About Vilco Nasal Drops-A Nasal Spray

Vilco Nasal Drops-A 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 nasal passages become swollen with excess mucus and fluid.
