Drug Overview

Nasal Four Nasal Spray is a nasal decongestant that contains phenylephrine hydrochloride (a medication that helps relieve nasal congestion). It is designed to temporarily relieve nasal congestion caused by common colds, hay fever, and upper respiratory allergies.

This spray works quickly to alleviate symptoms such as swollen nasal membranes, sinus congestion, and sinus pressure, helping you breathe more easily when you're feeling congested.

Uses

If you're dealing with nasal congestion from a common cold, hay fever, or upper respiratory allergies, this medication can help provide temporary relief. It works by easing the stuffiness and discomfort that often comes with these conditions, allowing you to breathe more easily.

Rest assured, there are no concerns about teratogenic effects (which means it won't cause birth defects) associated with this medication. This makes it a safer option for those who may be pregnant or planning to become pregnant.

Dosage and Administration

When using this medication, adults and children aged 12 years and older should take 2 or 3 sprays in each nostril, but make sure not to do this more often than every 4 hours. If you are giving this medication to a child under 12 years old, it’s important to consult a doctor first for guidance.

To use the spray correctly, keep your head in a normal, upright position. Insert the tip of the atomizer into your nostril, then squeeze the bottle with firm, quick pressure while inhaling. After each use, remember to wipe the nozzle clean to keep it hygienic and functioning properly.

What to Avoid

It's important to use this medication responsibly. You should not take more than the directed amount, and avoid using it for more than three days. Using it for a longer period can lead to a return or worsening of nasal congestion. Always follow these guidelines to ensure your safety and the effectiveness of the treatment.

Side Effects

You may experience some temporary discomfort while using this product, which can include burning, stinging, sneezing, or an increase in nasal discharge. These side effects are generally mild and should resolve on their own.
