It's a WIN-WIN!, 12-1-2021 By: Robert Feigel (Whangarei) While I'm happy for the bees and nature, out here in the country the pollen and dust over the past few months have played havoc with my sinuses. And trying to sleep with a blocked nose is anything but pleasant. So a couple of drops of Otrivin work very quickly to unblock my sinuses and ensure that I can have an comfortable sleep and my wife doesn't have to deal with any snoring. It's a WIN-WIN!   Very good product, 23-3-2017 By: Evgueni Zverev (Napier) Very good product. Great for colds, flu, blocked and running nose No side effects for me. However, sometimes it can make a mucosal tunic a bit dryer then it should be after drops using.
