Nasal Decongestants হিসেবে অধিক পরিচিত & ব্যবহ্রত হয় Oxymetazoline_ যা বাজারে Afrin Nasal Drop নামে পাওয়া যায়।
অনেকে মুড়ির মতো use করে থাকে,আবার কেউ কেউ সব সময়ই পকেটে রেখে দেয়,যখন তখন যত খুশি ব্যবহার করে থাকেন,,তাদের জন্য ভবিষ্যতে রয়েছে লাল বাত্তি
কারন Afrin drop এর duration of their efficacy is limited because of Rebound Rhinitis
(7 to 14 দিন ব্যবহারের ফলে Rhinitis medicamentosa Develope করতে পারে।
তাই #5 দিন এর বেশি ব্যবহার করা ঠিক নয়।
তাই ৫ দিনের বেশি prescribed ও না করাই ভালো
