Mechanism of action

Vasoconstrictor drug for local use in ENT practice.
Alpha-adrenomimetik from the group of imidazoline derivatives. In low concentrations acts on a2-adrenoreceptors, in high concentrations, has an effect on a1-adrenoreceptors. When applied topically causes a narrowing of the blood vessels, which leads to a decrease in edema and hyperemia of the mucous membranes of the nasopharynx and a decrease in the amount of discharge.
Against the background of Galazolin's use, the nasal passages, the openings of the sinuses and the Eustachian tube are restored.
When applied topically at therapeutic concentrations does not irritate the nasal mucosa, does not cause hyperemia.
The effect of the drug begins after 5-10 minutes and lasts for 5-6 hours, after which the narrowing of the vessels lasts up to 8-12 hours.

When using the drug in the recommended doses, xylometazoline is practically not subjected to systemic absorption, in connection with this, there are no data on the pharmacokinetics of Galazolin.
