This is evident with decongestant nasal sprays that start to narrow the blood vessels in nasal lining to reduce swelling by narrowing the blood vessels and this has the effect of reducing congestion but this is a temporary effect because with prolonged use, the blood vessels will expand leading to increased congestion. Henceforth, the misuse makes a number of people use nasal sprays with more regularity, thus worsening the situation. These side effects and the increases the risk of addiction or misuse mean that these barriers hinder the use of nasal sprays making consumers careful when using them long term.
