Xylomist 0.1% Nasal Drops

Xylomist 0.1% Nasal Drops – Xylometazoline, 10 ml

Xylomist 0.1% Nasal Drops from Zydus contain Xylometazoline Hydrochloride 0.1% w/v, a topical decongestant for mucosal congestion. It works by narrowing the dilated blood vessels in the nasal lining, so the swollen mucosa shrinks back and the airway opens within minutes. The 0.1% strength is the adult concentration – children need the 0.05% paediatric strength. The dropper allows the dose to be placed precisely where it is needed. 10 ml bottle.
