Product Overview
Xylolin Plus Child Nasal Spray is a -available nasal decongestant formulated for paediatric use, containing xylometazoline hydrochloride at a concentration of 0.05% — the standard paediatric strength. Xylometazoline is an imidazoline derivative that acts as an alpha-adrenergic agonist, producing rapid vasoconstriction of the nasal mucosal blood vessels. This reduces swelling of the nasal mucosa, relieving nasal congestion and allowing easier breathing through the nose. The onset of action is typically within a few minutes of application, with effects lasting for several hours, making it an effective short-term relief option for nasal congestion associated with the common cold, acute rhinitis, sinusitis, and allergic rhinitis. The lower concentration (0.05%) is specifically calibrated for children's nasal anatomy and sensitivity, minimising the risk of systemic absorption-related side effects. The 10ml bottle delivers a metered dose spray for accurate, consistent dosing with each actuation. Xylolin Plus Child Nasal Spray is intended for short-term use only — typically no longer than 5–7 days — and should be used strictly as directed by a healthcare professional or in accordance with the product's patient information leaflet to avoid rebound congestion (rhinitis medicamentosa).
