Oxymetazoline (Afrin®) for Dogs and Cats

Overview of Oxymetazoline for Dogs and Cats

Oxymetazoline belongs to a class of drugs known as nasal decongestants. It is commonly known as Afrin®. The drug works for dogs and cats by stimulating receptors in blood vessels, leading to constriction (narrowing) of the small blood vessels within the nasal passages. This vessel constriction reduces blood flow and congestion within the nasal passages.
