Description
Ksilo-TEVA (Xylometazoline Hydrochloride) Nasal Spray 1 mg/ml – 10 ml
Composition
Active ingredient: Xylometazoline hydrochloride.
Inactive ingredients: Benzalkonium chloride, sodium dihydrogen phosphate dihydrate, disodium phosphate dodecahydrate, sorbitol, hypromellose, and purified water.
Mechanism of Action
Xylometazoline hydrochloride, a sympathomimetic compound, acts as a selective alpha-adrenergic agonist. It constricts blood vessels in the nasal passages, reducing swelling and congestion.
Pharmacological Properties
Xylometazoline hydrochloride acts locally on the nasal mucosa, causing vasoconstriction and decreased nasal blood flow. This leads to reduced nasal congestion and improved airflow. The onset of action is rapid, providing quick relief from nasal symptoms.
