How it works
The active substance xylometazoline hydrochloride causes local constriction of the blood vessels in the nasal mucous membrane. This reduces swelling and creates more space in the nasal cavity. This spray has been carefully formulated to be well tolerated even by patients with sensitive nasal mucous membranes. The addition of sorbitol prevents the mucous membrane from drying out, which contributes to a responsible recovery of the natural airway.
