Drugs, 1981
When a patient presents with nasal obstruction a correct diagnosis must be made. Treatment may not always be required, and the need for intervention should be balanced against the risks of therapy. If the patient has an acute problem, such as the common cold or sinusitis, a topical decongestant may be the most immediately effective remedy, but this ...

Pharmacotherapy: The Journal of Human Pharmacology and Drug Therapy, 1993
Antihistamines and decongestants often are used interchangeably and in combination for a variety of upper respiratory illnesses ranging from allergic rhinitis to the common cold; yet, these two classes of drugs have distinct therapeutic actions. When administered alone, antihistamines are of no value in reducing nasal stuffiness.

Pharmacokinetics of Oral Decongestants
Pharmacotherapy: The Journal of Human Pharmacology and Drug Therapy, 1993Only three drugs are commonly used as oral decongestants—phenylpropanolamine (PPA), pseudoephedrine (PDE), and phenylephrine (PE). They are all chiral drugs that exist as stereoisomers. It is possible that each enantiomer can reflect significant enantioselective differences with regard to both pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic effects.

Der Hautarzt; Zeitschrift fur Dermatologie, Venerologie, und verwandte Gebiete, 2016The amount of physical pressure plays an important role in complex decongestive therapy (CDT).
