A member asked:
I was told that you can mix afrin and nasacort together, shake it up well after adding the afrin to the nasacort bottle. how many days in a row can you use that mixture without getting congested? they say there's no interaction?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I would never use Afrin more than 3 days in a row regardless of what you mix it with. The capillary spasm it produce must be given a rest for a few days or you will develop congestion as the affected capillaries break down.
