1. Active Ingredient:

• Xylometazoline Hydrochloride (0.05%): A fast-acting decongestant that constricts the blood vessels in the nasal passages, reducing swelling and opening the airways.

2. Indications for Use:

• Relief of nasal congestion caused by common colds, hay fever, or sinusitis.
• Helping to drain secretions in ear infections (otitis media) by clearing the nasopharynx.
• Easing breathing for infants and children during feeding or sleep.

3. Typical Dosage:

• Children (2 to 11 years): 1 to 2 drops in each nostril, 1 to 2 times daily is usually sufficient.
• Infants (under 2 years): Use only under direct medical supervision.
• Effect: It typically starts working within 2 minutes and lasts up to 12 hours.

4. Important Precautions & Warnings:

• Duration of Use: Do not use for more than 3 to 5 consecutive days to avoid "rebound congestion" (where the nose becomes more congested once the drug is stopped).
• Hygiene: To prevent the spread of infection, each bottle should be used by only one child.
• Read the Leaflet: It is essential to read the patient information leaflet enclosed with the medication.
