Hazards of nasal spray?

BarnOwl, I am not aware of any epinephrine nasal sprays. Epinephrine is available over the counter in the US for treatment of bronchospasm (think primatene mist for asthma attacks) but it’s not a real good drug for that either. Better than respiratory arrest, but not as good as albuterol.

Thank you for the correction, Qadgop. (In my defense, I was talking about events that transpired in the early-to-mid 50’s, down in GTMO Bay.)

After posting that erroneous information, I wondered if it was neosynephrine that the doctor was adamant about. Is that bad stuff,and is it available in OTC nasal sprays?

Yes, neo-synephrine is a common nasal spray ingredient. It has the same drawbacks as oxymetalazine (Afrin).
