Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What makes this formula "No Drip"?
Unlike standard sprays, this formula contains microcrystalline cellulose and carboxymethylcellulose sodium. These ingredients increase the viscosity, allowing the spray to "stick" to the nasal membranes rather than running down your throat.
Can I use this for more than three days?
No. Using oxymetazoline sprays for more than three consecutive days can lead to dependency and "rebound congestion," which makes the swelling return even worse once the dose wears off.
Is Foster & Thrive a trusted brand?
Yes. Foster & Thrive is a McKesson brand. McKesson is a global leader in healthcare distribution, and their products are manufactured to strict clinical standards and used in pharmacies nationwide.
