Nasostop drops for adult

Nasostop drops for adult

Description:

Nasostop 0.1% Adult Nasal Drops 15 ml is a topical nasal decongestant medicine formulated specifically for adults. It contains xylometazoline, an imidazoline derivative and selective alpha-adrenergic agonist that works by constricting blood vessels in the nasal mucosa, reducing swelling and congestion. Nasostop provides fast, targeted relief from nasal blockage due to common cold, sinusitis, allergic rhinitis, and other upper respiratory conditions, helping you breathe more easily through the nose. It is intended for short-term use and should be used exactly as directed.

Indications:

• Symptomatic relief of nasal congestion (blocked nose) in adults.
• Nasal congestion associated with common cold and flu.
• Nasal congestion due to allergic rhinitis (hay fever) and non-allergic rhinitis.
• Relief of nasal obstruction in acute sinusitis.
• To facilitate nasal breathing before sleep or during the day when nasal blockage is present.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Xylometazoline hydrochloride 0.1% (1 mg/ml) – topical nasal decongestant.
• Other excipients: Information on full inactive ingredient list is not available in the provided data. Please refer to the product packaging or patient leaflet for complete excipient details.

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• For adults and adolescents over 12 years: Unless otherwise directed by a physician, the usual dose is 2–3 drops in each nostril, up to 3 times daily.
• Do not exceed 3 applications per day in each nostril.
• Recommended duration of use: Short-term only. Do not use for more than 5–7 consecutive days to avoid rebound congestion (rhinitis medicamentosa), unless advised by a doctor.
• Administration method:
  • Blow the nose gently before use.
  • Tilt the head slightly back or lie down.
  • Hold the bottle upside down over the nostril and instill the prescribed number of drops.
  • Repeat in the other nostril.
  • Avoid contact of the dropper tip with the nose or any surface to keep it clean.
• Use only in the nose (intranasal). Do not ingest.
• If a dose is missed, use it when remembered but do not double the next dose.

Clinical Benefits:

• Provides rapid relief from nasal congestion by shrinking swollen nasal mucosa.
• Improves nasal airflow, making breathing easier during colds, allergies, and sinusitis.
• Helps reduce pressure and discomfort associated with blocked nasal passages and sinus congestion.
• Supports better sleep and daily comfort by relieving nighttime and daytime nasal obstruction.

• Prolonged or excessive use may lead to rebound congestion (worsening nasal blockage) and chronic rhinitis.
• Less common systemic side effects (usually with overuse or accidental ingestion) may include headache, nausea, increased blood pressure, palpitations, restlessness, or insomnia.
