Nasodrene is a medicine used to treat pathologies that have arisen inside the nasal cavity.
Indications of the nasodrena

Release form
The release is carried out in the form of a lyophilizate from which the intranasal solution is made.
Pharmacodynamics
The medicine has a local effect on the nasal mucosa, contributing to the strengthening of the reflex secretion from it of the secret - around the sinuses of the nose, and also directly in its cavity. The secret to secretion are sulfur-mucosal substances. The secretion begins several minutes after the application of the drug and can last about 2 hours. Due to the stimulation of the secretion, a natural washout of the sinuses of the nose occurs.
Nasodrene does not lead to the development of significant residual symptoms of irritation of the nasal mucosa, but in addition does not have a systemic effect.
