Fornos is a medicine that is used to reduce swelling of the nasopharyngeal mucosa. Its active component is xylometazoline, which stimulates alpha and beta adrenergic receptors. Fornos is produced by several companies, including Novartis in Switzerland and India, Sandoz Private Limited in India and Ciba-Geigy in India.

Nasal is available in several dosage forms, including nasal drops and nasal spray, as well as nasal drops for children. It is used to treat acute allergic rhinitis, hay fever, sinusitis, otitis media and to prepare the patient for diagnostic procedures in the nasal passages.

Despite its effectiveness, Dlynos has a number of contraindications and side effects.
