickly does Naselin work?

Most users experience relief within 5-10 minutes, with full effect in 15-30 minutes.

Q2. Can Naselin Spray cause dependency?

Yes, prolonged use (>3-5 days) can cause rebound congestion, making you feel you need it constantly.

Q3. Is Naselin Nasal Spray safe for children?

Not recommended under age 6. For older children, use pediatric-strength formulations under medical guidance.

Q4. Why does my nose feel worse after stopping?

Rebound congestion occurs from overuse. Taper usage by alternating nostrils rather than stopping abruptly.

Q5. Can I use Naselin Spray with antihistamines?

Yes, they work well together – antihistamines treat allergy causes while it relieves congestion.

Q6. How does Naselin differ from saline sprays?

Saline is safe for long-term use but only moisturizes. It actively reduces swelling but risks rebound congestion.

Q7. Can diabetics use Naselin Spray safely?

Generally yes, but monitor blood sugar as decongestants may affect glucose levels in some cases.

Q8. Why must I spray sideways?

Aiming away from the septum prevents irritation and potential perforation of the nasal wall.

Caution required – may counteract BP drugs. Consult your doctor first if hypertensive.

2-3 times daily maximum, never exceeding 3 consecutive days to avoid rebound effects.
