What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
Use up to 3 times per day and for no more than 7 consecutive days. Do not use the bottle for more than 28 days after opening. Follow the label, and consult a doctor if symptoms persist, if pregnant, taking other medicines or under a doctor's care. The listing is inconsistent about the product name, calling it both Congestion Relief and Fine Nasal Mist, and its manufacturer detail lists the brand as Otrivin while the title says Otrivine. Confirm the exact selected product and label before use.
