Miscellaneous

- The dosage depends on personal sensitivity and effect.
- In the case of longer use or higher amounts of the drug, effects with effects on the heart and vessels or central nervous effects cannot be ruled out. In these cases, the ability to carry a motor vehicle and to operate machines can be impaired.
- Longer or frequent use as well as higher amounts of the drug can lead to burning in the nose or dryness of the mucous membrane as well as a reactive swelling of the nasal mucosa with runny nose as a result (rhinitis medicamentosa). This effect can occur after 5-7-day treatment and, after continued application, cause permanent mucosal compensation with bark formation (rhinitis sicca).
- Especially with longer use and overdose of drugs swelling of mucosa, there may be an increased blood flow to the nasal mucosa. This effect leads to a narrowing of the air routes, with the result that the medicine is used repeatedly up to permanent use. The result is chronic swellings (rhinitis medicamentosa) up to the shrinkage of the nasal mucosa (stinnnut).
- In lighter cases, it can be considered to only stop the medicine on a nostril and switch to the other side after the complaints have subsided in order to maintain at least part of the nasal breathing.
- The use of chronic runny nose may therefore only be carried out under medical control due to the risk of the loss of the nasal mucosa.

- For hygienic reasons and to avoid infections, it is pointed out that each dosing spray may only be used by one and the same person.
