Frequently asked questions

What is Ilvico Respir used for?+
Ilvico Respir is an over‑the‑counter nasal spray that contains oxymetazoline hydrochloride. It is used to temporarily relieve nasal congestion caused by the common cold, sinusitis, or allergic rhinitis by shrinking swollen blood vessels in the nasal passages.
How does oxymetazoline work?+
Oxymetazoline is a selective alpha‑adrenergic agonist. When applied to the nasal mucosa it activates alpha‑1 receptors, causing the blood vessels to constrict. This vasoconstriction reduces swelling and fluid buildup, allowing the airway to open and easing the feeling of a blocked nose.
What is the usual dose of Ilvico Respir?+
The exact dosing regimen is set by the prescribing healthcare professional. For most OTC products, the label advises one spray per nostril every 10‑12 hours, not exceeding two doses in a 24‑hour period, but the prescriber may adjust the frequency based on individual needs.
Is Ilvico Respir safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
The safety of oxymetazoline in pregnancy and lactation has not been definitively established. Women who are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding should discuss potential risks with their doctor before using Ilvico Respir.
How do I order Ilvico Respir from GNH USA?+
To place an order, submit an enquiry on the Ilvico Respir product page at gnh-usa.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH USA works with hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details and any required import documentation.
How does Ilvico Respir compare with other nasal decongestants?+
Ilvico Respir (oxymetazoline) provides rapid, topical vasoconstriction and typically lasts up to 12 hours per dose. Compared with phenylephrine, oxymetazoline has a longer duration of action and a lower incidence of systemic side effects, while pseudo‑ephedrine works systemically and may cause more cardiovascular effects.
How should Ilvico Respir be stored and handled?+
Store Ilvico Respir at room temperature, below 25 °C, in its original packaging. Keep the bottle tightly closed, protect it from moisture and direct sunlight, and keep it out of reach of children.
How is Ilvico Respir administered?+
Ilvico Respir is a nasal spray. The user tilts the head slightly forward, inserts the nozzle into one nostril, and depresses the pump to deliver a single spray. The same procedure is repeated in the other nostril if required, following the dosing instructions provided by the prescriber.
What are the most serious risks associated with Ilvico Respir?+
Serious risks include rebound nasal congestion (rhinitis medicamentosa) after prolonged use, severe hypertension, cardiac arrhythmias, and rare allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis. Patients should stop using the product if these symptoms occur and seek medical attention promptly.
Who should not use Ilvico Respir?+
Ilvico Respir should be avoided by individuals with severe hypertension, those taking monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), or anyone who has experienced an allergic reaction to oxymetazoline or other nasal decongestants. Children under six years of age should not use the product unless specifically directed by a healthcare professional.
