Vicks Sinex Nasal Spray

...and purchased a bottle of Vicks Sinex Nasal Spray for £2.49. The beauty of this product is that it is simple to use and the results are almost immediate. However this product must be used with caution… please read on and you will see why. Vicks Sinex comes in a small carton with the familiar red, green and white packaging associated with Vicks products. The white, plastic bottle contains 20 ml of nasal spray solution. According to the information ...
...I smell? I found Vicks Sinex to be especially beneficial before going to sleep, a couple of sprays just before bedtime kept my nose clear and I was able to sleep soundly through the night. THE BORING BITS I will bore you with all the dull bits now and list all the product information that I gleaned from the patient information leaflet included with the product: The dosage of one to two sprays to each nostril can be repeated at 6 – 8 hourly intervals ...

Review of Vicks Sinex Nasal Spray

...and puffing freely. Vicks Sinex..... You will see it on the supermarket or Chemist shelf.It will be in a funky Green and Silver Metallic box,with Sinex in huge letters splashed over he front. It is usually kept with the cold remedies and other things that you stick up your nose when you are losing the battle with snot. On taking it out of the box you will be faced with a white spray bottle.Its about three inches high and white in colour.It has ...
...around it,so you can easily undo it with your thumb and forefinger. Its not fiddly at all,and isnt screwed on too tight in the first place,so it should be okay for everyone to undo. How do I use it Miss Snotty Fluff? Well children,for a start you need to read how often you are supposed to use it.Aha there is our first mistake..it is only suitable for adults and children over six years old. On unscrewing the cap I am presented with a white nozzle. ...

Review of Vicks Sinex Nasal Spray

Vicks Sinex Decongestant Nasal Spray is a spray which you squirt up your nostrils to give "relief from a blocked nose". The spray is recommended as suitable for anyone aged over 6 years, although I wouldn't be too happy giving it to a child to use - it's the kind of thing a child might squirt up their nose every five minutes if they could and I don't think that would be very healthy! I've used the spray quite a lot of times and would recommend it, ...
...£2.50 per 20ml bottle - the bottle doesn't state how many applications there are per bottle, but one bottle has seen me through several colds so I'd reckon that it probably contains several hundred squirts. According to the instructions you need to reuse every six to eight hours but on my experience the effects start to wear off within about three to four hours. It certainly does what it says - within seconds of squirting the spray your nose will ...

Review of Vicks Sinex Nasal Spray

...only a squirt away with Vicks Sinex nasal pump spray. ~~ What does it do? ~~ The claim on the packaging is to 'clear a stuffy nose caused by a cold, hayfever or sinusitis.' ~~ How does it work? ~~ When you have a cold the blood vessels inside your nose become swollen stimulating the nasal membranes to produce large amounts of mucus. The medication in the spray contains elements to constrict the blood vessels and reduce the blood flow to your ...
...up'. ~~ How do I use it? ~~ It really is a simple medication to take. I prefer the 'pump' action of the bottle to the 'squeezy' type bottle that you can also buy. To use, insert the nozzle into the nostril. Place your thumb on the base of the bottle, with index and middle fingers on the rim of the pump. Firmly squeeze the pump on the bottle to deliver either one or two sprays. Repeat for the other nostril. As you depress the pump, it is helpful ...

Review of Vicks Sinex Nasal Spray

...leave you feeling snot-free. Vicks Nasal Spray contains Oxymetazoline Hydrochloride which actually acts as a vasoconstrictor, which in more understandable terms, it helps to reduce any swelling of the nasal membranes, which actually cause the stuffed up feeling you get with blocked noses and will last for up to 8 hours for each dosage. The nasal spray is very easy to take, its just a case of covering one Nostril, placing the small bottle in the ...
...sharp squirts and then breath in deeply through your nostril, the nasal spray will then shoot up your Nostril and start working straight away, the relief is virtually instant, although you may get an unpleasant taste at the back of your throat, as the spray seeps through to your upper throat, don’t worry this taste will disappear as quickly as it appeared. This process can be repeated every 6 to 8 hours, but please make sure you do not use ...

