Rhinolast

The Rhinolast nasal spray contains azelastine which belongs to a group of medicines called antihistamines. Antihistamines work by preventing the effects of histamine produced by the body itself as part of an allergic reaction.

Rhinolast is used for the treatment of allergic rhinitis in adults, adolescents, and children over 6 years of age. Allergic rhinitis is an allergic reaction to substances such as pollen, dust mites, or animal hair.

It usually causes a runny nose, sneezing, itching, or nasal obstruction. Rhinolast can help you control these symptoms.

This allergy nose spray contains an ingredient called Azelastine Hydrochloride, which works by inhibiting the effects of histamine on those receptors that elicit the inflammatory response. By blocking this chemical reaction, the medicine helps prevent symptoms.

Rhinolast is also used for the treatment of eye disorders caused by allergy to substances such as house dust mites or animal hair (perennial allergic conjunctivitis) in adults and children from 12 years.
