Reviews of Xymelin

It is generally accepted to consider drops in the nose as the easiest auxiliary preparation that can be used alone. However, feedback about Xymelin is a confirmation of the fact that such medications can only be used according to the doctor's prescription.
Many patients talk about the occurrence of real drug dependence. Usually this occurs during the season of colds and allergic reactions, when people start to actively use these drugs and then can not refuse them because of addiction.
Those patients who used this drug in acceptable dosages and determined by the doctor were divided into those for whom the treatment was quick and effective and those who did not notice a particular improvement.
The main thing is to use any remedy for rhinitis with elementary caution. Each vasoconstrictor should be applied to clean and moistened mucous membranes. To do this, simple salt solutions or special means are used, for example, Physiomer or Aquamaris. It is interesting that sometimes only these washings become enough for recovery and the need for medications simply disappears.
