About the substance
This medication is a sympathomimetic that acts directly on the alpha-adrenergic receptors in the blood vessels of the nasal mucosa. By stimulating these receptors, vasoconstriction (narrowing of blood vessels) occurs. This reduces swelling of the mucous membrane, clearing the airways in the nose.
Dosage: The usual dosage is 60 mg per dose, maximum 180 mg per day; do not use in case of high blood pressure or heart conditions.
