A strong, topical, alpha-adrenergic agonist that is indicated for the relief of nasal congestion due to colds, hay fever, allergic rhinitis and sinusitis. It may also be used to aid drainage of secretions in affections of the paranasal sinuses.23
A potent alpha-adrenergic agonist, producing vasoconstriction and decongestion via action on the vasculature of the nasal mucosa. It is indicated for the relief of nasal congestion due to colds, allergic rhinitis, and sinusitis. It may also be used to aid drainage of secretions from the paranasal sinuses by reducing mucosal swelling, and as an adjuvant in otitis media, to decongest the nasopharyngeal mucosa.24
Hypertonic seawater (2.2% salt concentration) provides a natural, direct decongestive effect by reducing swelling via the action of osmosis, and is capable of clearing the nose of mucus-trapped bacteria, viruses and impurities.25
The isotonic seawater solution can clear excess sticky mucus and encrusted debris to cleanse and unblock the nasal passageways.26,27
Nasal sprays containing aloe vera help to gently cleanse the nasal cavities in the presence of a blocked nose.28 As aloe vera contains moisturising properties, it promotes retention of moisture within tissues29 and soothes the nasal passages.28
