How Zylo Nasal Drops Kids works

Xylometazoline is a topical nasal decongestant (alpha-adrenergic agonist). It constricts dilated blood vessels in the nasal mucosa, reducing swelling and mucus formation, thereby improving airflow through the nose.

How to take Zylo Nasal Drops Kids

For intranasal use only. Instil the prescribed number of drops into each nostril as advised by a doctor, usually 1–2 drops per nostril up to 2–3 times daily. Use for a short duration only (generally not more than 3–5 days). Clean the nose before use and avoid touching the dropper tip.

Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.
