About Oxymet Nasal Spray

Oxymet Nasal Spray is used to treat nasal congestion (stuffy nose) caused by hay fever (allergic rhinitis), common colds, flu, sinusitis, or other allergic conditions. Nasal congestion, also known as a stuffy nose, occurs when the nasal passages become swollen with excess mucus and fluid.

Oxymet Nasal Spray contains Oxymetazoline Hydrochloride, a nasal decongestant that works by contracting and narrowing the blood vessels in the linings of the nasal passages. Thus, Oxymet Nasal Spray provides relief from congestion and decreases mucus production.

Some people may experience irritation/dryness of the nasal mucosa, a local burning sensation, headache, and nausea. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and resolve on their own over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.
