Hello,
- Otrivin nasal spray is safe to use
- If you use Otrivin regularly, it can also cause nasal stuffiness. I would advise you not to use it for more than 7 days in a row and then give at least 2-3 day break.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
