Oxymetazoline, the active ingredient, is a selective alpha-1 adrenergic receptor agonist that constricts nasal blood vessels, reducing swelling and congestion. Studies support its rapid and effective relief of nasal congestion with minimal systemic absorption.
Additional Information
Prolonged use may lead to rebound congestion. Limit use to recommended duration and dosage. Seek professional advice if symptoms persist. Keep out of reach of children.
Clinical Trials and Comparative Effectiveness
Clinical trials show oxymetazoline’s efficacy in nasal congestion relief. In a comparative study, it demonstrated faster onset and longer relief compared to other decongestants, indicating superior effectiveness.
