Indications & Clinical Uses

Otrivin Extra contains Xylometazoline, an alpha‑adrenergic vasoconstrictor that reduces swelling of nasal mucosa.

  • Common cold: alleviates nasal congestion and improves airflow.
  • Allergic rhinitis: decreases nasal blockage caused by seasonal allergens.
  • Sinusitis: helps relieve congestion associated with acute sinus inflammation.

How It Works

  • Xylometazoline hydrochloride acts as a selective alpha‑2 adrenergic receptor agonist on the vascular smooth muscle of the nasal mucosa, causing vasoconstriction. This reduces blood flow to the swollen tissues, decreasing edema and opening the nasal passages. Dexpanthenol provides a moisturizing effect that supports mucosal integrity.
