Astelin Nasal Spray contains the active ingredient azelastine. It is a prescription medication used to relieve nasal allergy symptoms caused by seasonal or year-round allergic rhinitis.
Astelin Nasal Spray is used to treat seasonal allergic rhinitis, commonly known as hay fever. This type of allergy usually occurs during certain times of the year when pollen levels are high.
Common seasonal allergy triggers include pollen from trees, grass, weeds, and flowers. Exposure to these substances may cause inflammation inside the nose and lead to symptoms such as:
Astelin Nasal Spray works directly inside the nasal passages to help reduce these symptoms. It may make breathing through the nose easier and reduce the discomfort caused by seasonal allergies.
Astelin Nasal Spray may also be prescribed for perennial allergic rhinitis. Unlike seasonal allergies, perennial allergies can occur throughout the year.
Common triggers include:
People with perennial allergic rhinitis may experience ongoing nasal congestion, sneezing, itching, or a runny nose. Symptoms may be present every day or may become worse after exposure to a specific allergen.
Astelin Nasal Spray may be used in adults and children 5 years of age and older, as directed by a healthcare provider.
Azelastine belongs to a class of medications called antihistamines. Antihistamines help control allergic reactions by blocking the effects of histamine.
Histamine is a natural chemical released by the immune system when the body comes into contact with an allergen. Once released, histamine can cause inflammation and irritation inside the nasal passages.
This reaction may lead to:
Astelin Nasal Spray delivers azelastine directly into the nose. By blocking histamine in the nasal tissues, it helps reduce allergy symptoms at the source.
Because the medication is applied directly inside the nose, it mainly targets nasal symptoms. It does not cure allergies or remove the underlying allergy trigger, but it can help control symptoms while the medication is being used.
Astelin Nasal Spray may begin working sooner than some oral allergy medications. However, the response can vary from one person to another. Regular use as prescribed may provide better symptom control.
Astelin is a liquid nasal spray used to relieve symptoms of seasonal allergies, including sneezing, nasal itching, and a runny or congested nose. Use Astelin exactly as directed by your healthcare provider. Do not increase the dose or use it more often than prescribed.
Astelin is intended for use inside the nose only. Do not spray it into your eyes or mouth, and do not swallow the medication. Each bottle should be used by only one person to reduce the spread of germs.
Children may need help from an adult to make sure the correct dose is given and the spray is used properly.
For adults and adolescents 12 years of age and older, the recommended dose is:
The appropriate dose depends on the severity of the allergy symptoms and the instructions provided by the healthcare provider.
Do not use more than two sprays in each nostril at one time or more than four sprays in each nostril per day. Using more than recommended will not necessarily provide greater relief and may increase the risk of side effects.
For children 5 to 11 years of age with seasonal allergic rhinitis, the recommended dose is usually one spray in each nostril twice daily.
Before using the spray, gently blow your nose to clear the nasal passages.
Keep your head tilted slightly forward or downward. Do not tilt your head backward because this may cause the medication to run into your throat and leave a bitter taste.
Close one nostril with your finger. Place the spray tip just inside the other nostril and point it slightly away from the centre wall of the nose.
Press the pump while breathing in gently through your nose. Do not sniff deeply. A strong sniff may pull the medication into your throat instead of keeping it inside the nasal passage.
Repeat the process in the other nostril. When more than one spray is prescribed, alternate between nostrils until the complete dose has been given.
After using Astelin, breathe normally and keep your head tilted slightly downward for a short time. Avoid blowing your nose immediately after spraying.
Before using a new bottle for the first time, the spray pump must be primed. Remove the protective cap and pump the bottle several times until a fine mist appears.
The pump may also need to be primed again if the bottle has not been used for several days. Follow the instructions supplied with the medication because the required number of sprays may vary by product.
Priming helps make sure that each spray delivers the correct amount of medication.
Wipe the spray tip with a clean tissue after each use and replace the protective cap.
If the tip becomes blocked, remove it and rinse it with warm water. Allow it to dry completely before placing it back on the bottle. Do not try to clear the opening with a pin or another sharp object because this may damage the spray mechanism and affect the dose.
Use Astelin regularly according to the prescribed schedule. It may work best when used consistently rather than only when symptoms become severe.
Do not share the bottle with another person, even if that person has similar allergy symptoms. Sharing may spread bacteria or viruses.
Keep track of the number of sprays used. The bottle may still contain liquid after the labelled number of doses has been reached, but the remaining sprays may not provide the correct amount of medication.
