Description

Astepro Adult SNG 60 Dose Spray 0.37 oz is an intranasal antihistamine used for the treatment of seasonal and perennial allergic rhinitis in adults and children over six years of age. The active ingredient, azelastine hydrochloride, is a second-generation H1 receptor antagonist that inhibits histamine release, reducing nasal congestion, sneezing, and rhinorrhea. Unlike systemic antihistamines, intranasal administration provides targeted relief with minimal systemic absorption.

Each spray delivers a precise dose of azelastine hydrochloride for rapid symptom relief. The onset of action occurs within 15 minutes, with peak effectiveness observed within hours. The drug remains active for up to 12 hours, allowing for once- or twice-daily dosing. It does not contain steroids, making it a suitable alternative for patients who cannot tolerate corticosteroid nasal sprays.

Common adverse effects include a bitter taste, headache, nasal irritation, and epistaxis. Some patients may experience drowsiness, although the risk is lower than with first-generation antihistamines. Caution is advised when operating machinery or driving, especially when initiating therapy.
