What Does Otrivin Plus nasal spray Do?
Otrivin Plus is a dual-action nasal spray for both blocked nose and runny nose, with a well-established decongestant plus anticholinergic combination. It’s practical for short-term symptom relief, but the decongestant means it should be used carefully and not for extended periods.

Overview
•This combines xylometazoline with ipratropium, so it can be effective for congestion and rhinorrhoea, but both ingredients can cause local nasal irritation or dryness.
•Use only as directed and avoid prolonged use of xylometazoline-containing sprays, as frequent or extended use can lead to rebound congestion.
•Extra caution is needed if you have high blood pressure, heart disease, glaucoma, thyroid disease, prostate enlargement, or urinary retention, because nasal decongestants can worsen these conditions.
•May interact with MAO inhibitors, tricyclic antidepressants, or other sympathomimetic decongestants; check with a clinician before combining.
•Not suitable for children under 18 years per the label instructions, and pregnancy/breastfeeding use should be discussed with a healthcare professional.
•Contains excipients including glycerol and disodium edetate; no major allergen is declared from the listed ingredients, but sensitivity to nasal sprays can still occur.
