Arzep 10 mL Nasal Spray

Arzep 10 mL Nasal Spray is a prescription allergy medicine containing azelastine hydrochloride in a 10 mL spray bottle. Azelastine is an antihistamine used inside the nose to help relieve symptoms of allergic rhinitis such as sneezing, runny nose, itchy nose, and nasal congestion. Arzep 10 mL Nasal Spray works locally in the nasal passages and is intended for patients whose doctor has chosen this spray form for allergy control.

How it works: Azelastine blocks histamine, a natural substance your body releases during an allergic reaction, which helps reduce allergy symptoms. Because Arzep 10 mL Nasal Spray is applied directly into the nose, it starts working where allergy symptoms happen most.

Arzep 10 mL Nasal Spray is a bottle size of the azelastine nasal spray formulation, so it is meant for people who need a practical supply for regular use rather than a one-time treatment. Compared with lower-volume packs, the 10 mL Arzep nasal spray may be chosen for ongoing allergy symptoms and for patients who need a convenient, easy-to-carry spray that delivers the same medicine through the nose.

• Seasonal allergic rhinitis
• Perennial allergic rhinitis
• Sneezing due to allergies
• Runny nose from allergies
• Itchy nose
• Nasal congestion from allergic rhinitis

• Use Arzep 10 mL Nasal Spray only exactly as your doctor prescribed.
• Shake the bottle if directed in the product instructions and prime the spray before the first use, or if it has not been used for several days.
• Blow your nose gently before using the spray so the medicine can reach the nasal lining.
• Keep your head upright, insert the nozzle into one nostril, close the other nostril, and spray while breathing in gently through the nose.
• Avoid spraying directly onto the nasal septum, and do not sniff hard after dosing.
• If you miss a dose, use it when you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose; do not double up.

Arzep 10 mL Nasal Spray provides 10 mL of azelastine nasal spray per bottle, and the amount used per dose depends on your prescribed regimen. Many patients use it once or twice daily, but the exact schedule and maximum daily amount must be set by the doctor based on age, symptoms, and response.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.

• Arzep 10 mL Nasal Spray can cause drowsiness, so be careful driving or using machinery until you know how it affects you.

• Tell your doctor if you have a history of kidney disease, liver disease, or frequent nosebleeds.
• Use caution if you have nasal sores, recent nasal surgery, or nasal trauma.
• Do not use more often or in larger amounts than prescribed, because higher exposure can worsen side effects like sleepiness and bitter taste.
• Tell your clinician if you take other medicines that make you sleepy, since the nasal spray can add to that effect.
