Azelastine is an antihistamine that reduces the effects of the natural chemical histamine in the body. Histamine can produce symptoms such as a runny nose, itching, and watery eyes. Astelin nasal spray contains Azelastine and another ingredient called sodium chloride. It’s used to relieve symptoms of seasonal allergies (hay fever) in adults and children at least 5 years old.
Azelastine belongs to a group of drugs known as antihistamines. It works by blocking an enzyme that’s needed to cause certain allergic reactions, including sneezing and a runny nose.
