Pharmacology
Oxymetazoline Hydrochloride belongs to the imidazoline family of sympathomimetic amines. It acts directly on α-adrenoceptors, with no effect on β-adrenoceptors. Applied topically to the nasal mucosa, it brings about a rapid and long-lasting narrowing of the arterioles, which cuts down blood flow and eases swelling of the mucosal lining. The result is a clearer nasal airway and improved drainage of the sinuses.
