If such a reaction (persistent nasal congestion) is suspected, a nasal medicine without benzalkonium chloride should be used if possible. If such nasal medicines without benzalkonium chloride are not available, another pharmaceutical form should be considered. May cause bronchospasm.

PREGNANCY AND BREASTFEEDING

If you are pregnant or breast-feeding, think you may be pregnant or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor for advice before taking Narhimed Blocked Nose 1mg/1ml Adults Nasal Spray 10 ml

Pregnancy: in view of its potential systemic vasoconstrictor effect, it is advisable to take the precaution of not using Narhimed naso chiusa during pregnancy. Breastfeeding: there is no evidence of adverse effects on the breast-fed infant. However, it is not known whether xylometazoline is excreted in breast milk, therefore caution should be exercised and Narhimed naso chiusa should be used during breastfeeding only under medical advice. Fertility: there are no adequate data on the effects of Narhimed naso chiusa on fertility and no animal studies are available. Since systemic exposure to xylometazoline hydrochloride is very low, effects on fertility are therefore very unlikely.
