What is a nasal spray?
A nasal spray is a device that delivers medication or saline directly into the nasal passages, providing targeted relief for various nasal and sinus conditions. They’re commonly used to alleviate symptoms such as congestion, runny nose and irritation caused by colds, allergies or environmental factors.
Nasal sprays come in different formulations, including saline solutions, decongestants, antihistamines and corticosteroids. A nasal wash (also called nasal irrigation) is a similar product or method that involves rinsing nasal passages with a saline solution.
What are the different types of nasal sprays?
Nasal sprays are available in various types, each formulated to address specific concerns:
Saline nasal sprays contain a saltwater solution designed to help moisturise dry nasal passages, thin mucus and flush out irritants. They are generally gentle and can be used daily to maintain nasal hygiene.
Decongestant nasal sprays are designed to reduce nasal congestion and provide quick relief from a stuffy nose. These medicated sprays should not be used for more than a few days, so it’s best to check with a healthcare professional before using them.
Antihistamine nasal sprays target nasal allergy symptoms by blocking histamines, which are substances in the body that cause allergic reactions. They may help reduce sneezing, itching and runny noses.
Corticosteroid nasal sprays reduce inflammation and help alleviate symptoms like congestion, sneezing and runny nose. They are generally a once-a-day spray.
Why use a nasal spray?
Using a nasal spray may do more than just clear a stuffy nose! Research shows that both gel-based and saline nasal sprays may help shorten the duration of respiratory infections and even reduce the need for antibiotics.
Using a saline nasal spray regularly can also help flush out pollutants, pollen and viruses, keeping your nasal passages clean and supporting better respiratory health. Plus, if you’re dealing with congestion, a runny nose or irritation, a nasal spray can provide quick, targeted relief, helping you feel more comfortable throughout the day.
Can nasal sprays be used every day?
Some nasal sprays are designed to be used daily, while others (such as medicated sprays) should be used only for a few days. Be sure to follow the instructions on the label and consult a healthcare professional about the appropriate use of nasal sprays.
Do nasal sprays have any side effects?
Nasal sprays are generally very safe, but some people may experience mild side effects from medicated sprays such as decongestants. These might include headaches, nausea, dizziness, sleep issues or heart palpations. Speak to a healthcare professional if you have any concerns.
It’s also important to consult a healthcare professional if you have other health concerns, take medication or are pregnant or breastfeeding.
