Rhinol (TRAMAZOLINE)

Phase 2 active Small molecule ✓ Verified May 2026

Rhinol (generic name: TRAMAZOLINE) is a tramazoline drug. It is currently in Phase 2 development for Allergic conjunctivitis, Allergic rhinitis, Common cold.

Rhinol works by activating the alpha-2A adrenergic receptor to constrict blood vessels in the nasal passages.

Rhinol (Tramazoline) is a small molecule drug that targets the alpha-2A adrenergic receptor. It is used to treat various nasal and respiratory conditions, including allergic conjunctivitis, allergic rhinitis, and common cold symptoms. The commercial status of Rhinol is unknown, and it is not clear if it is patented or available as a generic medication. Key safety considerations include potential side effects such as dry mouth, dizziness, and headache. As a vasoconstrictor, Rhinol works by narrowing blood vessels in the nasal passages to reduce congestion and discharge.
