DRIXINE Oxymetazoline 0.05% Nasal Spray 15ml

Indications / Uses

DRIXINE Nasal Spray is used for the symptomatic relief of nasal congestion caused by various upper respiratory conditions. It effectively clears blocked nasal passages associated with the common cold, hay fever, sinusitis, and other upper respiratory allergies. The product works as a decongestant by narrowing the dilated blood vessels within the nasal tissues, which shrinks the swollen membranes for freer breathing. Its action begins rapidly, providing relief that lasts up to 12 hours.
