A person suffering from a runny nose can breathe again with his nose. But unfortunately, the effect of drops sooner or later ends, about this happens in 4-6 hours. The nose again pawns, and there is a need for a new dose of the drug.
In addition, vasoconstrictor drops can reduce the amount of mucus that the nose produces. It becomes less viscous, which also contributes to normal full breathing through the nose.
