I took another brand last night before bed - Otrivin - it's been 12 hours and I have a reduced sense of taste and smell. I can smell a bit but nothing strong. I am beginning to think nasal sprays are b-a-d.

Please see the webpages for more details on Oxymetazoline (nasal) (generic name) Afrin (brand name).

I had that happen with Afrin about 11 years ago and it took over a month to regain my sense of smell and taste . . . not cool.
