Pharmacological action

Nasik is a combined nasal preparation for topical use containing Xylometazoline and Dexpanthenol.

Xylometazoline belongs to the group of local vasoconstrictors (decongestants) with alpha-adrenomimetic activity, causes narrowing of the blood vessels of the nasal mucosa, restores patency of the nasal passages, facilitates nasal breathing. The effect of the drug usually occurs a few minutes after its use and lasts up to 10 hours.

Dexpanthenol is a B vitamin derived from pantothenic acid. Dexpanthenol is converted in the body into pantothenic acid, which is a component of coenzyme A and participates in the processes of acetylation, carbohydrate and fat metabolism, in the synthesis of acetylcholine, corticosteroids, porphyrins; it stimulates the regeneration of the skin, mucous membranes, normalizes cellular metabolism, accelerates mitosis and increases the strength of collagen fibers. It has regenerating, metabolic and weak anti-inflammatory effects.

PHARMACOKINETICS

Xylometazoline is practically not absorbed when applied topically, and plasma concentrations are so low that they cannot be determined by modern analytical methods.

Dexpanthenol, when applied topically, is rapidly absorbed by the skin and converted to pantothenic acid, binds to plasma proteins (mainly beta-globulin and albumin). Its concentration in the blood is 0.5-1 mg/l, in the blood serum-100 mcg/l. Pantothenic acid is not metabolized in the body (except for inclusion in Co-A), it is excreted unchanged.
