Stimulates Alpha Receptors: Oxymetazoline acts on the alpha receptors present in your nasal mucosa. These receptors respond to stimuli and initiate a response in your body.
Reduces Inflammation: By stimulating these receptors, Oxymetazoline causes constriction and narrowing of the blood vessels in your nasal passages. This results in reduced blood flow, which helps decrease swelling and inflammation.
Alleviates Nasal Congestion: The decrease in inflammation and swelling opens up the nasal passages, thereby relieving nasal congestion and making it easier for you to breathe through your nose.
