Pharmacological Effects: Xylometazoline is a sympathomimetic compound that constricts blood vessels in the nasal mucosa, reducing swelling and congestion. This action leads to improved airflow and relief from nasal congestion.

Clinical Trials: In a comparative study published in the International Forum of Allergy & Rhinology, Otrivin Extra Nasal Spray showed superior effectiveness in relieving nasal congestion compared to a placebo nasal spray. The rapid onset of action and long-lasting relief make it a preferred choice for many patients.
