Indications & Clinical Uses

Xylometazoline acts on the nasal mucosa to relieve congestion by constricting blood vessels.

Common cold: reduces nasal blockage for faster breathing
Allergic rhinitis: alleviates congestion caused by allergens
Acute sinusitis: eases swelling of nasal passages during infection
Upper respiratory tract infection: provides temporary decongestion
Nasal congestion after air travel: improves airflow

How It Works

Xylometazoline hydrochloride is a selective alpha‑adrenergic agonist that binds to α1‑adrenergic receptors on the vascular smooth muscle of the nasal mucosa. Activation of these receptors induces vasoconstriction, decreasing mucosal blood flow and edema, which opens the nasal airway and reduces the sensation of congestion.