Review of Vicks Sinex Nasal Spray

...sorry for myself I spied Vicks Sinex Decongestant Nasal Spray. I remember the adverts of old with poor old Malcolm and his problem of going to work with a runny nose, but no!! It works for eight hours (eight hours, pooh!). I recall that Malcolm looked a geeky enough bloke for me to believe that he was rid of the sniffles for his day, so I happily picked up the spray and mooched to the till. My purchase cost approximately £2.50. I can’t say for sure ...
...The active ingredient is Oxymetazoline Hydrochloride. The box actually boasts that the product will continue to work for up to 12 hours (12 hours, pooh!) On my return home, having oh deared and ahh’ed the daughter I took the little bottle from the pack and unscrewed the lid. I stuck the nozzle up my nostril and gave one short, sharp squirt. The spray went up and I took a deep breath through my nose as advised (well as deep as you can when there is ...

Review of Vicks Sinex Nasal Spray

...a permanent cold. I used Vicks Sinex Nasal Spray, found that it worked, and continued to use it. At a check-up one day with my consultant (a Maxillo Facial Surgeon) I mentioned the spray, and asked if I could get it on prescription, as it was costing me a lot. He was horrified, not only that I was using it at all, but that I been using it for some time. He told me to stop using it immediately and explained that he had recently had to remove the ...

Although Vicks have is a warning on their bottles not to use them for more than a couple of days without a doctor’s knowledge, lots of people rely on this stuff to get them through lengthy colds. My consultant has dealt with many patients whose problems have been caused, and/or worsened by use of these decongestant nasal sprays. They are meant for emergency use only - i.e. to help you eat or sleep on one or two occasions. They are not supposed ...

Review of Vicks Sinex Nasal Spray

...To be technical about it Vicks Nasal Spray contains Oxymetazoline Hydrochloride which helps to reduce any swelling of the nasal membranes, which actually cause the stuffed up feeling you get with blocked noses and will last for up to 8 hours for each dosage. It is available over the counter at chemists or supermarkets and costs about £3 a time. Now for the down side to all this. Sinex is a drug and as with any drug it should be treated with respect. ...
...was that I was not following the instructions for use. The box and the back of the plastic bottle are both clearly labelled with warnings - don't use it if taking other medication without consulting your doctor, don't use it more than three times a day and don't use it for longer than a week. As I was using it almost every day and had been doing so for some time, I was making the problem worse, which was obviously leading to further use. As I said ...

Review of Vicks Sinex Nasal Spray

...I found this little gem; Vicks Sinex spray. ~Packaging~ It can be found in Boots (or other well known pharmacy’s) along with all of the cold and flu stuff. It’s in a green and white box with a picture of the bottle on the front and Sinex written in big red letters across the box, and then the brand name ‘Vicks’ right at the top of the box. The bottle itself is a white 20ml plastic bottle with a green screw top lid. ~Price~ I bought a 20ml bottle ...

Review of Vicks Sinex Nasal Spray

Vicks was originally a trusted company dealing with common cold symptomatic relief. Their best-known product is Vapour rub, a greasy ointment that contains oils of menthol and eucalyptus that gave off a characteristic smell. That smell penetrated even stuffed up noses and gave the impression of clearing the nose, as these smells were often the first smells smelt by that nostril for days. Get the clue here, the product was one that sold a smell. ...
...and in hay fever season Vicks recruits several thousand Sinex junkies a year. I told you there was a dark side to that seemingly benign caring company that we have all grown up with. So does Sinex have a role? Well yes I believe it does. It is effective, it works quickly, less than ten minutes usually, and it is cheap. It relieves much misery from colds and can allow people to continue working and sleeping as close to normal as they can with a cold. ...

Review of Vicks Sinex Nasal Spray

...working day. Then I discovered Vicks Sinex Nasal Spray and now, although I still hate having a cold, I find it helps me cope through it until it is cured. The spray comes in a small bottle and costs approc £3.45 per bottle. This may seem a little expensive but when you can sleep properly you feel more alert and active which is worth every penny. A big sniff and a squirt up each nostrel and after a few minutes you feel the congestion clearing and ...

Since discovering Vicks nasal spray , I have coped with really heavy colds and taken hardly any extra medication although I tend to use it only just before bed time. Excellent for adults but not advisable for young children ...

...So I decided to try Vicks Sinex Nasal Spray, which I've used for a blocked nose before, but not blocked sinuses. The spray comes in a small, white plastic bottle with a twist-off green lid and contains 20ml of the spray. It has a green label on the front of the bottle with Sinex written in red. It also has the main ingredient, Oxymetazoline and the words 'fast' and 'long lasting'. On the back of the bottle it contains directions for use. Basically ...
