Introduction
Medimist-PG is a mist medication that combines the active ingredients Polyethylene Glycol and Propylene Glycol. It is commonly prescribed by healthcare professionals for various conditions.
Uses
Medimist-PG is primarily used for the relief of dryness and irritation in the nasal passages. It helps to moisturize and soothe the nasal lining, providing temporary relief from symptoms such as nasal congestion, itching, and sneezing caused by allergies or environmental factors.
Dosage and Administration
For adults and children 12 years and older, the recommended dosage is 1 to 2 sprays into each nostril, 2 to 3 times a day, or as directed by your healthcare professional. Shake the bottle well before each use. Avoid spraying into the eyes. If you are unsure about the usage or have any questions, consult your healthcare professional.
Mechanism of Action
Medimist-PG works by creating a thin layer of moisture on the nasal passages, which helps to alleviate dryness and irritation. It forms a protective barrier that helps to prevent further irritation and keeps the nasal lining moisturized, providing relief from nasal symptoms.
Side Effects
Common side effects may include mild irritation or stinging sensation in the nasal passages. If you experience any severe or persistent side effects, such as swelling or difficulty breathing, discontinue use and seek medical attention immediately.
Drug Interactions
inform your healthcare professional about all the medications you are currently taking, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements. While Medimist-PG is generally well-tolerated, there may be potential interactions with other nasal medications. Your healthcare professional can provide you with personalized advice regarding any potential drug interactions.
Precautions
Before using Medimist-PG, inform your healthcare professional if you have any known allergies or sensitivities to any of the ingredients. Additionally, if you have any underlying medical conditions or are pregnant or breastfeeding, it is recommended to consult with your healthcare professional before using this medication.

Medimist-PG should be stored at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use. Do not freeze the medication. Make sure to keep it out of reach of children and pets.
