Overview
Xylocon 0.05% Nasal Drop is drops with Xylometazoline hydrochloride 0.05% declared as its active content. It is supplied in a pack size of 10ml.
This is a non-prescription product and can be purchased without a prescription. Only product, safety and handling details are published on this page.
An online consultation with a DoctorOnCall doctor or pharmacist is available for this product, and a registered pharmacist reviews each order before dispatch to Malaysia or Singapore. Follow the directions on the label and on the leaflet inside the pack.
Directions for Use
Clean the nose gently before use, tilt the head slightly back or lie down with the head tipped back, and instil the number of drops stated on the label into each nostril, avoiding contact between the dropper tip and the nose to prevent contamination; wipe the dropper clean after use and keep the bottle capped between doses. Use only as directed and do not exceed the recommended frequency or duration.
Dosage
Dosing follows the age directions on the product label — this 0.05% strength is generally intended for children within the age range stated on the packaging, using the number of drops specified per nostril up to a maximum of two to three times a day. Do not use for longer than about 5-7 consecutive days, as prolonged use of xylometazoline nasal drops can lead to rebound nasal congestion once the medicine is stopped.
Shelf Life
Use Xylocon 0.05% Nasal Drop before the expiry date printed on the bottle or carton, and discard the bottle after the in-use period stated on the label once opened, as nasal drops can become contaminated with repeated use.
Storage Instructions
Store below 30°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, keep the dropper bottle tightly closed between uses, and store out of the sight and reach of children.
Side Effects
- Temporary burning or stinging in the nose
- Sneezing

Contraindications
- Known hypersensitivity to xylometazoline or any ingredient in the drops

Drug / Food Interactions
- MAOI antidepressants, and within about 2 weeks of stopping one — risk of a significant rise in blood pressure when combined with decongestants
- Other decongestant nasal sprays/drops or oral decongestants — risk of duplicated effect and increased side effects; avoid using more than one decongestant product at the same time
- Certain blood pressure medicines — decongestants can reduce their effectiveness; check with a doctor or pharmacist if you have high blood pressure
Quick Tips
- Use for no more than 5-7 days in a row to avoid rebound congestion
- Don’t share the dropper bottle between family members to avoid spreading infection
- Clean the nose gently before applying the drops for better effect
- Avoid touching the dropper tip to the inside of the nose
- Stop and see a pharmacist if congestion returns quickly after each dose or gets worse after several days
- Keep well out of children’s reach — accidental swallowing of decongestant drops can be dangerous in young children

How long will delivery take?
Within Malaysia, standard delivery takes 3 to 5 working days. Same-day delivery is available in the Klang Valley for orders placed before 12pm; orders placed after 12pm arrive by the end of the next day.
Orders to Singapore are sent as international deliveries and take 5 to 9 working days. A lump-sum shipping and handling fee applies to every overseas delivery and is shown at checkout.
What payment methods can I use?
Customers in Malaysia can pay by FPX online banking, credit or debit card (Visa and Mastercard), and supported e-wallets including Touch ‘n Go eWallet, GrabPay and ShopeePay.
FPX and local e-wallets are tied to Malaysian bank and wallet accounts, so if your delivery address is in Singapore, use the payment options displayed at checkout for that address rather than assuming the same list applies.
Can Xylocon 0.05% Nasal Drop be delivered to Singapore?
Yes. DoctorOnCall ships to Singapore as an international order dispatched from Malaysia, arriving in 5 to 9 working days with a lump-sum shipping and handling fee.
Singapore’s Health Sciences Authority (HSA) allows personal imports of up to three months’ supply of a medicine for your own use or an immediate family member’s, as long as it contains no controlled drugs, psychotropic substances or prohibited items. Keep the product in its original labelled packaging and keep a copy of your prescription or doctor’s letter with it. Quantities above three months’ supply, and medicines containing controlled substances, require prior HSA approval.
Is Xylocon 0.05% Nasal Drop registered with the authorities?
Products listed on DoctorOnCall are registered with Malaysia’s Ministry of Health for supply in Malaysia, and each pack carries its MAL registration number.
An order delivered to Singapore arrives as a personal import of a Malaysia-registered product; HSA product registration is not required for personal-use quantities, but it is also not the same as a product registered for sale in Singapore. If you need a locally registered Singapore product, buy it from a pharmacy in Singapore.
Who do I contact if there is a problem with my order?
DoctorOnCall’s customer care team handles order, delivery and product queries through the contact channels on the site, including WhatsApp and the online help centre.
For deliveries to Singapore, allow more time before chasing an order than you would for a local Malaysian delivery, as the parcel passes through customs clearance and tracking updates can appear later in the journey.

Relevant Information
Precautions: Xylocon Nasal Drop is for short-term use only — using it for more than about 5-7 days in a row can cause the nose to become more congested once the medicine is stopped (rebound congestion). Use with caution in children within the age range stated on the label, and check with a doctor or pharmacist before use in anyone with high blood pressure, heart disease, an overactive thyroid, or diabetes, as decongestants can affect these conditions.
When to See a Doctor or Pharmacist: See a doctor or pharmacist if nasal congestion has not improved after 5-7 days of use, if symptoms worsen, if there is facial pain or fever suggesting a sinus infection, or if a child accidentally swallows the drops, as this needs prompt medical assessment.
