How does the active ingredient in the medication work?

The active ingredient constricts the dilated blood vessels in the mucous membranes of the nose and eyes. This reduces excessive blood flow to the olfactory and visual organs and shrinks the mucous membranes. Patients can breathe more freely through their nose again. Furthermore, the constant runny nose stops. In the eyes, bothersome redness and nonspecific irritation disappear.

  • In case of overdose, inform your doctor immediately. Poisoning can occur through significant overdose or accidental ingestion.
