About Oxydrops Nasal Solution

Oxydrops Nasal Solution belongs to the class of medications called nasal decongestants primarily used to treat nasal congestion (stuffy nose) caused by hay fever (allergic rhinitis), common colds, flu, sinusitis, or other allergic sinusitis. Nasal congestion also known as stuffy nose occurs when nasal passages become swollen with excess mucus and fluid.

Oxydrops Nasal Solution contains Oxymetazoline, a nasal decongestant that works by contracting and narrowing the blood vessels in the linings of nasal passages. Thus, Oxydrops Nasal Solution provides relief from congestion and decreases mucus production. 

Use Oxydrops Nasal Solution as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to use Oxydrops Nasal Solution for as long as your doctor has prescribed it based on your medical condition. Some people may experience irritation or dryness of the nasal mucosa (tissue lining the nasal cavity), local burning sensation, headache, and nausea. Most of these side effects of Oxydrops Nasal Solution do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor. 

Please tell your doctor if you are allergic to Oxydrops Nasal Solution or any other medicines. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, inform your doctor before using Oxydrops Nasal Solution. Oxymetazoline nasal drops can be safely used in children.  Avoid taking Oxydrops Nasal Solution if you have narrow-angle glaucoma or if you have undergone recent trans-nasal surgery. If you have diabetes, high blood pressure, hyperthyroidism, or heart disease, inform your doctor before taking Oxydrops Nasal Solution. You are recommended to remove nasal fluids before applying Oxydrops Nasal Solution by blowing the nose. Avoid sharing Oxydrops Nasal Solution with other people to prevent the spread of infection.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Nasal congestion: It is also known as stuffy nose that occurs when nasal passages become swollen with excess mucus and fluid. Nasal congestion may be caused by hay fever, allergies, nasal polyps (non-cancerous growths) or benign tumours in the nasal passages, environmental irritants or a long lasting sinus infection. It may also be triggered by tobacco smoke, perfume or an infection. Rinsing the inside of the nose with saline solution and using a humidifier at home may help to provide relief from congestion. Consult a doctor if you have severe nasal discharge, fever, sinus pain, or difficulty breathing.
