Pharmacological properties

Pharmacodynamics

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

Dexpanthenol is a B vitamin and a derivative of pantothenic acid. Dexpanthenol converts in the body into pantothenic acid, which is part of coenzyme A and is involved in acetylation processes, carbohydrate and fat metabolism, the synthesis of acetylcholine, corticosteroids, porphyrins; it stimulates the repair of skin, mucous membranes, normalizes cellular 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 quickly absorbed by the mucous membrane, converted to pantothenic acid, binds to plasma proteins (mainly beta-globulin and albumin). Its concentration in blood is 0.5-1 mg/l, in serum 100 µg/l. Pantothenic acid is not metabolized (except for inclusion in Co-A) and is excreted unchanged.
