6. Contents of the package and additional information

Rhinovín Duo is an association of 2 active principles: ipratropium which reduces nasal secretion and xylometazoline which has a decongestant effect.

Rhinovín Duo is used for the treatment of nasal congestion and runny nose (rhinorrhea) related to the common cold.

Do not use Rhinovin Duo:

• In children under 18 years, as there is not enough information available
• If you are allergic to xylometazoline hydrochloride or ipratropium bromide or to any of the other components of this medication (listed in section 6)
• If you are allergic to atropine or similar substances, e.g. hyoscyamine and scopolamine
• If you have had a surgical operation, through the nose, to remove the pituitary gland
• If you have undergone surgical intervention of the brain through the nose or mouth
• If you have glaucoma (elevated intraocular pressure)
• If you suffer from severe nasal dryness (inflammatory nasal dryness, dry rhinitis, or atrophic rhinitis)

Warnings and precautions

Rhinovin Duo may cause sleep disturbances, dizziness, tremors, irregular heart rhythm, or increased blood pressure in case of sensitivity to nasal decongestant medications. Consult your doctor if these symptoms occur and are bothersome.

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before using Rhinovín Duo if you have:

- Any cardiovascular disease (e.g. long QT syndrome)

- High blood pressure

- Diabetes

- Hyperthyroidism (elevated thyroid hormone release)

- Difficulty urinating and/or prostate hypertrophy

- Narrow-angle glaucoma

- Predisposition to nasal bleeding

- Intestinal obstruction (paralytic ileus)

- Cystic fibrosis

- Benign adrenal gland tumor that produces large amounts of adrenaline and noradrenaline (pheochromocytoma) or exceptional sensitivity to adrenaline and noradrenaline

A hypersensitivity reaction may occur, manifesting as a red, itchy rash, elevated skin inflammation (urticaria), difficulty breathing or speaking, difficulty swallowing due to lip, face, or throat inflammation. These symptoms may appear individually or in combination as a severe allergic reaction. If this occurs, discontinue Rhinovín Duo immediately (see section 4).

Rhinovín Duo cannot be used for more than 7 consecutive days. If symptoms persist, consult your doctor. Prolonged use or excessive dosing may cause nasal congestion as a rebound effect, or worsening of this symptom, and nasal mucosa inflammation.

Avoid spraying Rhinovin Duo around the eyes. If this occurs, rinse the eyes with cold water. You may experience temporary blurred vision, irritation, pain, and redness in the eyes. If this occurs, consult your doctor for advice. This may also worsen narrow-angle glaucoma.

Children and adolescents

The use of Rhinovín Duo in children and adolescents under 18 years is not recommended, as there is not enough information available on safety and efficacy.

Use of Rhinovín Duo with other medications

Inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are using or have used recently or may need to use any other medication. Rhinovin Duo may influence or be influenced by:

• Monamine oxidase inhibitors, used for the treatment of depression. If you are taking or have taken this type of medication in the last two weeks, a dangerous increase in blood pressure may occur.
• Tricyclic and tetracyclic antidepressants (if you are taking or have taken this type of medication in the last two weeks, dangerous increases in blood pressure may occur).
• Medications used to reduce motion sickness in transportation (medications containing anticholinergic substances).
• Medications used to treat intestinal disorders (particularly those used to treat altered intestinal motility) (medications containing anticholinergic substances).
• Medications used to treat respiratory disorders (Beta-2-agonists) such as asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), as they may worsen your glaucoma if you have a history of narrow-angle glaucoma.

If you are using any of the medications mentioned above, consult your doctor before using Rhinovin Duo.

Pregnancy and lactation

Rhinovin Duo should not be used during pregnancy unless your doctor has prescribed it. During lactation, do not use Rhinovín Duo unless your doctor decides that the benefits outweigh the possible risks for the baby.

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or think you may be pregnant, or plan to become pregnant, consult your doctor or pharmacist before using this medication.

Driving and operating machinery

Visual disturbances (including blurred vision and mydriasis), dizziness, and fatigue have been reported with the administration of Rhinovín Duo. Warn patients that if they are affected by these symptoms, they should not drive, operate machinery, or participate in certain activities as they may put themselves and others at risk.

Follow exactly the medication administration instructions contained in this leaflet or those indicated by your doctor or pharmacist. In case of doubt, ask your doctor or pharmacist.

The recommended dose is:

Adults: One spray in each nasal passage as needed, up to 3 sprays per day at maximum for 7 days. At least 6 hours should elapse between each dose. No more than 3 applications per day should be made in each nasal passage.

Do not exceed the established dose, use the lowest dose needed to treat your symptoms, and use it for the shortest time necessary to achieve the desired effect.

Treatment duration:

Do not use this medication for more than 7 days.

It is recommended to discontinue treatment with Rhinovín Duo as soon as symptoms have improved, even before the maximum treatment duration of 7 days, in order to minimize the risk of adverse reactions.

If symptoms worsen or do not improve after 7 days, consult your doctor.

If you think the effect of Rhinovín Duo is too strong or too weak, consult with your doctor or pharmacist.

Usage instructions:

Vertical pump action with two fingers:

• Remove the cap
• Do not cut the end of the valve. The dosing valve is prepared to be actuated before use

Before the first application, load the pump by actuating it 4 times. Once loaded, the pump remains loaded through normal daily use during the treatment period. If the spray does not eject during actuation, or if the medication has not been used for more than 6 days, the pump must be reloaded by actuating it 4 times, just like before the first application.

1. Blow your nose.

2. Hold the bottle with the thumb under the base and the nozzle between the two fingers.

3. Lean forward slightly and insert the nozzle into one of the nasal passages.

4. Press the sprayer while breathing in gently through the nose.

5. Repeat this procedure (steps 1 to 4) in the other nasal passage.

6. Clean and dry the nozzle before replacing the cap after use.

Lateral pump action with the thumb:

Remove the cap.

Before using for the first time

Prime the pump by actuating it 5 times. Once primed, the pump will remain loaded normally throughout the daily treatment period.

1. Blow your nose.
2. Hold the bottle vertically with the thumb on the actuation button.
3. To avoid dripping, remain upright and insert the spray nozzle into a nasal passage.
4. Pulse the button to spray and breathe in gently through the nose at the same time.

Repeat this process (steps 2 to 4) in the other nasal passage.

1. After each use, clean and dry the nozzle.
2. Replace the protective cap until you hear a "click".

If the spray does not eject during actuation, or if the medication has not been used for more than 7 days, the pump will need to be reprimed by actuating it 2 times.

If the full dose is not administered, do not repeat the dose.

To avoid possible infection dissemination, the spray should be used only by one person. Avoid spraying Rhinovin Duo around the eyes.

The effect appears within 5-15 minutes.
