Naphazoline is a nasal decongestant used to relieve nasal congestion associated with colds, sinusitis, or allergic rhinitis. It works by constricting blood vessels in the nasal mucosa, reducing inflammation and congestion.
The medication is available as nasal drops or spray and provides rapid symptom relief. However, long-term use may lead to adverse effects such as rebound congestion (rhinitis medicamentosa).
Side effects may include dryness of the nasal mucosa, burning sensation, or local irritation. It is important not to exceed the recommended duration of use, typically 3-5 days.
Consult your doctor before use, especially if you have cardiovascular conditions, high blood pressure, or other health issues. Use Naphazoline as directed to avoid complications.
