Azelast Plus Spray 25 Ml

Azelast Plus Spray

Description:

Azelast Plus 125/50 mcg Nasal Spray 25 ml is a prescription combination nasal spray containing azelastine and fluticasone propionate, used for the effective relief of allergic rhinitis symptoms. It is a medicinal nasal spray designed to treat seasonal and perennial (non-allergic) rhinitis, including nasal congestion, sneezing, runny nose, and itching. Azelastine is an antihistamine and mast cell stabilizer that blocks histamine and other mediators of allergy, while fluticasone propionate is a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation in the nasal passages. Together, they provide fast, long-lasting relief from allergy-related nasal symptoms and improve breathing comfort.

Indications:

• Symptomatic treatment of seasonal allergic rhinitis (hay fever), including sneezing, nasal itching, runny nose, and nasal congestion.
• Symptomatic treatment of perennial/non-allergic rhinitis with persistent nasal obstruction, discharge, and irritation.
• Relief of nasal symptoms associated with environmental allergens such as dust, pollen, pet dander, and molds.
• Helps reduce inflammation and swelling of the nasal mucosa to improve airflow and breathing through the nose.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Azelastine hydrochloride – 125 mcg per spray (exact per-spray content may vary by market; only 125 mcg strength is stated in product name. Detailed per-spray concentration is not provided in the available information (For full ingredient information, please check the product leaflet or the manufacturer’s official website.)).
• Fluticasone propionate – 50 mcg per spray (exact per-spray content may vary by market; only 50 mcg strength is stated in product name.

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Use only as directed by your physician or according to the patient information leaflet provided with the product.
• Typical adult and adolescent dose (12 years and above, if prescribed): usually 1 spray into each nostril twice daily (morning and evening). Exact dosing regimen must be confirmed by a healthcare professional as it may vary by patient and local product labeling.
• Before first use, shake the bottle gently and prime the spray (if required) by pressing the pump several times until a fine mist is produced (refer to package insert for exact priming steps; not fully available in current data).
• Gently blow your nose to clear the nostrils before application.
• Hold the bottle upright, insert the nozzle into one nostril while closing the other nostril with a finger, and spray while gently inhaling through the nose.
• Repeat the procedure in the other nostril as directed.
• Avoid spraying directly onto the nasal septum (the cartilage between the nostrils) to reduce risk of irritation.
• Do not exceed the recommended dose or frequency. Do not use for longer than prescribed without medical advice.
• If a dose is missed, use it as soon as you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose. Do not double the dose.
• For intranasal use only. Do not swallow. Do not spray into eyes or mouth.

Clinical Benefits:

• Provides dual-action allergy relief by combining an antihistamine (azelastine) with an anti-inflammatory corticosteroid (fluticasone propionate).
• Rapidly reduces sneezing, nasal itching, and runny nose associated with seasonal and perennial allergic rhinitis.
• Effectively relieves nasal congestion by reducing swelling and inflammation of the nasal mucosa, improving airflow and breathing.
• Helps control persistent allergy symptoms throughout the day when used regularly as prescribed.
• Targets the nasal passages directly, providing localized action with reduced systemic exposure compared to oral medications.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• Contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity or allergy to azelastine, fluticasone propionate, or any of the product’s excipients.
• Use with caution in patients with recent nasal surgery, nasal ulcers, or ongoing nasal infections; consult a doctor before use.
• Long-term use of intranasal corticosteroids may be associated with nasal septum perforation, increased intraocular pressure, glaucoma, cataracts, or growth retardation in children; regular medical monitoring is advised if used for extended periods.
• Use with caution in patients with tuberculosis, untreated fungal, bacterial, or viral infections of the respiratory tract, or systemic infections.
• Consult your doctor before use if pregnant or planning pregnancy. Use in pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus.

• Use with caution in patients with severe liver disease or immunosuppression.
