Fast relief for stuffy and runny nose. A classic fragrance-free pump spray
Who It’s For & When to Use
Product Overview
Nasal “Spray” (Pump) 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 suitability for a wide range of rhinitis causes—acute rhinitis (head cold), allergic rhinitis, and sinusitis. It uses a metered-dose pump so that once sprayed, the liquid does not flow back into the container, for a hygienic design. It is a fragrance-free type for those who dislike scents or irritation.
