There are various different decongestant medicines available at LloydsPharmacy. Below are some common active ingredients in decongestants and how they work.

Pseudoephedrine is one of the active ingredients in some decongestants. This works by narrowing the blood vessels to decrease swelling and congestion. Another ingredient is Phenylephrine. This works by decreasing swelling in the nose and ears, thereby lessening discomfort and making it easier to breathe. Xylometazoline is often used in decongestant nasal sprays and helps to clear a blocked nose and sinuses caused by colds or flu, by contracting swollen blood vessels easing the feeling of stuffiness and congestion.*****
