Nxylin Nasal Spray is primarily used to treat nasal congestion (stuffy nose). It is also used to treat stuffy noses caused by sinus irritation, allergies, and the common cold. Nasal congestion is the blockage of nasal passage due to stuffed-up nasal fluid in the nose.

Nxylin Nasal Spray contain Xylometazoline. Xylometazoline belongs to the class of 'decongestants'. It works by easing the inflammation and blocking of nasal passages by narrowing the blood vessels (vasoconstriction) and thus provides temporary relief from nasal congestion and blockage.

Nxylin Nasal Spray treats nasal congestion or blocked nose in common cold, sinusitis, hay fever, perennial and allergic rhinitis. It consists of Xylometazoline. Xylometazoline is a decongestant and an antihistamine drug. It works by easing the inflammation and blocking of nasal passages by narrowing the blood vessels (vasoconstriction) and reduces the swelling. This process provides temporary relief from nasal congestion and blockage. As an antihistamine drug, Xylometazoline provides relief from runny nose and sneezing by blocking the action of allergy-causing histamines.
