Respibien Freshmint 0.5 mg/ml Nasal Spray Solution 15 ml

Respibien Freshmint is a decongestant nasal spray that is part of the group of medicines known as sympathomimetics, which are effective in relieving nasal congestion caused by the common cold, sinusitis or allergic rhinitis. This medicine is available without prescription and can be purchased at any pharmacy, including accredited online shops such as Farmaciasdirect, which are authorised by the Spanish Medicines Agency to sell this type of product. Respibien Freshmint anti-allergy, in particular, is ideal for people who suffer from allergies as well as nasal congestion.

The active ingredient in Respibien Freshmint is oxymetazoline hydrochloride, a potent decongestant that acts locally to reduce swelling of the nasal mucosa, making breathing easier and relieving nasal congestion. Each millilitre of the spray contains 0.5 mg oxymetazoline hydrochloride, equivalent to 65 micrograms per spray. Other ingredients include benzalkonium chloride, glycine (E-640), povidone (E-1201), sorbitol (E-420) and purified water, which help to maintain the efficacy of the product.

For adults, adolescents and children over 6 years of age, it is recommended to apply Respibien Freshmint Nasal Spray with one spray in each nostril, no more than twice a day. It is important to follow these instructions to prevent side effects, such as dryness or irritation of the nose. Before using the medicine, it is essential to clean the nose thoroughly to remove any mucus or discharge, thus ensuring that the spray has direct contact with the nasal mucosa and works more effectively.

To load the spray for the first time, or if it has not been used for a long time, hold the container away from the body and press repeatedly until a fine spray comes out. After each use, wipe the end of the applicator with a damp cloth to avoid contamination and ensure that each bottle is only used by one person. If after three days of treatment symptoms persist or worsen, it is recommended that a doctor be consulted.

• Children: Respibien Freshmint should not be used in children under 6 years of age due to possible sensitivity of children's nasal mucous membranes and risks of side effects.