Contact your healthcare provider if your symptoms do not improve, become worse, or require more medication than prescribed.
Astelin Nasal Spray (Azelastine) is available in the following forms and strength:
Astelin Nasal Spray is intended for use inside the nose only. Do not spray the medication into your eyes or mouth, and do not swallow it.
If the spray gets into your eyes, rinse them gently with clean water for several minutes. Contact a healthcare provider if eye irritation, pain, redness, or blurred vision continues.
Use Astelin exactly as directed by your healthcare provider or as stated on the prescription label. Do not use more sprays, use the medication more frequently, or continue treatment longer than recommended.
Using more than the prescribed amount may increase the risk of side effects without providing better allergy relief. Contact your healthcare provider if your symptoms do not improve or become worse during treatment.
Astelin may cause drowsiness or reduced alertness in some people. Although it is used inside the nose, some of the medication can still be absorbed into the body.
Do not drive, operate machinery, or perform activities that require concentration until you know how Astelin affects you. Use extra caution when you first begin treatment or after your dose is changed.
Alcohol may make drowsiness and reduced alertness worse. Avoid drinking alcohol while using Astelin unless your healthcare provider says it is safe.
Tell your healthcare provider if you take medicines or substances that can make you sleepy. Combining them with Astelin may increase dizziness, drowsiness, poor coordination, or difficulty concentrating.
Do not combine Astelin with another allergy medication unless a healthcare provider or pharmacist confirms that the combination is appropriate.
Before using Astelin, tell your healthcare provider about all medical conditions you have. This includes any condition that may affect how safely you can use the spray or how well you tolerate its side effects.
The official prescribing information does not identify urinary retention or severe high blood pressure as specific major warnings for Astelin. However, your healthcare provider should still know about these conditions and review all your medications before treatment begins.
Astelin may cause irritation, burning, discomfort, dryness, or a nosebleed. Point the spray slightly away from the center wall of the nose to reduce irritation.
Contact your healthcare provider if nosebleeds are frequent, severe, or difficult to stop. You should also seek advice if you develop persistent nasal pain, sores, or irritation.
A bitter or unpleasant taste is a common side effect of azelastine nasal spray. This may happen when the medication runs down the back of the throat.
Keep your head tilted slightly downward while spraying and breathe in gently. Do not tilt your head backward or sniff deeply, as this may cause more medication to enter your throat.
Do not use Astelin if you are allergic to azelastine or any ingredient in the nasal spray.
Stop using the medication and seek immediate medical attention if you develop signs of a serious allergic reaction, such as:
Tell your healthcare provider and pharmacist about every prescription medication, over-the-counter medicine, vitamin, herbal product, and supplement you use.
This is especially important for products that cause drowsiness or reduce alertness. Your healthcare provider can check for possible interactions and determine whether any doses need to be adjusted.
Do not start, stop, or change another medication while using Astelin without first speaking with a healthcare provider or pharmacist.
Adults and adolescents 12 years of age and older with seasonal allergic rhinitis usually use one or two sprays in each nostril twice daily. Do not use more than two sprays in each nostril at one time or more than four sprays in each nostril per day. Follow the exact dose prescribed by your healthcare provider.
Talk to your healthcare provider before using Astelin if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding. Your healthcare provider will consider your symptoms, treatment needs, and the possible risks before recommending this medication.
Yes. Astelin may be used to treat vasomotor rhinitis, which is a type of non-allergic rhinitis, in adults and adolescents 12 years of age and older. Vasomotor rhinitis can cause symptoms such as a runny or congested nose and postnasal drip. These symptoms may be triggered by strong odors, smoke, changes in temperature, or other irritants rather than allergens.
Astelin may be used to treat seasonal allergic rhinitis in children 5 years of age and older. Children between 5 and 11 years of age are usually given one spray in each nostril twice daily. An adult should help younger children use the spray properly. For vasomotor rhinitis, Astelin is approved for adults and adolescents 12 years of age and older.
Astelin may begin relieving nasal allergy symptoms within a few hours after a dose. However, the response may vary from one person to another. Use the medication regularly as prescribed. Contact your healthcare provider if your symptoms do not improve or become worse.
No. Astelin is an antihistamine and is not considered addictive. It does not usually cause rebound congestion associated with the prolonged use of certain decongestant nasal sprays. However, you should still use Astelin only as directed by your healthcare provider.
