Eucabal Pharmacological properties

Pharmacodynamics.

Xylometazoline is a sympathomimetic agent that acts on α-adrenergic receptors.

The effect of the drug begins a few minutes after application and lasts up to 12 hours. The drug causes narrowing of nasal blood vessels, reducing swelling of the nasal mucosa, its paranasal sinuses, thereby improving nasal breathing with nasal congestion and paranasal sinuses.

Pharmacokinetics.

When applied topically, the drug is almost not absorbed, the concentration of xylometazoline in blood plasma is so low that it can not be determined by modern analytical methods.

Indication
Symptomatic treatment of nasal congestion with colds, hay fever, other allergic rhinitis, sinusitis.

To facilitate the outflow of secretions in diseases of the paranasal sinuses.

As adjunctive therapy in cases of otitis media (to eliminate mucosal edema).

To facilitate rhinoscopy.

Concomitant treatment with monoamine chloride (MAO) inhibitors and for 2 weeks after discontinuation.

Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction
MAO inhibitors: xylometazoline may potentiate the action of MAO inhibitors and induce hypertensive crises. Do not use xylometazoline in patients who have been taking or have been taking MAO inhibitors for the past two weeks.

Tri- and tetracyclic antidepressants: concomitant use of tri- or tetracyclic antidepressants and sympathomimetic drugs may increase the sympathomimetic effect of xylometazoline, so the simultaneous use of such drugs is not recommended.
