Maxtra O Nasal Spray 10ml is administered nasally.

The Maxtra O Nasal Spray 10ml contains Oxymetazoline (0.05 %), which works on your body in the following ways:

• Stimulates Alpha Receptors: Oxymetazoline acts on the alpha receptors present in your nasal mucosa. These receptors respond to stimuli and initiate a response in your body.

• Reduces Inflammation: By stimulating these receptors, Oxymetazoline causes constriction and narrowing of the blood vessels in your nasal passages. This results in reduced blood flow, which helps decrease swelling and inflammation.

• Alleviates Nasal Congestion: The decrease in inflammation and swelling opens up the nasal passages, thereby relieving nasal congestion and making it easier for you to breathe through your nose.

• Store Maxtra O Nasal Spray 10ml at room temperature, ideally below 30°C.

• Keep away from direct sunlight and heat; don't refrigerate or freeze.

• Maintain the bottle tightly closed when not in use.

• Keep it beyond the reach of children.

• If you're managing hay fever with Maxtra O Nasal Spray 10ml, try to limit exposure to pollen. Stay indoors on high pollen count days, and consider wearing sunglasses outside to protect your eyes.

• For those using this nasal spray for a common cold, remember to stay well-hydrated. Drinking plenty of fluids can help keep the nasal mucus thin and aid in reducing congestion.
