- The medicine itself can lead to a feeling of nasal congestion. If you try to eliminate this feeling with the help of this product, you run the risk of permanently damaging the nasal mucosa. The effect can occur after just 5-7 days of use.
- There may be drugs with which interactions occur. You should therefore generally inform your doctor or pharmacist of any other medicine you are already using before starting treatment with a new medicine. This also applies to medicines that you buy yourself, use only occasionally or have been using for some time.
How does the ingredient of the medicine work?

The active ingredient contracts the dilated veins in the mucous membrane of the nose and eyeball. This reduces the excessive blood flow to the olfactory and visual organs and reduces swelling of the mucous membrane. Patients can breathe more freely through their nose again. In addition, it no longer runs constantly. Annoying redness and non-specific irritation in the eyes disappear.
