Get a nasal spray inhaler at the best price

With nearly millions of microorganisms entering your system through the nasal passage daily, nose congestion is a common issue. In such cases, consider using a nasal spray as it clears your nasal passage faster than pills or other medications.

Apollo Pharmacy offers a variety of choices between inhalers or saline solutions for nasal congestion. Not every spray works similarly because the product differs for allergies and congestion.

A decongestant nasal spray mainly consists of oxymetazoline hydrochloride and phenylephrine hydrochloride. These solutions reduce the swelling in nasal tissues caused by swollen blood vessels.

An antihistamine or steroid nasal spray helps with allergic reactions. The symptoms include a running nose, sneezing, congestion, and itching in the nasal passage.

Using nasal sprays

Decongestant and allergy solutions usually come in pump bottles, inhalers, roll-ons, and diffusers. All of them have their own set of instructions to follow. However, there are some general pointers that you need to keep in mind:

  • Always have tissues on hand to wipe off extra fluid 
  • Clear your nasal passage manually by blowing both the nostrils and removing any extra mucus
  • Sanitise your hands and use a clean towel to avoid any further allergic reaction
  • Shake the nasal spray gently to mix the solutions inside 
  • If one of your nostrils is congested, then close the other one by pressing and inserting the tip of the bottle
  • Squeeze the bottle to release the content inside your nose and breathe in deeply to inhale the solution 
  • Repeat the steps as per the directions of your physician

Benefits of using a steam inhaler

Many people may not be comfortable with a nasal inhaler. In such cases, treating your congestion with a vaporiser is a good option.

A vaporiser is a portable machine that generates steam through which you can inhale the medicine. Here are some benefits of using a vaporiser:

  • The moist heat treatment is one of the best ways to kill pathogenic microbes
  • It not only decongests the nasal passage but also gives long-term relief
  • If you use this treatment before bed, it helps you sleep better 
  • The steam also clears the skin and flushes out any toxic substances in the pores
