Some of the most common causes of a blocked nose are a cold and rhinitis, which can both cause inflammation in your nasal passages, giving you less room to breathe as excess mucus builds up. A blocked nose will usually go away on its own when the cause, such as the cold or allergy, has cleared up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"description-heading-3\"\u003eHow will the oxymetazoline hydrochloride in Vicks Sinex Soother help to relieve my blocked nose?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe active ingredient in Vicks Sinex Soother is oxymetazoline hydrochloride, with 25mcg of the active ingredient in each spray. Oxymetazoline is a decongestant which works by constricting the swollen blood vessels in your nose, helping to reduce inflammation and giving you more room to breathe. It works within just a few minutes and the effect can last for up to 12 hours at a time, perfect for when you have a cold or rhinitis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"description-heading-4\"\u003eCan I use this nasal spray if I’m pregnant or breastfeeding?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, you should speak to your doctor or pharmacist before taking Vicks Sinex Soother.
