I used this for an acute onset of nasal congestion. It worked very well and allowed me to sleep at night. I used this per instruction and stopped using it after 7 days. This medication can cause you to have rebound effects (recurrence of congestion) if used longer.

I started using Afrin when I was congested & it worked at first, but now I'm having to use it more often and my sense of smell seems like it has decreased. I'm also experiencing more congestion, headaches and sinus sensitivity. I wouldn't recommend using it at all.

I am now addicted to this medicine and i have been for about a year, trust me you would rather be stuffy for a week rather than forever!! I would never recommend this product!
