- The ability to react may be impaired even when used as intended, especially at higher doses or in combination with alcohol. Pay particular attention if you are driving or operating machinery (including household machinery) that could cause injury.
- Preservatives (e.g. benzalkonium chloride) can cause swelling of the nasal mucosa with prolonged use. If such a reaction is suspected (persistent nasal congestion), a medicine for use in the nose without preservatives should be used.
How does the ingredient of the medicine work?
If allergenic substances, e.g. pollen, come into contact with the eyes or nose, the body's own messenger substance histamine is released in the mucous membranes of the eyes and nose, causing them to become inflamed. The active ingredient prevents this allergic reaction by keeping histamine away from the mucous membranes. In this way, the active ingredient quickly combats the unpleasant allergic symptoms in the eyes and nose such as itching, redness, swelling or sneezing.
