A stuffy nose is no nose at all. Can you really spend the whole day – or night – breathing through your mouth with that sinus congestion in place?
Get your nose back into action with Vicks Sinex – the fast decongestant nasal spray that gives you temporary relief from nasal and sinus congestions due to colds, allergies and sinusitis for up to 12 hours.
With its active ingredient Oxymetazoline, Vicks Sinex effectively reduces sinus pressure and shrinks swollen nasal membrane with just a few sprays in each nostril.

With head upright, insert spray nozzle in nostril, depress pump 2-3 times all the way down with a firm even stroke and sniff deeply to relieve congested nose.
Adults and children over 6 years, 2-3 sprays up each nostril, twice daily, morning and evening.
