Uses
L-Nordefrin is a topical sympathomimetic amine found in local anesthetic products that is used for nasal decongestion or vasoconstriction during dental procedures.
Used as a topical nasal decongestant and vasoconstrictor in dentistry.
How L-Nordefrin works
It is designed to mimic the molecular shape of adrenaline. It binds to alpha-adrenergic receptors in the nasal mucosa. Here it can, therefore, cause vasoconstriction.
