Be careful of the oxymetazoline sprays. If used for longer periods of time (more than three days) they can get you addicted to them. This is mostly true for people using them for stuffy noses, but getting used to using them is what puts people at risk. It’s an addiction that’s actually quite common but not very often talked about, because it’s often not recognised as an addiction.

Great, affordable medicine for the occasional nose issue, but it comes with risks people tend to ignore until it’s too late and you’re buying bags of the stuff just to get through the week.
