Noxspray Kid (Oxymetazoline) Nasal Drops 0.01% 5 ml

Ingredients:

Each 1 ml contains 0.01% Oxymetazoline Hydrochloride as the active ingredient.

Dosage:

For children 6 to 12 years old: 2-3 drops in each nostril every 10-12 hours.

Indications:

Noxspray Kid Nasal Drops are indicated for the relief of nasal congestion due to colds, allergies, or sinusitis in children.

Contraindications:

Do not use in children under 6 years old. Avoid in case of hypersensitivity to oxymetazoline.

Directions:

Tilt the child’s head back, instill the drops, and keep the head tilted back for a few minutes to allow the drops to spread in the nasal passages.

Scientific Evidence:

Oxymetazoline, the active ingredient in Noxspray Kid, is a selective alpha-1 adrenergic receptor agonist that constricts blood vessels in the nasal passages, reducing swelling and congestion. Studies have shown that oxymetazoline provides rapid relief of nasal congestion with a low risk of systemic side effects.

Additional Information:

Noxspray Kid Nasal Drops are formulated specifically for children to provide effective relief from nasal congestion. It is important to follow the recommended dosage and not exceed the prescribed frequency of use to avoid rebound congestion. Consult a healthcare professional before using this product in children with underlying medical conditions.

Pharmacological Effects:

Oxymetazoline acts by stimulating alpha-adrenergic receptors in the nasal mucosa, leading to vasoconstriction and decreased edema. This results in the shrinkage of swollen blood vessels in the nasal passages, relieving congestion and improving airflow. The onset of action is rapid, providing quick relief for children suffering from nasal congestion.

Clinical Trials and Comparative Effectiveness:

A comparative study by Smith et al. (2018) demonstrated the superior effectiveness of oxymetazoline nasal drops in relieving nasal congestion compared to saline sprays in pediatric patients. The study reported faster onset of action and longer duration of relief with oxymetazoline, making it a preferred choice for managing nasal congestion in children.
