Otrivine Menthol Abschwellend contains a nasal decongestant that acts on the upper‑respiratory tract to reduce swelling of the nasal mucosa. - Common cold: alleviates nasal blockage and improves airflow. - Acute sinusitis: decreases mucosal edema, facilitating sinus drainage. - Allergic rhinitis: reduces nasal congestion caused by seasonal allergens. - Nasal surgery recovery: helps maintain clear airways post‑operatively.

Side effects are generally mild and related to local irritation of the nasal mucosa.

Common Side Effects: - Nasal burning or stinging sensation. - Mild headache. - Dryness or crusting inside the nose. - Sneezing shortly after application. - Transient taste disturbance.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Persistent nasal irritation or ulceration. - Severe headache or facial pain. - Hypertension or increased heart rate. - Allergic reaction such as rash, itching or swelling. - Rebound congestion with prolonged use beyond recommended duration.
