What Otrivine Adult Nasal Spray is And What is it used for?
Otrivine Adult Nasal Spray is used to relieve a blocked nose caused by colds, allergies (like hay fever), and sinusitis. It works by shrinking swollen blood vessels and reducing excess mucus, helping to clear your nasal passages so you can breathe more easily. The active ingredient, xylometazoline hydrochloride, provides quick and effective relief from nasal congestion.
