First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a gel form of the common decongestant oxymetazoline (found in many nasal sprays) in 120 healthy adults with a stuffy nose from colds or allergies. The gel is designed to stay in the nose longer than a spray. Researchers measured how well a single dose relieved congestion over two hours and checked for side effects.
