Nasal Solution

Introduction

Nozeopen 0.1% Nasal Solution should be used as advised by your doctor. It provides only temporary relief so do not use it more often or for longer than recommended. Normally you should blow your nose gently before using it, keep one nostril closed while applying the medicine into the other, and then sniff hard to make sure it reaches deep into the nose. Then repeat for the other nostril. It provides relief very quickly and can last for several hours. If you use this medicine too often or for too long, it may worsen your symptoms rather than improve them. The most common side effects are burning sensation in the nose and throat, local irritation, nausea, headache, and dry nose. These are usually mild but if they bother you or do not go away, your doctor may be able to suggest ways of preventing or reducing them. It is generally a safe medicine but, before taking it, talk to your doctor about any health problems you have such as heart problems, high blood pressure (hypertension), overactive thyroid gland, glaucoma, or prostate enlargement. Let your doctor know about any other medicines you are taking to make sure you are safe. Ask your doctor for advice before using this medicine if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Use it as advised by your doctor or check the label for directions before use.

Nozeopen 0.1% Nasal Solution is a nasal decongestant. It works by narrowing the small blood vessels in the inner surface of the nose. This provides temporary relief from congestion or stuffiness in the nose.

Nozeopen 0.1% Nasal Solution works right away and each dose provides relief for up to 12 hours. Shake the bottle before using the medicine. Clean your nose thoroughly before using the medicine. Insert the bottle tip into one nostril and close the other nostril. Direct the spray towards the sides of your nostril away from the cartilage dividing the two sides of your nose. Breathe out gently through your mouth and repeat the same process for the other nostril. Nozeopen 0.1% Nasal Solution can make nasal congestion worse if used for more than 7 days in a row (called rebound congestion). Avoid deep breathing as it will cause medication to go back to the throat and make it less effective. Do not share the bottle with anyone else so that you do not spread germs.
