Xylometazoline Hydrochloride Nasal Spray
Xylometazoline (also known as xylometazoline hydrochloride is a decongestant that’s used in popular nasal sprays and drops from brands like Otrivine and Sudafed.
Xylometazoline helps to clear your blocked nose by reducing secretions and helping swollen blood vessels in your nose to return to their usual size so you can breathe more easily again.
This makes these nasal sprays perfect for those who have a blocked nose caused by hay fever, allergies, sinusitis, or cold and flu.
If you’re struggling to breathe through your stuffy nose and need a way to clear your nose, nasal sprays that contain xylometazoline can help you to get back to normal quickly.
