Otrivin Adult Plus Nasal Spray 10mL (S2)

Otrivin Adult Plus Nasal Spray provides rapid, long-lasting relief from nasal congestion caused by colds, sinusitis, allergies, or hayfever. Formulated with both a decongestant and a soothing ingredient, it works within minutes to clear blocked noses and ease breathing, while helping to moisturise nasal passages and prevent dryness.

The dual-action formula combines xylometazoline hydrochloride—a fast-acting vasoconstrictor—with ipratropium bromide, which reduces excess nasal secretions. Together, they help you breathe freely day or night, restoring comfort and clarity without over-drying the nose.

Ideal for adults seeking targeted nasal relief with quick onset and up to 10 hours of effectiveness.
