Information About Xylometazoline

Xylometazoline is a long-acting alpha-adrenoceptor agonist used as a nasal decongestant for allergic and non-allergic nasal congestion in Singapore. Available as a 0.05%–0.1% nasal spray applied two to three times daily as needed, it is HSA-registered and available on prescription only in Singapore. Like all topical nasal decongestants, use must be strictly limited to three to five days as prolonged administration invariably causes rhinitis medicamentosa — rebound congestion that can become increasingly difficult to resolve without formal decongestion management. A valid doctor's consultation is required before dispensing. Order Xylometazoline online at DoctorOnCall Singapore with same-day delivery available.
