Frequently asked questions

What is Naso used for?+
Naso contains Xylometazoline Hydrochloride, an imidazoline nasal decongestant used to relieve nasal blockage caused by the common cold, sinusitis, and allergic rhinitis. It works by shrinking swollen blood vessels in the nasal passages.
How does Xylometazoline Hydrochloride work?+
Xylometazoline Hydrochloride selectively stimulates alpha‑adrenergic receptors on nasal mucosal blood vessels, causing vasoconstriction. This reduces blood flow, decreases swelling, and opens the airway, providing rapid relief of congestion.
What is the usual dose of Naso?+
The appropriate dose of Naso is determined by a qualified prescriber based on the patient’s age, condition, and response. Dosing instructions are provided on the product label and should be followed exactly as directed.
Is Naso safe to use during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Safety data for Xylometazoline Hydrochloride in pregnancy and lactation are limited. Use only if clearly needed and after consulting a healthcare professional. The prescriber will weigh potential benefits against any possible risks.
How do I order Naso from GNH USA?+
To order Naso, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnh-usa.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH USA supplies hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details and any required import documentation.
How does Naso compare with other nasal decongestants?+
Naso’s active ingredient, Xylometazoline Hydrochloride, belongs to the imidazoline class, which typically offers rapid onset of action and a duration of 6‑8 hours. Compared with phenylephrine‑based sprays, it may provide longer relief with a lower incidence of systemic side effects when used as directed.
How should Naso be stored and handled?+
Store Naso at room temperature, below 25 °C, in its original packaging. Protect it from moisture and direct sunlight. Keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use to maintain product stability.
How is Naso administered?+
Naso is applied as a nasal spray. The prescribed number of sprays is delivered into each nostril, usually while the head is upright. The patient should avoid blowing the nose immediately after administration to allow the medication to act.
What are the most serious risks associated with Naso?+
Serious risks, though rare, include severe hypertension, cardiac arrhythmias, and rebound nasal congestion (rhinitis medicamentosa) after prolonged use. Any signs of high blood pressure, irregular heartbeat, or worsening nasal blockage should prompt immediate medical evaluation.
Who should not use Naso?+
Naso should be avoided in individuals with known hypersensitivity to Xylometazoline or any component of the formulation, in children under 2 years of age, and in patients with uncontrolled severe hypertension unless advised by a physician.
