About Sudafed Blocked Nose Spray
The fastest lane to a clear nose: Sudafed's xylometazoline spray shrinks swollen nasal blood vessels on contact, unblocking a congested nose within minutes and keeping it open for up to ten hours. Colds, sinusitis, hayfever congestion — one spray per nostril and airflow is restored. 15ml.
Spray vs tablet decongestants
Tablets work from the bloodstream; sprays work where the blockage is. That means faster relief, a smaller dose, and none of the stimulant feel some people get from oral decongestants — the trade-off is the golden rule below.
How to use
Adults and children 12+: one spray into each nostril up to three times daily. Blow your nose gently first. Maximum 7 days' continuous use.
Good to know
The 7-day rule isn't small print — overusing decongestant sprays causes rebound congestion (a nose that blocks because of the spray). If you're still blocked after a week, switch approaches: saline, steam, or a pharmacist chat. Not for people on MAOI antidepressants; caution with heart conditions and high blood pressure.

Frequently asked questions
Why only 7 days?
Longer use causes rebound congestion — the nose swells shut as each dose wears off, trapping you in a spray cycle. Seven days on, then stop; saline sprays have no such limit.
How fast does it work?
Within minutes — xylometazoline constricts the swollen vessels lining the nose on contact, and one dose lasts up to 10 hours.
Can I use it with high blood pressure?
Ask our pharmacist first — decongestants can raise blood pressure. Saline and steam are the no-caution alternatives.
