Description

Benadryl Allergy Natural Relief Nasal Spray

Benadryl Allergy Natural Relief Nasal Spray is a 15ml drug free nasal spray for allergy symptoms. It is used in the nose to ease a runny, itchy or blocked nose caused by allergens such as pollen, dust mite and pet dander, and because it is drug free it can suit people who would rather avoid an antihistamine or a steroid spray.

How it works

The spray works physically rather than pharmacologically. It coats the lining of the nose with a layer that traps allergens and limits their contact with the tissue underneath, which reduces the reaction they would otherwise trigger. Some of the moisture it provides also makes a dry, irritated nose more comfortable.

How to use it

Blow your nose gently first, then insert the nozzle into one nostril and spray while breathing in. Repeat for the other nostril. Because the effect is a physical barrier, it is reapplied through the day as directed on the pack, and after blowing your nose, rather than taken on a fixed twice daily schedule.

Who it is for

It suits adults and children as stated on the pack, including people looking for an option without an antihistamine or corticosteroid. It is not a treatment for sinus infection or for a blocked nose that has no allergic cause.

Safety and when to get advice

See a pharmacist or doctor if symptoms do not improve, if you have facial pain, a fever or thick discoloured discharge, or if a blocked nose on one side persists. Do not share the spray with anyone else and follow the discard period after opening. Our UK pharmacy team can answer questions about this product before you buy.

Common questions

Is it suitable in pregnancy?
Drug free barrier sprays are often considered when medicines are being avoided, but check with a pharmacist or midwife first.

Can I use it with my other allergy medicine?
Often yes, since it works physically. A pharmacist can confirm for your combination.

How often can I use it?
As directed on the pack, which usually allows reapplication through the day.

Always read the patient information leaflet supplied with the pack before use.
