Xylometazoline Nasal Drops

Xylometazoline nasal drops are primarily used as a decongestant to relieve nasal congestion caused by colds, allergies, or sinusitis. They work by constricting blood vessels in the nasal passages, reducing swelling and congestion. However, potential side effects include palpitations, hypertension, headache, and tremors. Prolonged use beyond 5-7 days can lead to rebound congestion, making symptoms worse. Caution is advised for pregnant or breastfeeding women. Always consult a healthcare professional before use to ensure safety and effectiveness.
