AfrinNasal Spray Original - 1 Oz, Pack Of 3

Afrin...how I love thee. Afrin is the wasabi of nasal decongestants - it might burn a little for the first few seconds, but then it opens up your sinuses like it is nobody's business! Unlike sudafed, afrin is a topical medication that works right away and stays where you put it (up your nose) rather than circulating through your system as a whole. Afrin is my go-to for head colds and severe congestion. As a wilderness medicine practitioner, I always include Afrin in my pack because it also happens to be extremely useful for treating stubborn nosebleeds. Read on, my friends, and I will enlighten you...Afrin is a potent vasoconstrictor, which means that it clamps down on the blood vessels in the nose when you are congested and helps to shift the fluid out of the tissues where it is causing problems. When you have a nosebleed and use afrin, it does the same thing and causes the vessel that is bleeding to clamp down and constrict, which in turn helps to turn a big hole into a small hole where your blood can do its thing and make a nice clot. There have been a number of clinical studies that have validated the safety and efficacy of afrin for treating nosebleeds, even severe ones that were seen in the emergency department. When my girlfriend was going through chemotherapy for a lymphoma she had some issues with serious nosebleeds and I was able to stop them with Afrin without any issues. Highly recommend. It is a safe and extremely effective way to deal with most of these serious nosebleeds. I'm sure there are circumstances where other treatments will be required due to physiological issues like hemophilia where the blood is simply unable to clot even with the extra help. In these cases emergency department care for a topical hemostatic medication or cauterization is probably going to be necessary.That said, I am not your doctor so check with them before using afrin if you have hypertension or any of the other contraindications listed on the bottle. Don't use it if you just took a massive shot to the head because you have bigger problems than a nosebleed at that point and need to be evaluated for various fractures. However, if you suffer from a serious spontaneous nosebleed or just an annoying nosebleed that you want to stop, Afrin just might do the trick.

I’ve used nasal spray for years. Dristan was the first and now Afrin is what I use.This three-pack of one (1) ounce product (Oxymetazoline Hydrochloride) is generally the product you’ll find in nose sprays these days. But this package represents the best value.Normally, a ½ fl (15ml) package of this product will be around $4.98/ea. Give or take. That is $4.98 for ½ ounce.However this three pack of ONE OUNCE (30ml) containers sells for $5.67 ea.So, for a meager $.69 more each you’ll get TWICE the amount that comes in the ½ oz. package.Quite a savings.Now about the defamed cap.This type of cap is the industry standard. You’ll find it everywhere. This is the one. There is nothing wrong with the engineering, manufacture, or assembly.There is a gentleman that posted about this many times explaining exactly how to remove the cap, but this poor product is gaining many one star ratings because people are unfamiliar with its workings.Yes, there is a twist to it, but one has to apply positive (read: continuous, heavy) downward pressure to the cap as you are turning it counterclockwise (to the left). If you do not keep applying the downward pressure AS you are turning it, you’ll hear clicks and it won’t come off.After you remove it the first time, you can reapply it in a less tightened mode so it will come off much easier next time.Remember: While pushing the cap down (don’t let up!) turn the cap to the left. If you hear clicks, you’re not pushing it down enough.Get tough and you will finally say…”Oh, now I get it and I can breathe, too!”

Works in minutes

thanks

Can't live without this stuff!
