Scientific Evidence

Oxymetazoline hydrochloride, the active ingredient in Nazol Baby drops, is a selective alpha-1 adrenergic receptor agonist. It works by constricting blood vessels in the nasal passages, reducing swelling and congestion. Clinical studies have shown that oxymetazoline is effective in providing rapid relief from nasal congestion in children.

Research published in the International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology demonstrated the efficacy of oxymetazoline in improving nasal airflow and reducing nasal resistance in pediatric patients with nasal congestion. The study concluded that oxymetazoline is a safe and effective treatment option for children with nasal congestion.
