A member asked:
Can i take oxymetazoline (nasal spray) while taking amoxicillin?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Oxymetazoline should only be used for 3 to 5 days maximum. See your doctor if you still have significant nasal congestion after this time period.

There are no: interactions noted between Oxymetazoline and amoxicillin using a drug interaction checker. Do not use more than twice in a 24 hour period & limit use for 3 to 5 days to avoid rebound congestion.
