Xylometazoline + Sorbitol

Xylometazoline + Sorbitol is a commonly used nasal formulation that provides quick relief from blocked nose and nasal congestion caused by cold, sinusitis, or allergies. Xylometazoline works as a fast-acting decongestant that reduces swelling in the nasal blood vessels, helping open up blocked nasal passages and making breathing easier. Sorbitol acts as a moisturizing agent that helps prevent dryness and irritation inside the nose, keeping the nasal lining comfortable.

This combination offers both effective congestion relief and gentle care for the nasal tissues. It is especially useful for people who experience nasal dryness or irritation along with congestion. Easy to use and quick acting, Xylometazoline + Sorbitol helps restore normal breathing, improves comfort during sleep, and supports faster recovery from nasal discomfort when used as directed by a doctor.
