What is an Olbas Inhaler?
This Olbas Inhaler helps to relieve several uncomfortable conditions in the nose and sinuses, including the effects of a cold, catarrh and blocked sinuses. There are four active ingredients that work together to ease your symptoms: cajeput oil, eucalyptus oil, levomenthol and peppermint oil. They reduce swelling and inflammation in the nose, in addition and loosening mucus so you can breathe easier. The stated 695mg is the weight of actual oil placed inside the inhaler. This is equivalent to 0.7g.
How do decongestants work?
A decongestant clears up congestion, helping you to breathe easier. Congestion is caused when the blood vessels in your nose dilate, causing inflammation and discomfort. Decongestant treatments help to narrow these blood vessels, and with the swelling reduced, it allows more air to pass through and the mucus to drain, providing relief for cold and flu symptoms.
How to use this product
Always use Olbas Inhaler exactly as described in the patient information leaflet or as your doctor / Chemist4U pharmacist has told you. Remove the cap and close one nostril with your finger. Place the inhaler into the open nostril and inhale deeply. Repeat the process for the other nostril. After using, clean the inhaler to prevent the spread of germs and do not share your inhaler with others. Do not use it more than four times in 1 hour. If the symptoms persist after 1 week, stop using and speak to your doctor or Chemist4U pharmacist for advice.
