Ingredients
Otrivin Medicated Complete Nasal Care Spray contains carefully selected ingredients that work together to reduce nasal swelling and improve airflow.
Active Ingredients:
Xylometazoline hydrochloride – 0.1%
This active ingredient is a nasal decongestant that works by narrowing swollen blood vessels inside the nasal passages, helping to quickly relieve congestion.

These ingredients support product stability, comfort, and even spray distribution while helping maintain moisture inside the nasal cavity.
