XYLOMIST P NASAL (Xylometazoline (0.05% w/v))

Xylomist-P Nasal Spray is designed to alleviate nasal congestion by clearing and soothing the blocked nasal passages commonly associated with conditions such as the common cold, hay fever, or various respiratory allergies in children. This medication is intended for nasal use only, so it must be administered according to the physician’s instructions. It is important to avoid contact with the tip of the spray nozzle when inserting it into your child’s nostril. If contact occurs, wash the tip with warm water and dry it with a clean tissue prior to sealing the container. For optimal results, close one nostril while administering the spray in the other, encouraging your child to sniff firmly to ensure the medication penetrates deeply. After treating one nostril, repeat the process with the other side. Relief is typically experienced within approximately two minutes, with effects lasting up to ten hours. For best results, it is advisable to administer the final dose just before bedtime. While this medication provides only temporary relief, it should not be used more frequently or for longer than advised, as prolonged use may lead to adverse effects. Conversely, ceasing the use abruptly may result in a rebound effect, causing the congestion to return more intensely and potentially aggravating your child’s condition. Although some mild side effects such as nasal irritation, dryness, nausea, headaches, or a burning sensation at the application site may occur, these symptoms generally diminish after a few uses. If any adverse effects persist or become troubling, it is essential to consult the child’s healthcare provider promptly. Always adhere to the directions provided by the doctor and those indicated on the packaging of the medication.
