Product overview
Nasal Spray (Lavender) is a rhinitis nasal spray manufactured and marketed by Sato Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. It combines the vasoconstrictor naphazoline hydrochloride with the antiallergic ingredient chlorpheniramine maleate to constrict blood vessels in the nasal passages, help suppress congestion and inflammation, and ease symptoms of stuffy nose, runny nose, sneezing, and heavy-headed feeling. A key feature is its ability to address rhinitis symptoms from a wide range of causes, including acute rhinitis (nasal cold), allergic rhinitis, and sinusitis. This is a type formulated with a refreshing lavender scent, aimed at those who value a pleasant feel when spraying. It uses a hygienic anti-backflow pump so a consistent amount can be sprayed through to the end.
