Afrin really does do the trick of relieving nasal congestion. If you're having difficulty clearing your nose because of allergies, hay fever or a bad cold, this product will clear your nose in no time. In addition, it does not make you drowsy.
However, there is a plethora of precautions about this drug--including, "ask a doctor before use if you have heart disease; high blood pressure; thyroid disease; diabetes; trouble urinating due to an enlarged prostate gland. When using this product do not use more than directed; do not use for more than 3 days." Pregnant moms and nursing moms should also consult a doctor before using Afrin.
If that wasn't enough to make you think twice about this product, then maybe my personal story will make you think. There's a very dirty secret about Afrin--it can easily become an addictive substance. If used too frequently, your nasal passages gradually become more and more clogged simply because they haven't received enough Afrin to keep them clear. Obviously, you can--and I did--wind up in a nasty habit of buying the product just to keep your nose clear. I have heard stories from doctors stating that they have been approached by patients claiming to have been addicted to Afrin for ten years at a time. You may then need another prescription nasal spray to get your nose functioning properly again.
Naturally, with the precautions Afrin tells everyone about--and the horror stories that they don't openly address--I cannot give this product a positive review. I vividly remember seeing doctors cringe noticeably when I told them about my former Afrin addiction.
2 stars for this product--but only if you use Afrin for less than three days.
I would strongly encourage you to seek another nasal spray.
