Question 2

what are the dangers of overusing nasal spray?

Accepted Answer

Good question: If you are habitually using OTC nasal sprays such as neo-synephrine or afrin, you will within weeks develop what is called rhinitis medicamentosa.  This is an inflammation of the mucous membrane of the nose in which rebound is common.  That means every time you use the nasal spray, you will become worse, sometimes for a very long period of time.  If steroids are being used and not helpful,see ENT.

Saline only: Spray saline into your nostrils frequently to flush out allergens and irritants. You will get the best care in a long term relationship with a provider who knows you over time. Discuss this with that provider.

Question 5

why was nasal spray 4-way taken off the market?

Accepted Answer

?: This isn't the first time, several reasons: some Novartis products were cited byFDA and recalled, others claim that OTC decongestants in general were withdrawn, unlikely. At any rate alternatives are available/other generic brands please read the labels carefully. If you really suffer and need the 4 way or other decongestant more often, you better see an ENT/Allergist, check aaaai.org or acaai.org

what would be the best way to get off nasal spray?
