Pharmacological Effects: Naphazoline nitrate acts on alpha-adrenergic receptors in the nasal mucosa, leading to vasoconstriction and decreased nasal blood flow, alleviating nasal congestion.
Clinical Trials: Trials have shown the efficacy of naphazoline nitrate in relieving nasal congestion in allergic rhinitis and common cold patients, with rapid onset and local effect making it a preferred choice.
