Although the doctors have highlighted several issues related to these sprays but the most concerning one is, these nasal sprays are not approved by FDA. These sprays are not backed by any health organization across the globe.

Talking about the adverse effects these sprays can have on our health, doctor Teo Soleymani, dermatologist and skin cancer surgeon with UCLA Health stated:

“The problem with these drugs is that they mimic a naturally-produced hormone that’s released by our brain. These hormones have many broad-reaching implications.”

The reports have further revealed that these products contain dangerous ingredients that can cause several side effects. These side affects include vomiting, nausea, and permanent darkening of the skin.

These sprays can also have adverse effects on your sexual health and cause unwanted erections. Some users also have reported issues like blood pressure and kidney disorders. They also can affect mucous membranes and delicate nasal tissues.

Considering the consequences of these sprays, TikTok also has started taking down videos that feature the usage of dangerous nasal sprays.  In a recent statement, TikTok rolled a statement saying, “Our community guidelines make clear what content is allowed on TikTok.

“Our policy on illegal activities and regulated goods prohibits the promotion of nasal tanning sprays. And we have removed the videos that you have shared with us.”
