ATC: S.01.G.A.04 Oxymetazoline
Oxymetazoline belongs to the group of local vasoconstrictors (decongestants) with alpha-adrenomimetic action, causes narrowing of the blood vessels of the nasal mucosa, thus eliminating edema and hyperemia of the nasopharyngeal mucosa.
When applied topically to the inflamed nasal cavity mucosa it reduces its swelling and associated mucus hypersecretion (nasal discharge) which facilitates nasal passages drainage and leads to restoration of nasal breathing.
The reduction of nasal mucous membrane edema helps restore aeration of the sinus cavities and middle ear cavity which prevents the development of bacterial complications (maxillary sinusitis, sinusitis, otitis media).
In local intranasal application in therapeutic concentrations it does not irritate and does not cause nasal mucous membrane hyperemia.
Oxymetazoline begins to act from 25 seconds. The duration of action of the drug is up to 12 hours.
The results of a double-blind, placebo-controlled study in patients with acute viral rhinitis aged 12-70 years showed that use of oxymetazoline 0.05% reduced the median duration of a runny nose from 6 to 4 days.
Oxymetazoline has no systemic action when administered topically intranasally. The half-life of oxymetazoline when administered intranasally is 35 h. 2.1% of oxymetazoline is excreted by the kidneys and about 1.1% through the intestine.
