I'm using cepodem xp 325, Sinarest, and a nasal spray. I was just wondering, how long after using the nasal spray can I do steam inhalation? I read somewhere that the nasal spray works for around 12 hours, so is it okay to do steam maybe 5 or 6 hours after the spray?

It is generally recommended to wait at least 1-2 hours after using a nasal spray before doing steam inhalation. This allows the nasal spray to be absorbed properly and have its intended effect. So, you can safely do steam inhalation 5-6 hours after using Sinarest nasal spray. Remember to follow the recommended dosage of Sinarest and consult your healthcare provider if you have any concerns.
