What is Arzep Nasal Spray (Azelastine) used for?

Arzep Nasal Spray (Azelastine) is an inhalable antihistamine prescribed to patients suffering from seasonal allergies.

Your doctor may also prescribe it to treat other unlisted conditions.

How should I use Arzep Nasal Spray (Azelastine)?

Use Arzep Nasal Spray (Azelastine) according to your doctor`s instructions to get the most effective results.

To administer the medication tilt your head back slightly, place the nozzle into your nostril, and inhale while manipulating the pump to dispense one spray. It is recommended to alternate nostrils if more than one spray is required to prevent irritation or discomfort. If you have not used the medication for several weeks it may be necessary to prime it by pointing it away from your face and operating the pump until one spray is dispensed. Ask your doctor any questions you have about using the medicine to ensure the correct usage.
