NASAL DECONGESTANT SPRAYS VS. NASAL DECONGESTANT TABLETS

Some people prefer sprays, some prefer tablets. But sprays and tablets work in slightly different ways and it's important to consider the different effects of the product. Below are some differences to consider when choosing between a spray and tablets.

As sprays are applied directly to your nasal passage, they begin to work in the affected area instead of travelling around your body, like a tablet does.¹ Tablets work by travelling through your digestive system before entering your blood stream to treat the cause of your congestion. That's why sprays begin to work within 5-10 minutes, whereas tablets can take up to thirty minutes² to begin working.³ Otrivin nasal sprays are also long-lasting, lasting up to 10 hours, which can be beneficial if you only want to use the medication once daily.
