Description
What is VICKS Sinex and when is it used?
VICKS Sinex is a solution for treating swollen nasal mucosa to make it easier to breathe through the nasal passages when you have a cold. VICKS Sinex dosing spray contains oxymetazoline hydrochloride. Applied in the nose, VICKS Sinex constricts the blood vessels there and thereby causes the nasal mucosa to decongest. This makes breathing through the nose easier and reduces mucus secretion. The effect usually starts within 5-10 minutes and lasts about 6 hours.
When should VICKS Sinex not be used?
It must not be used in children under 6 years of age and in case of hypersensitivity to oxymetazoline or any of the other ingredients. Do not use in case of inflammation of the nasal mucosa (rhinitis sicca), inflammation or skin damage in the area of the nostrils and if you have narrow-angle glaucoma (glaucoma).
When should you be careful when using VICKS Sinex?
Inform your doctor if you have chronic nasal problems. VICKS Sinex must not be used for more than 5-7 days without medical advice, as prolonged use can cause damage to the nasal mucosa or inflammation of the nasal mucosa, with symptoms of a cold.
