Therapeutic indications.

Septanazal nasal spray contains xylometazoline hydrochloride and dexpanthenol.

Xylometazoline hydrochloride rapidly constricts blood vessels in the nasal mucosa and reduces its congestion, as well as mucus secretion. In this way, the sensation of nasal blockage disappears. Dexpanthenol is a derivative of pantothenic acid, a vitamin that promotes wound healing and protects the nasal mucosa.

Septanazal is used:

- for decongestion of the nasal mucosa in nasal inflammations (rhinitis) and for healing mucosal lesions,

- for the relief of non-allergic inflammation of the nasal mucosa (in vasomotor rhinitis), - for the treatment of impaired nasal breathing after nasal surgery.

It can be used in adults and children and adolescents over 6 years of age.

Dosage and administration.

Always take this medicine exactly as described in this leaflet or as your doctor or pharmacist has told you. Check with your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure.
