Pharmacodynamics. An imidazole derivative, xylometazoline, is a sympathomimetic drug with an α-adrenergic type of action. It has a vasoconstrictor effect, which reduces swelling of the mucous membranes. Improvement in nasal breathing due to a decrease in swelling and discharge of the nasal mucosa occurs 5–10 minutes after taking the drug. Pharmacokinetics. When administered intranasally, the adsorbed amount of the drug may be sufficient to cause systemic side effects, for example from the central nervous system and the cardiovascular system. There are no data from pharmacokinetic studies for use in humans.

Treatment can be repeated only after a break in its use for several days.

Side effects of the drug Tizin xylo
Respiratory system. Tizin Xylo may cause transient, mild signs of irritation (burning sensation) in the nasal cavity. In some cases, when the effect of the drug decreases, an increase in swelling of the nasal mucosa (reactive hyperemia) may be observed. Long-term and frequent intranasal administration of xylometazoline, as well as its use in high doses, can lead to reactive hyperemia or dryness of the nasal mucosa, as well as reactive congestion (hyperemia, congestion) with signs of drug-induced rhinitis. This effect can be observed even after 5–7 days of treatment and after long-term use and lead to permanent damage to the mucous membrane of the nasal cavity with the formation of a scab ( rhinitis sicca ). Nervous system. In rare cases, headache, insomnia or fatigue may occur. The cardiovascular system. With local intranasal use, systemic sympathomimetic effects may be observed: increased heart rate and pulse, as well as increased blood pressure.

Special instructions for the use of the drug Tizin xylo
Long-term use and overdose of sympathomimetic decongestants (decongestants) can lead to reactive hyperemia of the nasal mucosa. This side effect can lead to airway obstruction, which in turn forces the patient to use the drug repeatedly or even continuously. This can lead to chronic edema (rhinitis medicamentosa), as well as atrophy of the nasal mucosa and osena. In some cases, it is possible to stop administering the sympathomimetic drug into the 1st nasal passage, and when the complication subsides, continue treatment with administration into the 2nd nasal passage in order to maintain at least partial nasal breathing. Tizin Xylo should only be used after a careful assessment of the benefit/risk ratio in patients:
- who have taken MAO inhibitor drugs or other drugs with potential hypertensive activity;
- with severe cardiovascular diseases (coronary artery disease, hypertension (arterial hypertension));
- with pheochromocytoma;
- with endocrine diseases (hyperthyroidism, diabetes).
