pharmachologic effect

Topical vasoconstrictor, alpha-adrenostimulant.

Oxymetazoline causes vasoconstriction in the mucous membranes of the nose, paranasal sinuses and the Eustachian tube, which leads to a decrease in their edema and facilitates nasal breathing in allergic and / or infectious-inflammatory rhinitis.

Due to the presence of nasal excipients in the spray (microcrystalline cellulose and sodium carmellose, povidone-K29-32), the drug does not flow out of the nose and does not drain into the throat, because

after being introduced into the nasal passages, the spray becomes more viscous and adheres to the nasal mucosa more effectively than a standard aqueous solution.

According to clinical studies, the drug begins to act within 1 minute, the effect lasts up to 12 hours.

When used as a nasal spray, oxymetazoline is practically not detected in blood plasma.
