How Oxynex 0.05% works
Oxynex 0.05% is a nasal decongestant. It works by narrowing the small blood vessels in the inner surface of the nose. This provides temporary relief from congestion or stuffiness in the nose.
Quick Tips
It works right away and each dose provides relief for up to 12 hours.
The right way to use the nasal spray:
Avoid deep breathing as it will cause medication to go back to the throat and make it less effective.
Do not share the bottle with anyone else so that you do not spread germs.
Oxynex 0.05% can make nasal congestion worse if used for more than 3 or 4 days in a row (called rebound congestion).
