How it works

Sudafed Nasal Spray contains xylometazoline hydrochloride, a fast-acting nasal decongestant. It works by narrowing swollen blood vessels in the lining of your nose, which helps to reduce blockage and congestion. This makes it easier to breathe, especially during a cold, sinus infection, or hay fever flare-up. Relief usually starts within minutes and can last for several hours.
