Description

Sudafed Congestion Relief Nasal Spray, 10ml

Sudafed Congestion Relief Nasal Spray 10ml is a topical sympathomimetic nasal decongestant containing xylometazoline hydrochloride 0.1%, formulated for short-term symptomatic relief of nasal and sinus congestion. It works locally inside the nose by constricting swollen blood vessels in the nasal mucosa, reducing tissue swelling and improving airflow. It relieves symptoms rather than treating the underlying viral, allergic or inflammatory cause of congestion.

Sudafed Congestion Relief Nasal Spray 10ml is a medicated nasal decongestant containing xylometazoline hydrochloride 0.1%, used for short-term relief of a blocked or stuffy nose and sinus congestion associated with colds, flu, sinusitis and allergies such as hay fever. Xylometazoline works directly inside the nose by narrowing swollen blood vessels in the nasal lining, helping reduce swelling and open blocked nasal passages. Sudafed states that xylometazoline nasal sprays can begin working within minutes and provide congestion relief for up to 10 hours. It is suitable for adults and children aged 12 years and over. Available through Dock Pharmacy, a legitimate, established GPhC-registered UK pharmacy.
