This medicine contains Xylometazoline, a nasal decongestant. It works by narrowing the blood vessels in the nasal passages, which helps to reduce swelling and allows air to pass through the nostrils more freely. This action provides temporary relief from congestion and stuffiness.

What is the usual dosage of CLENO PEDIA NASAL SPRAY?

For nasal drops, gently instill a few drops into each nostril and clean the dropper after application. For nasal spray, insert the nozzle into the affected nostril, press the pump to release the spray while sniffing, and repeat for the other nostril if needed. Clean the nozzle after use.

Is CLENO PEDIA NASAL SPRAY safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

CLENO PEDIA NASAL SPRAY is intended for use only in children aged 1-11 years and should not be used by adults unless recommended by a doctor. Generally, xylometazoline nasal sprays (the active ingredient) are preferred decongestants for pregnant and breastfeeding women for temporary relief, as they act locally and are not well-absorbed systemically. However, usage should be limited to avoid rebound congestion. For any medication during pregnancy or breastfeeding, it's essential to consult a healthcare provider.

Can CLENO PEDIA NASAL SPRAY be taken with other medications?

Inform your doctor if your child is taking antidepressants (such as monoamine oxidase inhibitors or tricyclic antidepressants), lithium, fluoxetine, sertraline, citalopram, escitalopram, or medicines used to control blood pressure (like alpha-blockers or beta-blockers), or timolol/betaxolol for glaucoma. These medications may interact with CLENO PEDIA NASAL SPRAY.

What precautions should be taken when using CLENO PEDIA NASAL SPRAY?

Do not use this medicine for more than 10 days without consulting a doctor, as prolonged use can worsen nasal congestion (rebound congestion). To prevent the spread of infection, each pack should be used by only one person. Inform your doctor if your child has heart problems or thyroid problems. This medicine is not recommended if your child has inflammation in the nasal passages, recently had neurosurgery, or surgery in the nose. It should not be used in infants below 1 year.

What happens if a dose of CLENO PEDIA NASAL SPRAY is missed?

If you forget to use a dose, do not worry and continue using it as soon as you remember. If you are unsure, consult your doctor.

How should CLENO PEDIA NASAL SPRAY be stored?
