How Afrin 0.025% works
Afrin 0.025% is a nasal decongestant. It works by narrowing the small blood vessels in the inner surface of the nose. This provides temporary relief from congestion or stuffiness in the nose.
Quick Tips
- It works right away and each dose provides relief for up to 12 hours.
- The right way to use the nasal spray:
- Avoid deep breathing as it will cause medication to go back to the throat and make it less effective.

- Afrin 0.025% can make nasal congestion worse if used for more than 3 or 4 days in a row (called rebound congestion).
