Medicine Description nasotal 2%
Nasotal 2% Nasal Spray is a medication that contains sodium cromoglycate, which acts primarily as a mast cell stabilizer. It prevents the degranulation of mast cells, which are involved in allergic responses. By inhibiting the release of histamines and other inflammatory mediators, sodium cromoglycate reduces inflammation and alleviates symptoms such as nasal congestion, sneezing, and runny nose. This mechanism effectively helps manage allergic rhinitis and other related conditions, providing relief from symptoms without causing constriction of blood vessels.
