Olynth 0.1% Nasal Spray 10 ml

OLYNTH® 0.1% nasal spray belongs to a group of medicines called otorhinolaryngology. 

Olynth 0.1% Nasal Spray contains the active substance xylometazoline, which causes blood vessels to be withdrawn at the site of action, thereby reducing swelling of the mucous membranes, and consequently facilitating nose-breathing and improving mucus release. 

It is given 3 times a day, 1 dose of solution into each nostril. 

The onset of action usually occurs within 5-10 minutes. 

Unless otherwise advised by the physician, adults and children from the age of 7 inject up to 3 times a day 1 dose of OLYNTH® 0.1% nasal spray into each nostril. Dosage depends on the patient's sensitivity and the effect of the product.
