Product introduction

Maxtra O Nasal Spray is a medicine containing Oxymetazoline. It is used for blocked nose, allergic rhinitis and nasal dryness. It belongs to the group of medicines called Nasal decongestant / saline.

Blow your nose gently, then insert the nozzle into one nostril, close the other and breathe in as you press. The dose and how long you take it depend on what you are being treated for and how you respond. Do not take more, or for longer, than your doctor has advised.

The side effects seen most often with Maxtra O Nasal Spray are stinging in the nose, sneezing, dryness and nosebleeds. Most are mild and settle as the body gets used to the medicine. Tell your doctor if one persists or worries you.

Before you start, tell your doctor about any liver, kidney or heart problem, whether you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or breastfeeding, and every other medicine you take, including supplements and ayurvedic preparations. Some of them can change how Maxtra O Nasal Spray works.

Benefits

In Blocked nose: Maxtra O 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: Maxtra O 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: Maxtra O Nasal moistens a dry, crusted nose and soothes the irritation, which is especially helpful in air-conditioned rooms, in winter and after a cold.

Most side effects of Maxtra O Nasal are mild and settle as the body gets used to the medicine. The ones reported most often are:

Stinging in the nose
Sneezing
Dryness
Nosebleeds

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.

How to use

Blow your nose gently, then insert the nozzle into one nostril, close the other and breathe in as you press. Aim slightly away from the middle of your nose. Follow the dose and the duration written on your prescription.

Warnings & precautions

Do not use a medicated nasal decongestant for more than the few days stated on the pack. Longer use causes rebound congestion that is worse than the original block. Saline drops and sprays have no such limit and are safe for repeated use. Use your own bottle only — sharing spreads infection.

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.

Quick tips

Blow your nose gently before using the spray.
Steam inhalation and saline rinses help without any rebound risk.
