General Actions (Not specific medical benefits for the user)
| Core Action | Mechanism |
| Rapid Decongestion | Oxymetazoline is a direct-acting $\alpha_{1}$-adrenergic receptor agonist. When applied locally, it causes immediate and strong vasoconstriction (narrowing) of the blood vessels in the nasal lining. |
| Shrinks Swollen Mucosa | By constricting the blood vessels, it significantly reduces the swelling and inflammation of the nasal turbinates (mucosa), which rapidly opens up the nasal passages and clears the blockage. |
| Long-Lasting Relief | The decongestant effect of Oxymetazoline is generally prolonged, often lasting for up to 12 hours, allowing for convenient twice-daily dosing. |
| Relieves Sinus Pressure | By clearing the nasal passages, it helps to open the sinus drainage pathways, relieving the uncomfortable pressure and pain associated with sinusitis. |

Afrin Nasal Drops is a medical product. This medication should not be used for more than 3-5 consecutive days. Prolonged or excessive use can lead to rebound congestion (Rhinitis Medicamentosa), a severe form of dependency where the nose becomes permanently congested without the medication.
