What is the active ingredient in Vicks Sinex Micromist and how does it work?
Vicks Sinex Micromist contains oxymetazoline hydrochloride 0.05% which is a type of decongestant. When sprayed into the nose, the active ingredient causes blood vessels in the nasal passages and sinuses to narrow and contract, reducing swelling, congestion, and mucus production.

Can Vicks Sinex Micromist be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
Decongestants like Vicks Sinex Micromist are not recommended for use during pregnancy due to safety concerns. It's not known if oxymetazoline passes into breast milk, so consult a doctor before using if breastfeeding.
