Detailed Answer:
Hi! Welcome to Health Care Magic! Thanks for sharing your concerns with us. We will try to help you in best way possible.

Based on the drug you mentioned, let me clarify it's a formulation containing multiple drugs which have many advantages over using single agents as it has corticosteroids to decrease local inflammation as well as local decongestants to reduce swelling and blood engorgement. It also has local antiseptic effect as well as local analgesic or pain killing effects.

All these drugs have been shown to be safer while using simultaneously in controlled dosage under a single formulation. Side effects include local reactions or allergies as well as chances of activation of local fungal or viral infections due to steroid content. That is also the reason for avoidance of its prolonged use and mostly used for short intervals like for a week or two.

Hope this has answered your query, if you have any more questions, feel free to ask.
Regards.
