  1. Package contents and additional information

1. What Rhinospray antiallergic is and what it is used for

It is a nasal decongestant medication that contains tramazoline and chlorphenamine as active ingredients. Tramazoline, administered in the nose, produces a local constriction of blood vessels, decongesting the nasal mucosa, and chlorphenamine, an antihistamine that relieves nasal secretion.

This medication is indicated for the local and temporary relief of nasal congestion and secretion in allergic rhinitis in adults and children from 6 years old.

You should consult a doctor if your symptoms worsen or do not improve after 3 days of treatment.

  • If you are being treated with medications for depression and medications for blood pressure disorders.
  • It is not recommended to use this medication for more than 3 days. If symptoms do not disappear within 3 days, you should consult a doctor.
  • The continued use of nasal congestion medications can cause chronic inflammation and atrophy of the nasal mucous membrane, and therefore nasal blockage. If you have chronic nasal obstruction, you should consult your doctor and not continue using the medication on your own initiative.
  • When the effect of the medication decreases, a rebound inflammation of the nasal mucosa may appear.
  • It may be harmful to repeat use over long periods, as it can lead to sensitization phenomena. In this case, treatment should be suspended or consulted with the doctor.
  • It should be administered with care to avoid eye irritation.
  • Elderly patients should consult their doctor or pharmacist due to the risk of urinary retention. They may be more likely to experience: dizziness, sedation, confusion, and hypotension; they are especially susceptible to the anticholinergic effects of antihistamines, such as dry mouth and urinary retention.
  • Do not exceed the recommended dose.
