Product information

What Oxalin Junior is and what it is used for

Oxalin Junior is a nasal gel medicine containing the active substance  oxymetazoline hydrochloride, which belongs to a group of medicines called sympathomimetics.

Oxalin Junior applied topically to the nasal mucosa, narrows the blood vessels, reduces  swelling of the nasal mucosa and inhibits excessive secretion, which facilitates free  nasal breathing. It unblocks the nasal passages and facilitates the drainage of secretions from the paranasal sinuses.

Oxalin Junior is in the form of a gel, which moisturizes the nasal mucosa and prevents the drug from flowing  to the bottom of the nasal cavity and the throat.

Oxalin Junior is intended for use by children over 6 years of age and adults.

• Oxalin Junior is used:
• in acute rhinitis;
• in vasomotor rhinitis;
• in allergic rhinitis;
