How does Nasocad work?

Nasocad contains oxymetazoline which is a nasal decongestant that works by causing constriction (shrinking) of blood vessels which are present in our nose. This results in the decrease of swelling and congestion in the nose which opens the nasal passages and relieves from nasal stuffiness that allows easy nasal breathing.
