Oxymetazoline Solution

Generic Name: Oxymetazoline Nasal Solution (OX-ee-MET-azz-oh-leen)
Brand Name: Examples include Afrin and Nostrilla 12 Hour

Oxymetazoline Solution is used for:

Relieving nasal congestion due to the common cold, hay fever, other upper respiratory tract allergies, or sinus infection. It may also be used to treat other conditions as determined by your doctor.

Oxymetazoline Solution is a decongestant. It works by shrinking swollen and congested nasal tissues (mucous membranes) by constricting blood vessels. This results in relief of congestion (stuffy feeling), improved drainage of mucus, and improved breathing through the nose. Local application (eg, nose drops and sprays) causes more intense and rapid vasoconstriction than oral medicines (eg, tablets, syrups).

Do NOT use Oxymetazoline Solution if:

you are allergic to any ingredient in Oxymetazoline Solution
you are also taking furazolidone or a monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitor (eg, phenelzine)

Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.

Before using Oxymetazoline Solution:

Some medical conditions may interact with Oxymetazoline Solution. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any medical conditions, especially if any of the following apply to you:

if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding
if you are taking any prescription or nonprescription medicine, herbal preparation, or dietary supplement
if you have allergies to medicines, foods, or other substances
if you have high blood pressure, enlarged prostate, diabetes, overactive thyroid, or heart disease

Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with Oxymetazoline Solution. Tell your health care provider if you are taking any other medicines, especially any of the following:

Tricyclic antidepressants (eg, amitriptyline) because the effectiveness of Oxymetazoline Solution may be decreased
Cocaine, furazolidone, MAO inhibitors (eg, phenelzine), or tricyclic antidepressants (eg, amitriptyline) because side effects, such as headache, fever, or high blood pressure, may be increased
Bromocriptine or cocaine because the actions and side effects of these medicines may be increased

This may not be a complete list of all interactions that may occur. Ask your health care provider if Oxymetazoline Solution may interact with other medicines that you take. Check with your health care provider before you start, stop, or change the dose of any medicine.

How to use Oxymetazoline Solution:

Use Oxymetazoline Solution as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.

To use nose drops, gently blow your nose. Lie down and tilt your head back. Breathe through your mouth. Insert the dropper tip in the nose no more than 1/3 inch. Try not to touch the dropper tip to the inside of your nose. Place the correct number of drops in your nose. Continue to lie down with your head tilted back for 2 minutes.
To use a nose spray, gently blow your nose. Sit down and tilt your head back slightly. Place the tip of the spray container into the nose. Using a finger from your other hand, press against the opposite nostril to close it off. Breathe gently through the open nostril and squeeze the spray container. If you are using more than 1 spray, wait for 1 to 2 minutes between sprays. After using the medicine, rinse the tip of the spray unit in hot water and dry with a clean tissue to prevent contamination.
If you miss a dose of Oxymetazoline Solution and are using it regularly, use it as soon as possible. If it is much more than 1 hour since your missed dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not use 2 doses at once.
