How do the ingredients of the medicine work?

The medicine consists of a combination of active ingredients. The active ingredient xylometazoline contracts the dilated veins of the nasal mucosa. This reduces the excessive blood flow to the olfactory organ and swells the mucous membrane. Breathing through the nose is made easier. In addition, it no longer runs constantly. The active ingredient dexpanthenol heals damaged skin and mucous membranes. It is related to pantothenic acid, a vitamin that is involved in important metabolic processes in the body. Damaged skin or mucous membranes lack pantothenic acid. Dexpanthenol is converted into pantothenic acid in the body and thus compensates for the missing vitamin. This protects the nasal mucosa and accelerates the healing of damaged mucous membranes.
