Description
This Sudafed Nasal Spray is a form of treatment that works to relieve the effects of nasal congestion. Using this spray will help to open up the nose that has become blocked. This spray works thanks to the active ingredient xylometazoline which is a decongestant that thins the blood vessels that have become swollen as a result of an infection.
