How it works
The active ingredient xylometazoline hydrochloride in this spray works locally on the nasal mucous membrane to reduce swelling. This clears the nasal passage, which immediately facilitates breathing. As part of a healthy lifestyle for the whole family, this formula is composed in such a way that it is well tolerated even by sensitive nasal mucous membranes. The addition of soothing substances helps to prevent irritation, while the spray form ensures an even distribution in the nasal cavity.
