How Does it Work
Azelastine hydrochloride 0.175%/Ketotifen 0.05%/Mometasone Furoate 0.06% Nasal Spray is used to treat General Rhinitis and is composed of a combination of three antihistamine and anti-inflammatory medications: azelastine, ketotifen, and mometasone. Azelastine is an antihistamine which acts to reduce the histamine response causing sneezing, itching, swelling, and runny nose. Ketotifen is an antiallergic agent which works to reduce mast cell activity and the release of pro-inflammatory mediators responsible for allergic symptoms. Finally, mometasone is a corticosteroid which reduces inflammation. All three agents work synergistically to reduce the associated allergic symptoms of rhinitis. The combination of azelastine, ketotifen, and mometasone has been shown to produce rapid control of nasal symptoms with a single daily dose. In addition, the safety and efficacy of this combination of agents is well established following numerous clinical trials and studies. This combination nasal spray should be used intranasally as a single daily dose in patients aged 12 and older. With proper use of the combination nasal spray as prescribed, symptoms should begin to improve after 2-3 weeks of use.
