Then repeat for the other nostril. It provides relief very quickly and can last for several hours. If you use this medicine too often or for too long, it may worsen your symptoms rather than improve them.
The most common side effects are dryness in mouth, bitter taste, dry nose, nasal irritation, nasal discomfort, and sneezing These are usually mild but if they bother you or do not go away, your doctor may be able to suggest ways of preventing or reducing them.
