pharmachologic effect

The drug Nazol is designed for topical application. It has strong androgenymimetic activity due to the action of the active components of its constituents.
    The vasoconstrictor effect of Nazoleum makes it easier to breathe through the nose and eliminate swelling of the mucous membranes of the upper respiratory tract. This is a consequence of the most active component of the drug - phenylephrine hydrochloride (belonging to the group of alpha1-adrenomimetics). Which, also, without disturbing the function of the nasal mucosa, is able to eliminate stagnant phenomena in it.
In addition, Nazol has a moisturizing and soothing effect, which is due to the properties of the glycerol entering it.
