How Does it Work
Azelastine hydrochloride 0.175%/Budesonide 0.06% nasal spray is a combination intranasal corticosteroid and antihistamine nasal spray that is indicated to treat the symptoms of allergic rhinitis. Azelastine hydrochloride acts as an antihistamine, helping to reduce the amount of histamine in the body and preventing the symptoms of an allergic reaction. Budesonide is a corticosteroid, which works by reducing inflammation in the body, reducing the swelling and fluid production in the nasal passages and relieving the symptoms of allergic rhinitis. Together, these two medications can provide relief from the symptoms of rhinitis, including sneezing, runny nose, and stuffiness. Azelastine hydrochloride/Budesonide nasal spray should be administered once daily, preferably in the morning, and should be used consistently for best results. If tolerability or efficacy of the drug is not satisfactory after two weeks of use, the dose should be re-evaluated to ensure that it is providing the desired effects.
Other Uses
Azelastine Hydrochloride 0.175% / Budesonide 0.06% Nasal Spray can also be used to treat other allergic rhinitis symptoms such as congestion, runny nose, sneezing, and itchy/watery eyes. This compounded formulation can also be used for more specific treatment of seasonal allergies, known as allergic rhinoconjunctivitis. In addition, it can also be helpful for treatment of non-allergic rhinitis, which is generally caused by exposure to pollution and other irritants. Furthermore, it can also be used as a preventative measure against nasal polyps, which are growths in the nasal passages and sinuses that often involve swelling, pain, and discomfort.
