Xylometazoline Hydrochloride acts locally on the nasal mucosa to reduce swelling and improve airflow in several common upper‑respiratory conditions.

- Nasal congestion due to common cold: provides rapid relief of blocked nose in pediatric patients. - Sinusitis‑related congestion: decreases mucosal edema to facilitate sinus drainage. - Allergic rhinitis: alleviates nasal blockage caused by allergic inflammation.

Common Side Effects: - Nasal irritation or burning sensation. - Dryness of the nasal mucosa. - Sneezing shortly after administration. - Mild headache. - Transient taste disturbance. - Mild epistaxis (nosebleed).

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) with rash, swelling, or difficulty breathing. - Significant hypertension or tachycardia. - Persistent nasal congestion (rebound congestion) after prolonged use. - Nasal ulceration or perforation. - Cardiovascular events in susceptible individuals.
