Nasal decongestant safety review due to rare brain risk
Experts are assessing a very rare but potentially serious brain Side Effect of nasal decongestants bought on The High Street.
Ones containing pseudoephedrine are being reviewed because they may cause vessels supplying The Brain to contract or spasm, reducing blood flow.

Products already include warnings about The rare risks on patient information leaflets that come with The medicines, as well as more common Side Effects such as headache and dizziness.
Experts say anyone with concerns about medication should speak to a doctor or pharmacist. All medicines can have some Side Effects .
People take pseudoephedrine to relieve nasal congestion. It Comes in sprays, liquids and tablets, and is sometimes mixed with other medicines for coughs and colds or allergies.
The drug can help clear blocked airways and reduce stuffiness through its action on blood vessels in The Nose .

In The UK, people can report any suspected Side Effects from medicines to The Yellow Card scheme, which is run by The Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA).
The MHRA says it has received a very small number of recent reports in this Way - One case of PRES where The person recovered And One for RCVS where The outcome was reported as unknown.
A spokesman said: " We keep The safety of all medicines under close review to ensure that The benefits outweigh any risks - The safety of The Public is our top priority.
