Relieves swelling, reduces blood overflow of the blood vessels of the inner lining of the nasal cavity, eliminates obstruction of the nasal passages. Absorption into the systemic circulation is negligible. Used to improve breathing through the nose during influenza and acute respiratory infections, allergic diseases of the upper respiratory tract, accompanied by acute runny nose or inflammation of the paranasal sinuses.
