Indications & Uses
Sodium Cromoglicate + Xylometazoline Hydrochloride nasal spray is used to prevent and treat allergic rhinitis, such as hay fever and perennial rhinitis, when the person also has a blocked nose (nasal congestion).
Pharmacology
Xylometazoline Hydrochloride is a sympathomimetic agent with alpha-adrenergic activity. It narrows the blood vessels in the nose (vasoconstriction), and this reduces nasal congestion. So people with a cold can breathe through the nose more easily.
Sodium Cromoglicate usually works through a local effect on the lining of the nose, the nasal mucosa. It stops sensitised mast cells from releasing the mediators of type-l allergic reactions, including histamine and slow reacting substance of anaphylaxis (SRS-A), once the antigen-antibody union has taken place. It doesn't block the binding of IgE to the specific antigen. What it does is suppress the release of substances such as histamine and SRS-A in response to that reaction. The drug also inhibits Type-III (late allergic, Arthers) reactions, though to a lesser extent.
