Perivin P 0.05% Nasal Drops

Can I use Perivin P 0.05% Nasal Drops for my child continuously for more than 2 weeks if he has intermittent nasal congestion?

Do not administer Perivin P 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. Please follow the prescribed dosage schedule provided by your doctor.

What if I accidentally give my child too much of Perivin P 0.05% Nasal Drops?

Overdosing on Perivin P 0.05% Nasal Drops can lead to severe symptoms such as dizziness, perspiration, significant drops in body temperature, headache, bradycardia (slow heart rate), hypertension (high blood pressure), respiratory depression (decreased breathing), coma, and convulsions. In children, toxicity is higher than in adults. If this happens, contact your child’s doctor immediately.

How to administer Perivin P 0.05% Nasal Drops to my child?

Before using Perivin P 0.05% Nasal Drops, ask your child to clear the nose by gently blowing. Have your child lie down and tilt their head back as far as 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 drops into each nostril. Keep the head tilted back for a short period after application for better distribution within the nose. Replace the cap immediately afterwards. If the drops miss the nose entirely, administer the drops again. Do not administer if any part of the drop enters the nose.

When should I contact my child’s doctor immediately?

Call your child’s doctor immediately if they experience symptoms such as insomnia, dizziness, tremors, irregular heartbeat, or high blood pressure after using Perivin P 0.05% Nasal Drops.

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

What position should I have my child sleep in when he has a stuffy nose?

To aid mucus drainage, have your child lie on their back with a pillow. Avoid sleeping on the side as it may increase congestion in one or both nostrils.
