How does the ingredient of the medicine work?

The active ingredient contracts the dilated veins in the mucous membrane of the nose and eyeball. This reduces the excessive blood flow to the olfactory and visual organs and reduces swelling of the mucous membrane. Patients can breathe more freely through their nose again. In addition, it no longer runs constantly. Annoying redness and non-specific irritation in the eyes disappear.
