Indications
This nasal spray is indicated for the prevention and treatment of allergic rhinitis (such as hay fever and perennial rhinitis) when it is accompanied by nasal congestion.
Pharmacology
Xylometazoline hydrochloride is a sympathomimetic with alphaadrenergic activity. It produces vasoconstriction thus relieving nasal congestion. This helps the patient with a cold to breathe more easily through the nose.
Sodium cromoglicate generally acts by a local effect on the nasal mucosa. It prevents the release of mediators of typel allergic reactions, including histamine and delayed anaphylaxis (SRSA) by sensitized mast cells after conjugation of antibiotics and antibodies. The drug does not inhibit the binding of IgE and specific antigens; instead, it prevents the release of substances (eg, histamine, SRSA) in response to this reaction. The drug also inhibits type III reactions (late allergies, Arthers) to a lesser extent.
Dosage
Adults (including the elderly) and children: One spray each nostril four times daily.
Administration
