Introduction
Hynasals Nasal Drops is a nasal medication that contains Sodium Chloride as its active ingredient. It is commonly used to provide relief from nasal congestion and to facilitate better breathing.
Uses
Hynasals Nasal Drops are prescribed to alleviate symptoms associated with nasal congestion caused by allergies, sinusitis, or the common cold. It helps to reduce swelling in the nasal passages, making breathing easier and more comfortable.
Dosage and Administration
For adults and children above 6 years of age, the usual dosage is 1 to 2 drops in each nostril, 2 to 3 times a day, or as directed by a healthcare professional. Follow the instructions provided by your healthcare provider or the product labeling.
To administer the nasal drops:
Wash your hands thoroughly.
Tilt your head slightly back.
Gently squeeze the dropper to release the required number of drops into one nostril.
Keep your head tilted back for a few seconds to allow the drops to spread throughout the nasal passages.
Repeat the process for the other nostril, if necessary.
Avoid blowing your nose immediately after administration to allow the medication to work effectively.
Mechanism of Action
Sodium Chloride, the active ingredient in Hynasals Nasal Drops, works by creating a hypertonic solution that helps to reduce nasal congestion. When the drops are applied to the nasal passages, it helps to draw out excess fluid and mucus, thus relieving congestion and allowing for improved airflow.

Common side effects may include a mild burning or stinging sensation in the nose, sneezing, or temporary nasal dryness. These side effects are usually mild and transient.
If you experience any serious side effects, such as severe nasal irritation, persistent nosebleeds, or an allergic reaction (e.g., rash, itching, swelling), discontinue use and seek medical attention immediately.
