Pharmacodynamics

The medicine contains trimazoline with phenylephrine, which have vasoconstrictor properties - it is due to the ability to constrict blood vessels that the medicine reduces swelling of the nasal mucosa. This allows you to normalize breathing through the nose and reduce pressure in the middle ear and sinuses. The dosage form has a viscous consistency, as a result of which the nasal mucosa has a prolonged effect.
