Natrol Plus (Sodium Cromoglicate + Xylometazoline Hydrochloride) Nasal Spray is specifically formulated for both the prevention and treatment of allergic rhinitis, including seasonal hay fever and perennial rhinitis. This nasal spray is particularly beneficial when these allergic conditions are accompanied by nasal congestion, helping patients achieve relief from blocked nasal passages.
Xylometazoline Hydrochloride:
- This is a sympathomimetic agent with alpha-adrenergic activity, meaning it stimulates alpha receptors in the nasal blood vessels.
- It works by causing vasoconstriction (narrowing of blood vessels), which in turn reduces swelling and congestion in the nasal passages.
- As a result, individuals suffering from colds, allergies, or sinus congestion can breathe more easily through their nose.
Sodium Cromoglicate:
- This component primarily acts locally on the nasal mucosa to prevent allergic reactions.
- It inhibits the release of inflammatory mediators, such as histamine and slow-reacting substances of anaphylaxis (SRS-A), which are responsible for allergic symptoms.
- Unlike antihistamines, it does not block histamine receptors but rather prevents the initial release of allergy-triggering chemicals.
- Additionally, it provides some level of inhibition against Type-III (late-phase) allergic reactions, which can occur hours after allergen exposure.
