Otriven Dosierspray Ohne Konservierungsstoffe Für Kinder Von 2 Bis 12 Jahren (Xylometazoline Hydrochloride)

Xylometazoline nasal spray acts on the nasal mucosa to reduce congestion in several pediatric conditions.

• Common cold: alleviates nasal blockage and improves breathing comfort.
• Allergic rhinitis: decreases swelling of nasal passages caused by allergens.
• Sinusitis (acute): helps open nasal airways during the early phase of sinus inflammation.

• Xylometazoline hydrochloride is an alpha‑adrenergic agonist that selectively stimulates alpha‑1 and alpha‑2 receptors in the nasal mucosal blood vessels. This stimulation causes vasoconstriction, reducing blood flow and edema in the nasal lining, which leads to decreased congestion and improved airflow.

Adverse reactions are generally mild and related to local irritation of the nasal mucosa.

Common Side Effects

• Burning sensation: mild burning or stinging in the nose.
• Nasal dryness: dryness of the nasal passages.
• Sneezing: transient sneezing after application.
• Headache: mild headache following use.
• Epistaxis: occasional minor nosebleeds.
• Irritation: irritation of the throat if spray drips posteriorly.

Serious or Rare Side Effects

• Rebound congestion: worsening nasal blockage after prolonged use.
• Severe allergic reaction: rash, itching, swelling, or difficulty breathing.
• Hypertension: elevated blood pressure in susceptible individuals.
• Cardiac arrhythmia: irregular heart rhythm in rare cases.
• Persistent nasal ulceration: ulcer formation in the nasal mucosa.
• Vision changes: blurred vision if spray contacts the eyes.

When using this pediatric nasal spray, follow these safety considerations:

• Age restriction: only use in children 2‑12 years as indicated.
• Duration limit: limit use to no more than 3‑days continuously to avoid rebound congestion.
• Pre‑existing conditions: avoid if the child has severe hypertension or heart disease.
• Concomitant nasal medications: do not combine with other topical decongestants.
• Monitoring: watch for signs of irritation or allergic reaction and discontinue if they occur.
• Store at ambient temperature: keep below 25 °C, in the original container, protected from moisture and direct sunlight.
