How Nasivion Paediatric Nasal Drops works

Oxymetazoline is a topical nasal decongestant (alpha-adrenergic agonist). It constricts blood vessels in the nasal mucosa, reducing swelling and congestion and improving airflow.

How to take Nasivion Paediatric Nasal Drops

For intranasal use only. Instill the prescribed number of drops into each nostril as directed, usually 2–3 times daily. Do not use for more than 3 days continuously to avoid rebound congestion; use the dropper as instructed and avoid touching the tip to prevent contamination.

Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.
