Can Amertil be used for a runny nose with a cold?

Amertil can be used for a runny nose, but it will not be effective in all types of runny nose and it is not a drug recommended in the first place. Amertil contains cetirizine, which is indicated for relieving the symptoms affecting the nose and eyes, associated with seasonal and chronic allergic rhinitis. Cetirizine reduces the vascular permeability of mucous membranes, i.e. it could be effective in a pouring, watery runny nose (such as occurs during allergies). It can be less effective when the runny nose is thick and the nose is stuffy and with swelling. For such a runny nose, local preparations with xylometazoline can be used, e.g. Otrivin https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/58278/otrivin-aerozol/apteki We use such preparations for a maximum of 5-7 days.
