Can Compound Menthol Oil Nasal Drops be used for a long time?

Compound Menthol Oil Nasal Drops, also known as Compound Menthol Nasal Inhaler, should generally be used with caution for long-term use. It may be used short-term to relieve nasal congestion when symptoms do not worsen, but should not be used continuously for long periods or when nasal mucosa is damaged. Detailed explanation is as follows:

If nasal congestion symptoms are mild and the Compound Menthol Nasal Inhaler is used occasionally on a short-term basis, and if nasal congestion improves after medication without causing nasal discomfort or symptom recurrence or worsening, it may be acceptable for use, but continuous long-term use should be avoided.

Continuous long-term use of Compound Menthol Nasal Inhaler may lead to drug dependence in the nasal mucosa, which could worsen nasal congestion instead. When nasal mucosa is in a sensitive state due to inflammation or injury, drug irritation may exacerbate mucosal damage, leading to problems such as dryness and bleeding. In such cases, long-term use is not recommended.

Instructions for using Compound Menthol Nasal Inhaler should be followed. If nasal discomfort occurs or symptoms do not improve, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.
