Drops, for children 0.05%, 10 ml

Xylometazoline belongs to the group of local vasoconstrictors (decongestants) with a-adrenomimetic action, causes narrowing of blood vessels of nasal mucosa, eliminating edema and hyperemia of nasopharyngeal mucosa.

Xylometazoline also decreases accompanying mucus hypersecretion and facilitates drainage of nasal passages blocked with nasal discharge and thus improves nasal breathing in case of nasal congestion.

In therapeutic concentrations the drug does not irritate the nasal mucosa and does not cause hyperemia.
