Frequently asked questions FOR Etolin 0.05% w/v Nasal Drops

Xylometazoline

Q. Can I give Etolin -P 0.05% Nasal Drops to my child continuously for more than 2 weeks if he has on and off nasal congestion?
Do not give Etolin -P 0.05% Nasal Drops to your child for more than 10 consecutive days as it may lead to complications such as "atrophic rhinitis". Also, make sure not to stop the medicine suddenly as doing so can cause ‘‘rebound congestion'’ in your child. Therefore, it is advised to follow the prescribed dosing schedule.
Q. What if I give too much of Etolin -P 0.05% Nasal Drops to my child by mistake?
An overdose of Etolin -P 0.05% Nasal Drops can cause severe dizziness, perspiration, severely lowered body temperature, headache, bradycardia (low heart rate), hypertension, respiratory depression, coma, and convulsions. It may even cause high blood pressure followed by a fall in blood pressure. Moreover, children are more sensitive to toxicity than adults, so it is advised that you reach out to your child’s doctor immediately if this happens.
Q. How to use Etolin -P 0.05% Nasal Drops in my child?
Before using Etolin -P 0.05% Nasal Drops, ask your child to clear the nose by blowing gently. Ask your child to lay down and lookup. Tilt your child’s head back as far as comfortable, or if lying on a bed, keep the head over the side. Open the cap of the medicine container and without touching the nozzle to the nose, apply the medicine into each nostril. Ask your child to keep the head tilted back for a short time as that will allow the drops to spread throughout the nose. Replace the cap right after use. If the drop completely misses the nose, administer the drop again. If any part of the drop gets into the nose, do not administer the drop again. Repeat for the other nostril. Clean and dry the nozzle before replacing the cap right after use. To avoid the possible spread of infection, the bottle should only be used by one person.
