Prolonged use of nasal decongestants like xylometazoline can lead to rebound congestion. It is recommended to use Grippostad Rino 0.1% Nasal Drops for short periods as directed by a healthcare professional.
Pharmacological Effects:
Xylometazoline works by stimulating alpha-adrenergic receptors in the nasal mucosa, leading to vasoconstriction and reduced blood flow, resulting in decreased nasal congestion and improved breathing.
Clinical Trials and Comparative Effectiveness:
In a comparative study, Grippostad Rino 0.1% Nasal Drops were found to be as effective as leading nasal decongestants in relieving nasal congestion with a similar onset of action. The study highlighted the favorable safety profile of xylometazoline in the treatment of nasal congestion.
