About Sinomet Nasal Spray

SORBITOL+XYLOMETAZOLINE belongs to the class of 'decongestants and antihistamines', primarily used to treat nasal congestion (blocked nose) in common cold, sinusitis, hay fever, perennial and allergic rhinitis. Sinusitis is the inflammation of the lining of the sinuses. Allergic rhinitis is inflammation and allergy of the nose that is caused by an allergen, such as pollen, dust, mold, or flakes of skin from certain animals.

SORBITOL+XYLOMETAZOLINE consists of two medicines: Xylometazoline and Sorbitol. Xylometazoline belongs to the class of 'decongestants'. It works by easing the inflammation and blocking of nasal passages by narrowing the blood vessels (vasoconstriction) and thus provides temporary relief from nasal congestion and blockage. Sorbitol is used to moisturize the nasal mucosa and prevents dryness and irritation in the nose.

Your doctor will decide the dosage of SORBITOL+XYLOMETAZOLINE based on your medical condition. The common side effects of SORBITOL+XYLOMETAZOLINE include temporary burning sensation, stinging, dryness in the nose, runny nose, and sneezing. Most of these side effects of SORBITOL+XYLOMETAZOLINE do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, please consult your doctor.

Medicinal Benefits of Sinomet Nasal Spray

SORBITOL+XYLOMETAZOLINE treats nasal congestion or blocked nose in common cold, sinusitis, hay fever, perennial and allergic rhinitis. It consists of Xylometazoline and Sorbitol.

It works by easing the inflammation and blocking of nasal passages by narrowing the blood vessels (vasoconstriction) and reducing the swelling. This process provides temporary relief from nasal congestion and blockage. As an antihistamine drug, Xylometazoline provides relief from runny nose and sneezing by blocking the action of allergy-causing histamines. Sorbitol is used to moisturize the nasal mucosa and prevents dryness and irritation in the nose.
