Pharmacology

Oxymetazoline Hydrochloride is a selective alpha-adrenergic receptor agonist. When applied topically to the nasal mucosa, it produces vasoconstriction of dilated blood vessels. This action reduces mucosal swelling, congestion, and nasal discharge, allowing improved airflow through the nasal passages.

Azolin Nasal Drop starts working within a few minutes of administration and provides decongestant relief for up to 10–12 hours. When used at recommended doses and for short durations, systemic absorption is minimal.

• Typically, 1–2 drops are instilled into each nostril once or twice daily.

• Before use, gently clean the nasal passages.
