Scientific Evidence

Naphazoline, the active ingredient in Naftizin Nasal Drops, is a sympathomimetic agent that works by constricting blood vessels in the nasal passages, reducing swelling and congestion. Studies have shown that naphazoline is effective in providing rapid relief from nasal congestion, making it a popular choice for cold and allergy symptom management.

Additional Information

Naftizin Nasal Drops should not be used for more than 3 consecutive days. Prolonged use may lead to rebound congestion. Consult a healthcare professional before using this product if you are pregnant, nursing, or have any underlying medical conditions.

Pharmacological Effects: Naphazoline acts on alpha-adrenergic receptors in the nasal mucosa, causing vasoconstriction and reducing nasal blood flow, which leads to a decrease in nasal congestion.

Clinical Trials: A randomized controlled trial published in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology demonstrated the efficacy of naphazoline in improving nasal airflow and reducing nasal symptoms compared to placebo in patients with allergic rhinitis.
