Nasal Decongestants

Nasal decongestants are medications that help reduce swelling in the blood vessels of the nasal passages, making it easier to breathe when you have a stuffy nose. They work by constricting the blood vessels, which decreases inflammation and lessens congestion. These medications can be found in sprays, tablets, or liquids and are commonly used for temporary relief from colds, allergies, or sinus infections. However, they should be used as directed and not for prolonged periods, as overuse can cause rebound congestion and other side effects.
