Mechanism Of Action Of Xylometazoline

• A sympathomimetic that directly acts on alpha-adrenergic receptors in arterioles of the nasal mucosa to produce vasoconstriction resulting in decreased blood flow.
• Xylometazoline is a decongestant used for reducing nasal congestion caused by allergies or the common cold.
• Xylometazoline causes blood vessels in the nasal passages to shrink (vasoconstrictor).
• Vasoconstriction reduces nasal congestion by preventing fluid from draining from blood vessels into nasal passages.
