Amclear 0.05% Nasal Drops

Can I give Amclear 0.05% Nasal Drops to my child continuously for more than 2 weeks if he has on and off nasal congestion?

Do not administer Amclear 0.05% Nasal Drops to your child for more than 10 consecutive days as this may lead to complications such as "atrophic rhinitis". It is also important to avoid abruptly stopping the medicine, as this can cause 'rebound congestion' in your child. Follow the prescribed dosing schedule.

What if I give too much of Amclear 0.05% Nasal Drops to my child by mistake?

An overdose of Amclear 0.05% Nasal Drops can cause severe dizziness, perspiration, a significant decrease in body temperature, headache, bradycardia (slow heart rate), hypertension, respiratory depression, coma, and convulsions. It may even lead to high blood pressure followed by a drop in blood pressure. Children are more sensitive to toxicity than adults, so it is important to contact your child's doctor immediately if this happens.

How do I use Amclear 0.05% Nasal Drops on my child?

Before administering Amclear 0.05% Nasal Drops, have your child clear their nose by blowing gently. Have your child lie down with their head tilted back as far as is comfortable, or if lying on a bed, keep the head over the side. Open the cap of the medicine container and without touching the nozzle to the nose, apply the medication into each nostril. Ask your child to keep their head tilted back for a short time to allow the drops to spread throughout the nose. Replace the cap right after use. If the drop completely misses the nose, administer the drop again. If any part of the drop gets into the nose, do not administer the drop again. Repeat for the other nostril. Clean and dry the nozzle before replacing the cap right after use. To avoid spreading infection, the bottle should only be used by one person.

When should I call my child’s doctor right away?

Call your child's doctor immediately if your child experiences symptoms such as insomnia, dizziness, tremors, an irregular heartbeat, or elevated blood pressure after using Amclear 0.05% Nasal Drops.

Can other medicines be given at the same time as Amclear 0.05% Nasal Drops?

Amclear 0.05% Nasal Drops may interact with other medications or substances. Tell your doctor about any other medications your child is taking before starting Amclear 0.05% Nasal Drops. Always consult with your child's doctor before giving them any medication.

In what position should I make my child sleep when he is having a stuffy nose?
