pharmachologic effect
Xylometazoline belongs to the group of local vasoconstrictors (decongestants) with an alpha-adrenomimetic effect; it causes constriction of the blood vessels of the nasal mucosa, thus eliminating swelling and hyperemia of the nasopharyngeal mucosa.
Xylometazoline also reduces the accompanying hypersecretion of mucus and facilitates the drainage of nasal passages blocked by secretions and thus improves nasal breathing during nasal congestion.
In therapeutic doses it does not irritate the mucous membranes and does not cause hyperemia. The effect occurs 2 minutes after application and continues for 12 hours.
In vitro studies have shown that xylometazoline inhibits the infectivity of human rhinovirus, which causes the common cold.
Drug interactions
The use of xylometazoline is contraindicated in patients receiving MAO inhibitors or tricyclic antidepressants, including the period of 14 days after their discontinuation.
The simultaneous use of tri- or tetracyclic antidepressants and sympathomimetics may lead to an increase in the sympathomimetic effect of xylometazoline, so this combination is recommended to be avoided.
Dosage regimen
The drug is used intranasally.
Adults and children over 10 years old - 1 injection into each nasal passage, reapply the drug if necessary. Frequency of use: no more than 3 times/day. The duration of treatment is no more than 10 days.
Overdose
Symptoms: xylometazoline, when administered locally in an excessive dose or accidentally ingested, can cause severe dizziness, increased and uneven pulse, increased sweating, a sharp decrease in body temperature, headache, drowsiness, bradycardia, increased blood pressure, respiratory depression, coma and convulsions. Following an increase in blood pressure, a sharp decrease may be observed.
Treatment: Appropriate supportive measures should be taken if overdose is suspected. In some cases, immediate symptomatic treatment under medical supervision is indicated. These measures should include monitoring the patient for several hours. In case of severe poisoning with cardiac arrest, resuscitation efforts should last at least 1 hour.
