Description
Delufen Nasal Spray 20 ml.
Delufen nasal spray is a medication used to treat nasal congestion and symptoms associated with allergic rhinitis. It is available in a 20 ml. bottle and is administered through the nasal passages. This medication works by reducing inflammation in the nasal passages, relieving congestion and allowing for easier breathing.
How Delufen Nasal Spray Works
Delufen nasal spray contains the active ingredient oxymetazoline, which is a nasal decongestant. When administered into the nasal passages, oxymetazoline works by constricting the blood vessels in the nasal lining. This action reduces swelling and inflammation in the nasal passages, allowing for easier breathing and relieving congestion.
