Decongestants

image Decongestants

Decongestants are medications that help relieve nasal or chest congestion, often caused by colds, flu, allergies, or sinus infections. They work by narrowing the blood vessels in the nasal passages and respiratory tract, reducing swelling and decreasing mucus production, which makes breathing easier.

Oral Decongestants:
Pseudoephedrine (e.g., Sudafed): One of the most common decongestants. It works throughout the body and can relieve nasal and chest congestion.
Phenylephrine (e.g., Lemsip): Similar to pseudoephedrine, though it's generally considered less effective. It's often found in over-the-counter cold and flu medications.

Nasal Decongestant Sprays:
Oxymetazoline (e.g., Afrin): Works by constricting the blood vessels in the nasal passages, providing almost immediate relief. However, it should only be used for a few days to avoid rebound congestion (where the congestion worsens after stopping the medication).
Xylometazoline: Another nasal spray option that works similarly to oxymetazoline.
