About Nikeson Nasal Spray

Nikeson Nasal Spray is used to treat allergic rhinitis symptoms (inflammation of the nose's inner mucous membrane), such as sneezing, runny nose, and sinus discomfort in adults and children above six years.

Nikeson Nasal Spray works by blocking certain chemical messengers present in the brain, causing pain, inflammation (swelling), and allergies. As a result, the Nikeson Nasal Spray provides relief from the discomfort and irritation in the nose caused due to allergies.

The most common side effects are nasal ulceration, headache, shortness of breath, soreness, or dryness inside the nose. If these effects appear and are bothersome, call your doctor.

Do not use Nikeson Nasal Spray if you are allergic to any of its components. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult your doctor before using this medicine. Do not use Nikeson Nasal Spray in children below six years old.
