Product overview
About Otrivine Congestion Relief
The straightforward Otrivine: xylometazoline 0.1%, clearing a blocked nose within minutes and keeping it clear for hours. No frills, no extras — the decongestant spray GPs and pharmacists have recommended for decades. 10ml.
Why spray beats tablet for a blocked nose
A spray puts the decongestant directly on the swollen tissue, so it works in minutes at a fraction of the dose — and without the whole-body effects that make oral decongestants unsuitable for people with blood pressure or heart concerns. For pure congestion, topical wins.
How to use
Adults and children 12+: one spray per nostril up to three times a day. Never more than 7 consecutive days.
Good to know
Rebound congestion from overuse is the classic trap — the nose blocks *because* of the spray, inviting more spray. Seven days, then stop; saline takes over if needed.

Frequently asked questions
How fast does it work?
Within a couple of minutes — the spray lands directly on the swollen tissue rather than travelling through the bloodstream.
Is it better than decongestant tablets?
For a blocked nose alone, usually yes — faster, lower dose, and no whole-body effects. Tablets earn their place when you need multi-symptom relief.
What happens if I use it too long?
Rebound congestion — a blocked nose caused by the spray itself. Respect the 7-day ceiling.
