How Does it Work
Azelastine HCl 350 mcg / Budesonide 0.6 mg Capsules Size #1 is a combination antihistamine and corticosteroid used for the prevention and treatment of rhinitis. Azelastine is a histamine H1-receptor antagonist, or antihistamine, which works by preventing the symptoms of an allergic reaction. By blocking the histamine response, it helps to decrease itching, sneezing, and runny or blocked nose. Budesonide is an inhaled corticosteroid that acts locally to reduce inflammation in the nasal passages. It works by targeting and binding to specific receptors on cells within the body which reduces the production of inflammatory mediators within the body and prevents or reduces symptoms like stuffiness, sneezing and itching in the nose and eyes associated with a rhinitis. When taken in combination, these two medications work together to effectively control the symptoms of rhinitis.
Other Uses

Such a combination has been seen to reduce associated inflammation and improve the uncomfortable symptoms associated with allergic rhinitis.
