Frequently asked questions

What is Nasa Rhinathiol used for?+

How does Xylometazoline Hydrochloride work?+
Xylometazoline Hydrochloride selectively stimulates alpha‑1 adrenergic receptors on the smooth muscle of nasal blood vessels. This causes vasoconstriction, reducing mucosal edema and opening the airway for easier breathing.
What is the usual dose of Nasa Rhinathiol?+
