  • May help open blocked nose
  • Improve breathing

Benefits of Otrivin Advance Adult Nasal Spray

In Blocked nose
Otrivin Advance Adult Nasal shrinks the swollen lining inside the nose or washes away mucus, so you can breathe through your nose again and sleep better.
In Allergic rhinitis
Otrivin Advance Adult Nasal calms the allergic inflammation in the nose, relieving the sneezing, running and blockage with very little of the medicine reaching the rest of the body.
In Nasal dryness
Otrivin Advance Adult Nasal moistens a dry, crusted nose and soothes the irritation, which is especially helpful in air-conditioned rooms, in winter and after a cold.

How Otrivin Advance Adult Nasal Spray works

Xylometazoline is an alpha-adrenergic agonist that constricts blood vessels in the nasal mucosa. This reduces swelling and mucus congestion, improving airflow through the nose.

How to take Otrivin Advance Adult Nasal Spray

For adults and adolescents ≥12 years: 1 spray in each nostril up to 2-3 times daily as needed. Use for a maximum of 3 consecutive days unless advised by a doctor. Blow nose before use; keep bottle upright and avoid sharing the spray.

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

Missed dose and overdose

If you miss a dose

Apply it as soon as you remember. If it is nearly time for the next application, skip the missed one — applying extra does not make up for it.

If you take too much

An overdose of this medicine may cause a racing heart, restlessness and a rise in blood pressure if swallowed. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.

Side effects of Otrivin Advance Adult Nasal Spray

  • Nasal dryness

  • sneezing
  • irritation
  • headache
  • nausea
  • palpitations
  • rebound congestion (with overuse)

Stop the medicine and get help at once for a rash, swelling of the face or lips, wheezing or difficulty breathing. Tell your doctor about any side effect that persists or worries you.
