OXYSPRAY 10 GM 1 bottle

Oxyspray Nasal Spray

Oxyspray Nasal Spray belongs to the ‘alpha1A adrenoceptor agonists’ class of medicines, which are used to alleviate nasal congestion. Oxyspray Nasal Spray is also effective in the treatment of rosacea and ptosis of the eyelid. Oxyspray Nasal Spray is used/indicated differently depending on the dosage form. For example, Oxyspray Nasal Spray nasal spray solution is used to treat nasal congestion, while Oxyspray Nasal Spray cream is used to treat rosacea-related facial redness (a skin disease that causes redness and pimples on the face).

Nasal congestion is an obstruction of the nasal passage caused by nasal fluid that has become suffocated. The abnormal drooping of the upper eyelid is known as ptosis. Rosacea is a skin ailment marked by tiny reddish-purple lumps on the face that are pus-filled.

The active ingredient in Oxyspray Nasal Spray is oxymetazoline, which belongs to the class of ‘alpha1A adrenoceptor agonists.’ It constricts blood vessels, limiting blood supply to swollen tissue in the nose, eyelids, and skin. This impact aids in the reduction of inflammation and the relief of symptoms.

Nasal spray, topical cream, and eye drop dose formulations are all available for Oxyspray Nasal Spray. It is not recommended to use it for longer than 7 days. Irritation or burning feeling at the point of administration, blurred vision, eye pain, sleepiness, dizziness, headache, and slow or fast heartbeat are all common adverse effects of Oxyspray Nasal Spray. Consult your doctor right away if you notice that these side effects do not go away or get worse.

If you are allergic to oxymetazoline or any of the other substances in Oxyspray Nasal Spray, do not use it. If you are pregnant or nursing, or if you have heart disease, brain disease, high or low blood pressure, diabetes, Sjogren’s syndrome (an immune system issue), or vision difficulties, tell your doctor (glaucoma). If you are on or have recently taken monoamine oxidase inhibitors (for depression), do not take this medicine. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, tell your doctor.

Oxyspray’s Applications Spray for the nose

Medicinal Advantages

The active ingredient of Oxyspray Nasal Spray is oxymetazoline, a decongestant. It constricts blood vessels, limiting blood supply to swollen tissue in the nose, eye, or skin. This has the effect of reducing inflammation and so easing symptoms. In the nose, this action aids nasal drainage, offering relief from clogged nostrils. Oxyspray Nasal Spray provides a fast start of action and a long duration of activity.

Oxyspray Use Instructions Nasal Spray comes in a variety of dose forms, including nasal spray, ocular drops, and topical cream. Nasal spray: If you’re using the nasal spray for the first time or haven’t used it in at least 5 days, you’ll need to prime it. It involves squeezing the bottle to spray out part of the medicine before using it. Before each usage, give the nasal spray a good shake. Clear your nostrils by blowing your nose. Then, while spraying the drug into each nostril, maintain your head upright. After each use, wipe the bottle’s tip and tighten the cap. Unless your doctor advises otherwise, do not use more frequently than twice in 24 hours. Before and after using eye drops, wash your hands thoroughly with water. To make a tiny sac, tilt your head back and draw the lower eyelid down. Using the dropper, take the indicated dose and squeeze out a drop. For around 2 to 3 minutes, close your eyes. Using a tissue, absorb any extra liquid. After each use, do not wipe or rinse the dropper tip. Replace the dropper and tighten the top on the bottle.
