Drixoral No Drip Original Nasal Decongestant Spray, 15 mL

Nasal Decongestant Spray

Blocked nasal passages can make daily life feel harder than it should. This nasal decongestant spray is designed for fast, targeted relief when congestion interferes with breathing, sleep, or focus.

Its no-drip format helps keep the medicine where it is needed, making application cleaner and more comfortable. It is a practical option for adults and older children who need dependable relief from a stuffy nose caused by colds, seasonal allergies, or sinus pressure.

This medicine contains a nasal decongestant that works directly inside the nasal passages. It helps shrink swollen blood vessels in the nose, which opens the airway and improves airflow.

The formula is made for local action, so the medicine starts working where congestion begins.

How to Use (Pharmacists Guidelines)

Use this nasal spray exactly as directed on the label or by your pharmacist. Correct technique improves results and helps avoid waste.

• Blow the nose gently before use.
• Remove the cap and keep the bottle upright.
• Prime the pump if using it for the first time or if it has not been used for several days.
• Tilt the head slightly forward.
• Insert the nozzle into one nostril and close the other nostril with a finger.
• Spray while breathing in gently through the nose.
• Repeat in the other nostril if needed.
• Wipe the nozzle after use and replace the cap.

Do not share the bottle with another person. Shared use can spread germs and increase the risk of infection. Avoid spraying into the eyes or mouth. After application, do not rinse the nose right away, as this can reduce the effect of the medicine.

Dosage

Adults and children 12 years and older usually use 2 or 3 sprays in each nostril every 10 to 12 hours, depending on the label directions. Do not exceed 2 doses in 24 hours.

Children under 12 years should only use this medicine if a healthcare professional recommends it. Younger children are more sensitive to decongestants, and dosing errors can increase the risk of adverse effects.

Do not use this nasal decongestant for more than 3 consecutive days unless a healthcare professional tells you otherwise. Longer use can lead to rebound congestion, where the nasal passages become more blocked once the medicine wears off.

Precautions

This medicine is effective when used properly, but it is not suitable for every patient. Read the label carefully before starting treatment.

• Do not use if you are allergic to oxymetazoline or any ingredient in the formula.
• Ask a pharmacist or doctor before use if you have high blood pressure.
• Use caution if you have heart disease, thyroid disease, diabetes, or difficulty urinating due to an enlarged prostate.
• Speak with a healthcare professional before use during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
• Do not use with other stimulant or decongestant medicines unless advised by a healthcare provider.
• Stop use and seek advice if symptoms last, worsen, or return quickly after treatment.

Frequent overuse can irritate the nose and reduce the benefit of the spray. Keeping to the recommended schedule protects both safety and performance.

Side Effects

Most patients tolerate this nasal spray well when it is used for short-term relief. Side effects are usually mild and limited to the nose.

Possible side effects include:

• Temporary burning or stinging in the nose
• Dryness inside the nasal passages
• Sneezing after application
