Frequently asked questions

What is Olynth Ha used for?+
Olynth Ha contains Xylometazoline Hydrochloride, an imidazoline nasal decongestant used to relieve nasal blockage caused by the common cold, sinusitis and allergic rhinitis. It works locally in the nasal passages to reduce swelling and improve airflow.
How does Xylometazoline Hydrochloride work?+
Xylometazoline Hydrochloride selectively stimulates alpha‑adrenergic receptors on the smooth muscle of nasal blood vessels. This causes vasoconstriction, which reduces blood flow to the nasal mucosa, decreasing edema and opening the airway for faster breathing.
What is the usual dose of Olynth Ha?+
The appropriate dose of Olynth Ha is determined by a qualified healthcare professional based on the patient’s age, condition and response. The prescriber will provide specific instructions on the number of sprays per nostril and the duration of treatment.
Is Olynth Ha safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Safety data for Xylometazoline Hydrochloride in pregnancy and lactation are limited. Women who are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding should consult their physician before using Olynth Ha to weigh potential benefits against any unknown risks.
How do I order Olynth Ha from GNH USA?+
To order Olynth Ha, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnh-usa.com with 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 necessary import documentation.
How does Olynth Ha compare with other nasal decongestants?+
Compared with phenylephrine‑based sprays, Xylometazoline offers a longer duration of action and a lower incidence of systemic cardiovascular effects due to its selective alpha‑adrenergic activity. However, all nasal decongestants share a risk of rebound congestion if used beyond the recommended period.
What are the storage and handling requirements for Olynth Ha?+
Olynth Ha should be stored at ambient temperature below 25 °C, in its original packaging, protected from moisture and direct sunlight. Keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use to maintain product stability.
How is Olynth Ha administered?+
Olynth Ha is applied as a nasal spray. The prescriber will advise the number of sprays per nostril, typically one to two sprays, up to a maximum of three sprays per nostril per day, and the total duration of therapy, usually not exceeding 3‑5 days.
What are the most serious risks associated with Olynth Ha?+
Serious risks include rebound nasal congestion after prolonged use, elevated blood pressure, severe nasal ulceration, and rare allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis. Patients should discontinue use and seek medical attention if they experience persistent hypertension, severe nasal irritation or systemic allergic symptoms.
Who should not use Olynth Ha?+
Olynth Ha should be avoided in individuals with known hypersensitivity to Xylometazoline or any excipients, in children under 6 years of age unless directed by a physician, and in patients with uncontrolled hypertension, severe cardiovascular disease, or those taking monoamine oxidase inhibitors.
