Why is Otrivin prescribed?

Otrivin, which contains the active ingredient Xylometazoline, is primarily prescribed as a nasal decongestant. It is used to relieve nasal congestion caused by conditions such as colds, sinusitis, and allergies.

What does it do?

Otrivin (Xylometazoline Hcl) works as a nasal decongestant by targeting adrenergic receptors in the nasal mucosa. Specifically, it stimulates alpha-adrenergic receptors, leading to vasoconstriction of the blood vessels in the nasal passages. This reduces swelling and congestion, allowing for easier breathing. Additionally, it can also be used to facilitate medical procedures like rhinoscopy (examination of the nasal cavity) and as a pre- or post-operative adjunct.

How should I take it?

Otrivin is typically administered as a nasal spray or drops in each nostril every 8 to 10 hours. Here are some general guidelines for its use:
  • Preparation: Gently blow your nose to clear the nasal passages.
  • For Nasal Spray: Hold the bottle upright, insert the nozzle into one nostril, and spray while inhaling gently. Repeat for the other nostril.
It's important to always follow the instructions provided by your doctor or the product label. Usually, it is recommended to use Otrivin no more than 2-3 times a day and not for longer than 7 consecutive days to avoid rebound congestion.

What if I missed a dose?

If you miss a dose of Otrivin, you can simply skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not double up or use extra medication to make up for the missed dose, as this could increase the risk of side effects or complications like rebound congestion.

What are the special precautions before taking Otrivin?

Before taking Otrivin, here are several important precautions to keep in mind:.

  • Do not use Otrivin if you are allergic to Xylometazoline or any ingredients of this medication.
  • Avoid using Otrivin if you have narrow-angle glaucoma, rhinitis sicca (dry nasal passages), or are currently taking monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) due to potential severe interactions.
  • Do not use Otrivin for more than 3-7 consecutive days, as prolonged use can lead to rebound congestion or rhinitis medicamentosa.
  • Refrain from sharing this medication with others, even if they have the same condition, as it could potentially be harmful to them.
  • If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult your doctor before using this medication, as its safety during these stages has not been well-established.
  • Exercise caution if you have hypertension, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, or thyroid disorders, as Otrivin may exacerbate these conditions.
  • Use in children should be under medical supervision, as they are more sensitive to potential side effects.

Does it have any side effects?

It is important to note that all drugs have corresponding side effects and adverse reactions. Additional information may be obtained when you ask your doctor or pharmacist.
    Common side effects may include:
  • Burning and stinging senstation of the nose
  • Dryness in the nose
  • Sneezing
  • Mild irritation in the nasal passage
    Serious side effects may include:
  • Blurred vision or dizziness
  • Difficulty breathing.
  • Rapid, or irregular heartbeat
  • Swelling of the face, tongue, or throat
  • Rebound congestion (worsening nasal congestion after prolonged use)
This is not a complete list of all possible side effects, and others may occur. For more information about side effects, please consult your healthcare provider.

Is it safe to take it with another drug?

While drugs taken orally or via injection are unlikely to impact Otrivin (Xylometazoline Hcl) nasal use, it may still interact with certain medications. Therefore, it is crucial to exercise caution and consult your doctor or pharmacist before use.

Avoid using Otrivin with Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) or within 14 days of stopping them, as this can lead to a dangerous increase in blood pressure. Also, be cautious when combining Otrivin with other sympathomimetic drugs such as pseudoephedrine or medications that affect blood pressure, as this may amplify cardiovascular effects.

How should I store it?

Otrivin (Xylometazoline Hcl) should be stored in its original container at room temperature, ideally between 15°C and 30°C (59°F to 86°F). Keep it away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children and pets.

What action should I take in case of overdose?

If you suspect an overdose of Otrivin (Xylometazoline Hcl), it's important to act quickly and seek immediate medical attention. Contact emergency services or go to the nearest hospital. Symptoms of an overdose may include severe dizziness, rapid or irregular heartbeat, high blood pressure, or difficulty breathing.

Is it safe for pregnant or breastfeeding women?

The safety of Otrivin for pregnant or breastfeeding women is not well established. Limited data is available on whether the active ingredient, Xylometazoline, can harm an unborn baby or if it passes into breast milk. Therefore, to minimize any potential risks to the baby, it’s important to consult your healthcare provider before using Otrivin.

Canadian Prescription Drug Store dispenses medications from our fully licensed and independently verified pharmacy partners around the world from Canada, England, Australia, New Zealand, India, and Mauritius.

Legal disclaimer: The FDA, due to the current state of their regulations, has taken the position that virtually all shipments of prescription drugs imported from a Canadian online pharmacy by a U.S. consumer will violate the law. However, many legal experts disagree with the FDA's position in this regard stating that such importation is permitted under certain federal and state laws. Several State governments and consumer rights groups actively promote the importation of medications. The FDA itself provides the public information on how to import medications safely. Furthermore, there is no record of any US individual being prosecuted by the FDA for importing non-controlled prescription drugs for their personal use.
