Otrivin Moist P

Otrivin Moist P Nasal Drops helps to provide relief from nasal congestion due to allergic rhinitis, sinusitis, or cold. A nasal decongestant specially designed for kids (and babies above one years of age), it acts in just two minutes.5 and provides long-lasting relief from nasal congestion for up to 12 hours.5 It also prevents dryness and irritation of nasal mucosa. This is because Otrivin Moist P has a balanced pH within the range found in the nasal cavity. It contains Sorbitol, which is a soothing agent that helps prevent dryness and irritation of the nasal mucosa.3

  • How it works

    Otrivin Moist P is formulated with a decongestant suitable for children that will help to open your child’s nasal passages by reducing any excessive nasal secretions and return the swollen blood vessels to their normal size, thus quickly relieving a blocked nose and allowing normal breathing.4 The decongestant is in an aqueous solution of sorbitol and hypermellose. Hypermellose has high water retention and thickening properties. Sorbitol helps to retain water. Together in aqueous solution they prevent drying and irritation of nasal mucosa and provides further moisturisation.3
