sinex spray

Sinex sprays are described as relieving nasal congestion, sinus congestion and pressure, and a stuffy nose.

Labels advise consulting a doctor if you have diabetes, are pregnant or nursing, or have thyroid disease, high blood pressure, heart disease, or urination problems. Products also recommend keeping them out of reach of children, and some items are not intended for children under six.

Most medicated Sinex sprays list oxymetazoline hydrochloride as the active decongestant. Baby or saline mist options list saline (purified isotonic saline) as the active ingredient.

Directions for severe decongestant variants state use for adults and children 6 years and older, typically 2–3 sprays in each nostril, not more often than every 10–12 hours, and not exceeding two doses in 24 hours. These products are not intended for continuous daily use.
