Vibrocil nasal drops, solution, 2.5 mg/0.25 mg/ml, 15 ml, Gsk

Vibrocil nasal drops contain a nasal decongestant (phenylephrine) and an antihistamine (dimetinden maleate) as active ingredients.

Vibrocil nasal drops provide rapid and long-lasting relief from nasal congestion and runny nose, symptoms present in a wide variety of infectious or allergic diseases of the upper respiratory tract.

Indications:

• Cough, acute and chronic rhinitis, seasonal allergic rhinitis (hay fever) and non-seasonal, acute and chronic sinusitis, pre- and post-operative care
• Adjuvant in acute otitis media
• Vibrocil nasal drops can also be used as an adjuvant treatment in case of otitis media
• Vibrocil nasal drops can be prescribed by the doctor for pre- and post-operative care in case of nasal surgery.

Action:

• Vibrocil cleans the nose while respecting the physiology of the vibrating cilia and the nasal mucosa
• Through its selective action on the alpha 1-adrenergic receptors of the cavernous venous system of the nasal mucosa, phenylephrine exerts a mild vasoconstrictor effect that allows for rapid and lasting decongestion
• Dimetinden maleate, an anti-H1 antihistamine, is an antiallergic substance effective in small doses and well tolerated.

Composition:

Active ingredients: Dimetinden maleate 0.25 mg, phenylephrine 2.5 mg; flavorings; preservatives: benzalkonium chloride; excipients and solution for 1 ml.
