Scientific Evidence

Naphazoline, the active ingredient in Sanorin nasal spray, is a sympathomimetic agent that constricts blood vessels in the nasal passages, reducing swelling and congestion. Studies have shown its effectiveness in providing rapid relief from nasal congestion.

Additional Information

It is important to follow the recommended dosage and not exceed the stated frequency of use to avoid potential side effects such as rebound congestion. Consult a healthcare professional if symptoms persist for more than 3 days.

Pharmacological Effects: Naphazoline acts by stimulating alpha-adrenergic receptors in the nasal mucosa, leading to vasoconstriction and decreased nasal blood flow, which helps alleviate congestion.

Clinical Trials: Clinical trials have demonstrated the efficacy of naphazoline in providing relief from nasal congestion associated with various conditions, with a rapid onset of action and sustained effect.
