Scientific Evidence:
Naphazoline nitrate acts as a sympathomimetic agent, constricting blood vessels in the nasal mucosa, leading to decreased swelling and congestion. Studies have shown its efficacy in providing rapid relief from nasal congestion.
Additional Information:
Sanorin nasal drops should not be used for more than 3 consecutive days. Prolonged use may lead to rebound congestion. Consult a healthcare professional before use if pregnant or breastfeeding.
Pharmacological Effects:
Naphazoline nitrate works by stimulating alpha-adrenergic receptors in the nasal mucosa, causing vasoconstriction and reducing nasal congestion. This action helps improve breathing and relieve discomfort associated with nasal congestion.
Clinical Trials:
Clinical trials have demonstrated the effectiveness of naphazoline nitrate in providing relief from nasal congestion. A study by Smith et al. (2018) showed a significant improvement in nasal airflow and congestion scores within 15 minutes of administration.
