Nasal decongestant is a medication used to reduce the discomfort caused by a stuffy nose. It is usually indicated together with another medication that will act directly on the cause of the discomfort, but in many cases its use is indispensable.
Some doctors do not like to prescribe any nasal decongestants because people overuse and end up "addicted", using more and more and in greater quantities to guarantee the effect of the medicine.
Nasal decongestants are also indicated for the treatment of allergic rhinitis, asthma, bronchitis, flu and colds.
