Otrivin 0.5% Drops Child

Otrivin is used to relieve nasal congestion. It contains the active ingredient xylometazoline, which is a type of medicine called a decongestant. When this medicine is sprayed into the nose, the xylometazoline causes the blood vessels in the linings of the nasal passages to contract and narrow. This reduces swelling and the feeling of congestion. Otrivin works fast: the nasal spray helps relieve congestion within five minutes and the effect of the medicine lasts for up to six hours.
