WARNINGS
In patients with cardiovascular diseases, especially in hypertensive, the use of nasal decongestants should be subjected from time to time. Benzalkonium chloride (BAC) contained as a preservative in the drug, especially when used for long periods, can cause swelling of the nasal mucosa. If such a reaction (persistent nasal congestion) is suspected, a BAC-free nasal medicine should be used if possible. If such nasal medications without BAC are not available, another pharmaceutical form should be considered. It can cause bronchospasm. Prolonged use of vasoconstrictors can alter the normal function of the mucous membrane of the nose and paranasal sinuses, also inducing addiction to the drug. Repeating applications for long periods can be harmful. During the first months of pregnancy and due to the danger of urinary retention in the elderly, the product can only be used after a medical consultation. The use, especially if prolonged, of topical products can give rise to sensitization phenomena; in this case it is necessary to interrupt the treatment and institute an adequate therapy. However, in the absence of a complete therapeutic response within a few days, consult your doctor; in any case, the treatment must not be continued for more than 4 days. Follow the recommended doses scrupulously. The product, if accidentally ingested or if used for a long time in excessive doses, can cause toxic phenomena. It should not be used orally.
