Otrivin 0.1% Nasal Spray Menthol 10ml

Description

Otrivin Menthol 0.1% Adult Nasal Spray is a topical nasal decongestant formulated to provide rapid and long-lasting relief from nasal blockage. It contains xylometazoline hydrochloride (0.1%), a powerful vasoconstrictor, combined with menthol, which produces a cooling and soothing sensation in the nasal passages.

The spray works directly on the lining of the nose by constricting swollen blood vessels, reducing inflammation, and clearing excess mucus. This helps to open blocked nasal airways quickly—often within minutes—and maintain relief for up to 10–12 hours.
