Nasal decongestant. Oxymetazoline is an imidazoline derivative of clonidine with alpha agonist activity. Its pharmacology is not perfectly established, but its topical vasoconstrictor effects appear to be due to binding to postsynaptic alpha-2 receptors, although certain alpha-1 effects cannot be ruled out. After topical administration, it causes vasoconstriction of the mucosal capillaries, reducing blood content and mucosal swelling, which produces a decongestant effect on the nasal passages.
The decongestant effects of oxymetazoline are longer lasting than those of alpha-1 agonists such as phenylephrine, although slower.
