Otrivin Original 0.1% Adult Nasal Drops 10ml

Description

Otrivin Original 0.1% Adult Nasal Drops is a medicated nasal decongestant solution designed to provide fast and effective relief from nasal blockage. It contains xylometazoline hydrochloride (0.1%), a topical vasoconstrictor that works by narrowing the blood vessels in the nasal passages. This action reduces swelling and congestion, allowing easier breathing through the nose.

The drops act within 2–5 minutes and can provide relief for up to 10–12 hours, making them suitable for both daytime and nighttime use.
