Nasex is a brand name of oxymetazoline and it is available in the form of nasal drops and nasal spray. It belongs to the class of drug known as an alpha-adrenergic agonist (sympathomimetic agent). It is an over the counter (OTC) drug that is used to provide relief from nasal congestion associated with common cold, hay fever, sinusitis, and allergic rhinitis.
Nasex contains oxymetazoline which is a nasal decongestant that works by causing constriction (shrinking) of blood vessels which are present in our nose. This results in the decrease of swelling and congestion in the nose which opens the nasal passages and relieves from nasal stuffiness that allows easy nasal breathing.
