A member asked:
I used too much oxymetazoline hydrocloride (0.05%) nasal spray and i am pregnant, should i consult midwife?

Consult a doctor: You will likely need to take a short course of Prednisone to help wean you off of the spray and may even need a rx spray to control the nasal congestion which got you started on the oxymetazoline spray overuse in the first place.
