Sodium Cromoglycate + Xylometazoline Hydrochloride

Sodium Cromoglycate + Xylometazoline Hydrochloride is a combination of a mast cell stabilizer and a nasal decongestant. Sodium Cromoglycate is a mast cell stabilizer that prevents the release of histamine, a chemical that causes inflammation and allergic reactions. Xylometazoline Hydrochloride is a nasal decongestant that constricts blood vessels in the nasal passages, reducing inflammation and nasal congestion.

 

Sodium Cromoglycate + Xylometazoline Hydrochloride nasal spray is used to relieve nasal congestion associated with seasonal allergic rhinitis (hay fever), perennial allergic rhinitis, and non-allergic (vasomotor) rhinitis.

 

The recommended dose for adults and children over 12 years of age is 1-2 sprays in each nostril, up to 3 times a day. The spray should not be used for more than 7 consecutive days without consulting a healthcare provider.
