decongestant drugs
,oxymetazoline
MOA oxymetazoline
stimulates alpha-adrenergic receptors causing arteriole constriction at the nostrils
helping to drain nasal secretions
MOA expectorants
reduce secretion thickness by increasing hydration of respiratory tract
lower respiratory tract
trachea
bronchi
lungs
conditions of the lower respiratory tract
