A member asked:
Can someone tell me how long will my dependence on nasal spray last after i stopped using it for good?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nasal spray: I assume you are talking about an over the counter decongestant nasal spray? The effect will usually wear off in a few weeks. Prescription nasal sprays on the other hand do not cause dependence but your nasal symptoms will recur if you stop it.
