If your symptoms persist after 3 days of using Claritin Nasal (Oxymetazoline-nasal), you should talk to your doctor or pharmacist. Using this product for longer than 3 days can cause an increase in nasal congestion.

If your doctor or pharmacist has recommended a dose different from the ones listed here, do not change the way that you are using the medication without consulting your doctor or pharmacist.
