Decon P

Indications:

• Nasal Congestion Relief: Decon P Nasal Solution 0.25 mg is used to relieve nasal congestion caused by colds, allergies, or sinusitis. It helps to reduce swelling in the nasal passages, easing breathing difficulties.
• Sinus Pressure Reduction: This nasal solution also helps alleviate the discomfort and pressure associated with blocked sinuses, improving airflow.
• Temporary Relief: It is designed for short-term use to offer relief from symptoms of nasal congestion and sinus pressure, typically associated with upper respiratory tract infections.

Dosage & Administration:

• Adults and Children (over 12 years): Typically, 1-2 sprays or drops in each nostril every 4-6 hours as needed.
• Children (under 12 years): Consult a healthcare professional before use, as the dosage may vary for younger patients.
• Instructions:
  • Nasal Spray: Hold the bottle upright, insert the nozzle into the nostril, and gently spray while inhaling lightly. Repeat the process for the other nostril as necessary.
  • Nasal Drops: Tilt your head back slightly, apply the drops into each nostril, and stay in position for a few minutes to allow the solution to work.
  • Frequency: Do not use for more than 3 consecutive days unless directed by a healthcare professional to avoid the risk of rebound congestion.

Precautions:

• Rebound Congestion: Prolonged use (more than 3 days) may lead to rebound congestion, worsening the nasal stuffiness once the medication is discontinued.
• Cardiovascular Caution: If you have heart conditions (like high blood pressure or arrhythmias) or thyroid issues, use the solution with caution, as the decongestant may affect your cardiovascular system.
