1. What Xylorin is and what it is used for
Xylorin nasal spray is used to relieve symptoms associated with inflammation of the nose and sinuses.
The active substance xylometazoline belongs to a group of drugs called sympathomimetics. It causes narrowing of the small arterial vessels in the nasal cavity and thus reduces the manifestations of inflammation - swelling and redness of the nasal mucosa. In this way, the patency of the nasal passages is improved, breathing is facilitated and the amount of nasal secretion is reduced. The effect occurs 5-10 minutes after administration and lasts about 5-6 hours.
2. What you need to know before you use Xylorin Do not use Xylorin:

if you are allergic to xylometazoline or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).
if you are allergic to medicines from the sympathomimetic group
if you have dry inflammation of the nasal mucosa (atrophic rhinitis)
after brain or spinal cord surgery
if you are taking tricyclic antidepressants or MAO inhibitors
if you have increased intraocular pressure (narrow-angle glaucoma)
In children under 6 years of age.

Warnings and precautions

if you have cardiovascular problems (e.g. ischemic heart disease, high blood pressure, long QT syndrome)
if you suffer from thyroid dysfunction
if you have diabetes
if you have contraindications to the use of drugs from the sympathomimetic group.

 
Other medicines and Xylorin
