Pharmacology

Oxymetazoline Hydrochloride is a direct-acting alpha-adrenergic agonist. When applied intranasally, it causes vasoconstriction of the dilated blood vessels in the nasal mucosa. This vasoconstrictive action reduces swelling, edema, and nasal congestion, leading to improved airflow through the nasal passages.

Azolin Nasal Drop begins to act within minutes of application and provides relief for up to 10–12 hours. Due to its topical action and minimal systemic absorption when used correctly, it is effective and generally well tolerated.

Dosage and Administration

• The dosage should be used strictly as directed by a physician.

• Typically, 1–2 drops are instilled into each nostril once or twice daily.

• The child should lie on their back with the head tilted slightly backward during administration.

• The nasal dropper should be kept clean to avoid contamination.

• Treatment duration should generally not exceed 3–5 days.
