Nazik, spray 0.1 mg+5 mg/dose 10 ml

Nasik is a combined nasal drug for topical use, containing Xylometazoline and Dexpanthenol.

Xylometazoline refers to a group of local vasoconstrictors (decongestants) with alpha-adrenomimetic activity, causes narrowing of blood vessels of nasal mucosa, restores nasal passages, facilitates nasal breathing. The action of the drug usually starts within a few minutes after application and lasts up to 10 hours.

Dexpanthenol is a B vitamin and a derivative of pantothenic acid. Dexpanthenol is converted in the body into pantothenic acid, which is part of coenzyme A and is involved in the processes of acetylation, carbohydrate and
Fat metabolism, synthesis of acetylcholine, corticosteroids, porphyrins; stimulates the regeneration of skin, mucous
membranes, normalizes cell metabolism, accelerates mitosis and increases the strength of collagen fibers. It has a regenerating, metabolic and mild anti-inflammatory effect.

PHARMACOKINETICS

Xylometazoline is practically not absorbed when applied topically, plasma concentrations are so low that they
cannot be determined by modern analytical methods.

Dexpanthenol when applied topically is rapidly absorbed by the skin and is converted to pantothenic acid and binds to plasma proteins (mainly beta-globulin and albumin). Its concentration in blood is 0.5-1 mg/l,
in blood serum is 100 µg/l. Pantothenic acid is not metabolized in the body (except for inclusion in Co-A) and is excreted unchanged.
