It works fine
This product works very well, honestly other brands have stopped working effectively for me so I gave this a try. No burning sensation, and it cleared my nose. The only thing I don't care for is that the bottle is one of the ones that you have to squeeze the whole thing to get the spray out, i prefer the push down kinda pump but that's just my preference. Still it's a good product and I would purchase again.

4.0 out of 5 stars Product is great- bottle not so much
Reviewed in the United States on August 26, 2022
Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase
First off, this nasal spray is great- virtually indistinguishable from Afrin, and at a much better price.
Kudos for the tamper-resistant seal which actually peeled off effortlessly.
My only complaint is with the bottle itself. It starts out working perfectly, but after a few uses, it becomes less resisient so you can't get a full squeeze each time. This necessitates using more than the recommended number of squeezes, and it's pure guesswork how many sprays would be equal to the original doses when the bottle was new. I often find that "store brands" fall short in the packaging area- flimsy boxes, hard to open packages, etc., and it doesn't usually really make much difference. But in this case, where the actual use of a medication is effected, it is a concern.

I seen the reviews claiming it doesn't spray correctly. Any nasal spray will suit a stream if it's upside down. Just give it a shake and the correct dose will be loaded into the mist sprayer, hold your head Up and hold the bottle upright. As it's squeezed, inhale thru the nose for a gentle mist. How much easier can it get?

Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2024
Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase
I saw the word spray and thought it was one of those where you push a pump and a "sprays" out the med in mist form. No. This one does not have a pump. You have to squeeze the bottle with it tilted to the side and have a stream of liquid squirting into your nostrils. I don't know how people can control this at all. The medicine is slightly bitter and for better or worst, it does kind of work, just not very convenient. Maybe I bought the expert level application version of nasal spray?

I have opened and tried 1 box of the 4 sent and the product is completely ineffective, although it says it contains the same ingredients as the Amazon pump spray. I purchased the Amazon brand pump spray previously and it works fantastic, but this stuff is terrible. I would like to have it replaced with the Amazon pump spray. I will be happy to pay the difference in cost.

It's the standard decongestive I use at night but it's in an old-fashioned squeeze bottle instead of the metered dose, which my arthritic fingers find difficult. Hope it will continue to be available!
