Otrivin is an alpha‑2‑adrenergic agonist that reduces nasal airway resistance in several upper‑respiratory conditions.

- Common cold: temporary relief of nasal congestion. - Acute sinusitis: decreases swelling of the nasal mucosa. - Allergic rhinitis: eases blockage caused by allergic inflammation. - Nasal surgery recovery: helps maintain airway patency post‑operatively.

Adverse reactions are generally mild and related to local irritation of the nasal mucosa.

Common Side Effects: - Burning sensation: mild burning or stinging at the application site. - Nasal dryness: dryness or crusting inside the nose. - Sneezing: transient sneezing after spray use. - Headache: mild headache in some users. - Epistaxis: occasional nosebleeds. - Taste disturbance: altered taste perception.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Severe nasal irritation: intense burning or ulceration. - Rebound congestion: worsening nasal blockage after prolonged use. - Allergic reaction: rash, itching, swelling or difficulty breathing. - Hypertension: elevated blood pressure in susceptible individuals. - Cardiac arrhythmia: irregular heartbeat in rare cases. - Anaphylaxis: life‑threatening systemic allergic response.

Before using Otrivin, consider the following safety measures:

- Age restriction: not recommended for children under 6 years without medical advice. - Duration limit: limit usage to 3‑7 days to avoid rebound congestion. - Pre‑existing conditions: use cautiously in patients with hypertension, heart disease, diabetes mellitus. - Pregnancy and lactation: consult the professional for risk assessment before use. - Drug interactions: review concomitant nasal medications before use. - Store at room temperature: keep in the original container, protect from moisture and direct sunlight.
