Pharmacological properties
Pharmacodynamics
The active ingredient in the drops of Nazol Baby is phenylephrine, a sympathomimetic (α1-adrenergic receptor agonist). When applied topically in ENT practice, it has a vasoconstrictor effect due to the stimulation of α1-adrenergic receptors of the nasal mucosa. The drug reduces the hyperemia of the tissues of the nasal mucosa, reduces swelling and congestion, and also improves the patency of the nasal airways.
Pharmacokinetics
Since Nazol Baby is used topically, it has little systemic absorption.
