Xylometazoline HCL
CAS#: 1218-35-5
Xylometazoline hydrochloride (HCl) is a common active ingredient found in nasal decongestant products. It works by constricting blood vessels in the nasal passages, reducing nasal congestion and promoting easier breathing. Xylometazoline HCl is applied as nasal sprays or drops and is used to alleviate symptoms of nasal congestion caused by colds, allergies, or sinus issues. It provides temporary relief by reducing swelling in the nasal tissues, making breathing more comfortable. However, extended use should be monitored, as overuse can lead to rebound congestion.
