Uses:
Arzep Nasal Spray is an intranasal antihistamine used to treat irritation and inflammation caused by allergies. It is commonly used by people diagnosed with allergic rhinitis, which occurs seasonally by pollen, hay fever, and perennially by dust mites, animal fur, and other allergens. It provides relief from sneezing, runny nose, and itchy or watery eyes by blocking the release of histamine, a chemical that causes allergic symptoms.

Dosage and Administration:
     Arzep Nasal Spray contains azelastine hydrochloride, a potent, fast-acting, long-acting antihistamine. Azelastine binds to H1 receptors and blocks histamine-mediated actions, as well as acting directly on the mast cells to reduce the amount of histamine released.  This dual-action of Arzep Nasal Spray reduces nasal symptoms of allergic rhinitis like nasal congestion, runny, itchy nose, and sneezing.
