Decongestants

Decongestants are medications used to relieve nasal congestion, often caused by colds, allergies, or sinus infections. They work by constricting blood vessels in the nasal passages, reducing swelling and allowing air to flow more freely. Common forms include oral tablets or nasal sprays. While they can effectively provide temporary relief, overuse, especially of nasal sprays, can lead to rebound congestion. It's important to follow dosage instructions and consult a healthcare provider if symptoms persist, as decongestants may not be suitable for everyone, particularly those with certain health conditions or taking specific medications.
