The Dangers of Long-Term Nasal Decongestant Spray Use

The Dangers of Long-Term Nasal Decongestant Spray Use Side Effects 1 Views • 4 months ago

Topical decongestants are typically used to relieve nasal congestion due to allergic rhinitis, acute or chronic rhinosinusitis, nasal polyps, or upper respiratory tract infections. However, long-term use of these nasal decongestants can cause rebound swelling of the nasal mucosa. This is called Rhinitis medicamentosa. And is classified as a subset of drug-induced rhinitis. The earliest nasal decongestants mainly derived from ephedrine showed rhinitis medicamentosa developing as early as 3 days after use and up to 4 to 6 weeks after use. All pharmacists therefore advise patients not to use decongestant sprays for more than 2 weeks.
