Frequently asked questions

What is Nasivin Vicks Aloes I Eukaliptus used for?+
Nasivin Vicks Aloes I Eukaliptus contains oxymetazoline hydrochloride, an OTC nasal decongestant that temporarily relieves nasal congestion caused by the common cold, sinusitis, or allergic rhinitis by reducing swelling of the nasal mucosa.

Oxymetazoline hydrochloride acts as a selective alpha‑1 and alpha‑2 adrenergic receptor agonist. Stimulation of these receptors causes vasoconstriction of blood vessels in the nasal lining, which decreases mucosal edema and opens the nasal airway.

Serious adverse events, though rare, include significant hypertension, cardiac arrhythmias, severe nasal ulceration, allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis, and rebound nasal congestion if used for more than three consecutive days.
