Jan 16 (Reuters) - Engineering research and development (ER&D) firm Tata Technologies reported a 96% drop in third-quarter profit on Thursday, hurt primarily by a one-time charge tied to India's new labour codes, their largest such drop since the company's 2023 market debut.
Your cold is long gone, but the need for your nasal spray lingers as without it, you simply can’t breathe. You’ve become too dependent on it! — dpa Decongestant nasal spray s can save you from a restless night when a cold clogs up your nose, but pharmacists warn that this aid can be a slippery slope.
The leaflet that comes with it – if you read it – will tell you that a decongestant spray should not be used for longer than seven days in a row.He said that anyone with a blocked nose should give it up after four to five days, and use a moisturising seawater-based spray instead. The reason is that the nasal mucosa quickly adapts to the active ingredients in the decongestant, which cause the blood vessels in the lining to constrict. “At some point, you can’t breathe without the spray, so you have to make sure you always have it with you,” says Schmitz.Coming off it can be hard, he says.Using a nasal spray after your cold has gone also has other unwanted effects.“This not only risks bleeding, but also greater susceptibility to infection, because pathogens can penetrate more easily,” Schmitz explains.How to wean the nasal lining off decongestant sprays then?Once the nose has adjusted to the lower dose, the next step is to switch to a seawater nasal spray that contains no active ingredient at all.“Then those are steps that are too big,” says Schmitz.“Then you wean yourself off in really tiny steps until you eventually reach 0% – that is the seawater nasal spray.”Unlike with decongestant sprays, seawater sprays don’t bring the risk of the nasal lining becoming dependent, since these simply have a moisturising effect. – dpa
