Is Otrivin A Good Alternative For CPAP Machine?
does otravine containe a steroid? I use a CPAP machine that is causing sinus problems. I was prescribed a nasal spray containing steroid about two years ago when i first started using the cpap and it cleared the problem. I now have sinus problems again but can t remeber the name of the spray i used last time. I would prefer to just buy the spray rather than visit my GP for a prescription thanks

Hi,
Otrivine contains a nasal decongestant, and not steroids. Before restarting steroids, in any form, it is better that you consult your GP. Before starting, we have to rule out or treat any infection like sinusitis, which can otherwise be worsened by steroids.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
