Nazar (Naphazoline Nitrate)

Naphazoline nitrate, the active ingredient in Nazar, is an alpha‑adrenergic agonist (imidazoline derivative) presented as a nasal formulation for nasal use. It relieves nasal congestion associated with the common cold, allergic rhinitis and sinusitis in adults and children.

GNH USA supplies Nazar as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, pharmacies and clinics worldwide.

Nazar acts as a topical nasal decongestant to reduce swelling of the nasal mucosa. - Nasal congestion due to common cold: provides rapid relief of blocked nose and improves airflow. - Allergic rhinitis: diminishes swelling caused by allergens, easing breathing and reducing nasal discharge. - Sinusitis: helps clear sinus passages by decreasing mucosal edema, supporting drainage and comfort.

Nazar may cause local and systemic reactions after nasal administration.

Common Side Effects: - Burning or stinging sensation in the nose. - Nasal dryness or irritation. - Sneezing shortly after use. - Mild headache.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Rebound congestion (rhinitis medicamentosa) with prolonged use. - Elevated blood pressure or tachycardia. - Cardiac arrhythmias in susceptible individuals.

Before using Nazar, consider the following safety measures. - Prolonged use: limit to no more than three consecutive days to avoid rebound congestion. - Hypertension: use with caution and monitor blood pressure. - Glaucoma: avoid if you have narrow‑angle glaucoma. - Pregnancy and breastfeeding: safety not established; consult a healthcare professional. - Children under 6 years: not recommended without medical advice. - Store at room temperature: keep in the original container, protect from moisture and direct sunlight.

Nazar can interact with other sympathomimetic agents and certain systemic medications.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs): may potentiate hypertensive effects. - Non‑selective beta‑blockers: can blunt the vasoconstrictive response and increase cardiovascular risk.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely):\n- Other nasal decongestants or oral sympathomimetics: may increase systemic adrenergic activity. - Antihypertensive drugs: monitor blood pressure for additive effects. - Alcohol: may enhance dizziness or hypotensive episodes.
