Otrivin Moisturizing Formula, spray 0.1% 10 ml

Xylometazoline has an alpha-adrenomimetic effect: it causes narrowing of nasal mucosal blood vessels, eliminating edema and hyperemia of nasopharyngeal mucosa. Xylometazoline also reduces the accompanying hypersecretion of mucus and facilitates the drainage of nasal passages blocked by secretions, thereby improving nasal breathing in cases of stuffy noses.< br> < br> Otrivin® is well tolerated by patients with sensitive mucous membranes and its effects do not interfere with the separation of mucus. Otrivin® has a balanced pH value, typical for the nasal cavity. < br> < br> Menthol and eucalyptol contained in the product have a cooling effect on the nasal mucosa, resulting in a feeling of freshness. < br> In therapeutic concentrations the drug does not irritate the mucosa, does not cause hyperemia.< br> < br> The action comes within 2 minutes after application and lasts for 12 h.< br> < br> In vitro studies have shown that in humans xylometazoline suppresses the infectious activity of rhinovirus that causes “colds”.< br>
