How it works
Otrivin uses xylometazoline hydrochloride, a component that helps to constrict the blood vessels in the nasal mucous membrane. As a result, the swelling decreases and the nasal passage becomes clear. To prevent the nasal cavity from drying out, this specific variant is enriched with substances that hydrate the mucous membrane, which contributes to comfort during recovery. As your trusted health partner, VitAdvice offers this medicine as support for the whole family (from 12 years old).
