Pharmacokinetics. At topical administration drug is practically not soaked up therefore its concentration in a blood plasma is very small and is not defined by modern analytical methods.

Indications to use:

Apply at acute respiratory diseases with the phenomena of rhinitis (cold);
- acute allergic rhinitis, sinusitis;

It is necessary to appoint with care drug to patients with warmly - vascular diseases, arterial hypertension and the complicated urination.

Patients who at use of adrenergic drugs have the strong reactions which are shown in the form of sleeplessness, dizzinesses, a shiver, arrhythmias, the increased arterial pressure should appoint drug with care.

The preservative (a benzalkoniya chloride) which is contained in sprays nasal, especially at prolonged use can cause hypostasis of a mucous membrane of a nasal cavity. If there is a suspicion concerning emergence of such reaction (a long congestion of a nose), it is whenever possible necessary to use medicine for nasal use without preservative.

System reactions: spasmodic or a cardiopalmus, a sight illegibility, nervousness, a headache, sleeplessness, increase in arterial pressure, vomiting, a depression (at prolonged use in high doses).

Interaction with other medicines:

At use of spray of Ksilin in the recommended doses system effects are practically not observed. However, at simultaneous use of tricyclic or tetracyclic antidepressants, Maprotilinum, other adrenomimetik or monoamine oxidase inhibitors of manifestation of systemic action of xylomethazolinum can amplify, especially in cases of its overdose.

Adrenoblockers and antagonists of calcium weaken action of xylomethazolinum.
