Is it allowed to take Oxymetazoline during lactation?
Is it safe for a nursing mother and a child?

Sympathomimetic drug that is topically used for treatment of nose or the eye. A fecha de última actualización no encontramos datos publicados en relación con la lactancia. A small dose together with a low plama level of most nasal and ophthalmologic compounds make that a significant excretion into breast milk would be unlikely. Avoid over dosage and do not use it for longer than 3 days: as any other adrenergic-agonist drug, when absorbed, it may be a cause of side effects (vascular hyper-hypotension, irritability, heart arrhythmia) on both the mother and the infant.

This medication is horrible. My nose and throat burn so bad! I will never buy it again, in fact it’s in my garbage can. No amount of flushing with normal saline has helped to ease the burning.

ABSOLUTELY HORRIFIC!!!! It cleared my sinuses alright, to the point of feeling like a chemical burn in my sinuses and throat for UP TO A FULL DAY after using!!!
