1. What Otrivin is and what it is used for?
Otrivin is used for various types of colds. It is designed to be
applied in the nostrils, where it exerts
a vasoconstricting effect thereby decongesting the mucosae of the nose
and the throat.
This effect allows patients with colds to breathe more easily through
the nose. The action of
Otrivin is felt within a few minutes and lasts for several hours.
