Xylorin 550 mcg/ml, nasal spray, solution, 18 ml

Xylorin nasal spray contains xylometazoline hydrochloride. The drug causes contraction of small nasal arterioles, reducing swelling and congestion of the nasal mucosa. This leads to nasal congestion , facilitates nasal breathing and reduces the amount of retained secretion.

Xylorin is used for the symptomatic treatment of rhinitis (including allergic rhinitis) and paranasal sinuses.

After spraying the medicine onto the nasal mucosa, local vasoconstriction occurs after 2-10 minutes and lasts for 10 to 12 hours. If after 5 days (in children aged 6-12) or 7 days (in children over 12 years and adults) there is no improvement or the patient feels worse, you should consult a doctor.

• The indications for use of Xylorin are symptomatic treatment of rhinitis (including allergic rhinitis) and paranasal sinuses.
• The drug is used topically, in the nose, to reduce nasal congestion occurring in rhinitis (including allergic rhinitis) and sinusitis, and as a supportive treatment in otitis media resulting from colds.

The active substance is xylometazoline hydrochloride. 1 ml of solution contains 550 micrograms of xylometazoline hydrochloride. One spray dose contains 50 micrograms of xylometazoline hydrochloride.
