Follow your doctor’s instructions precisely for using Arzep Nasal Spray in the nose. It is used as a nasal spray, so never consume it orally. You should use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Before using it, inform your doctor if you have an infection, injury, or ulceration on the inside of the nose. It may cause nasal irritation and a bitter taste in some people. However, these are temporary and resolve with time. If they do not go away and you are bothered by these side effects, let your doctor know.
Arzep Nasal Spray works by blocking the release of a naturally occurring substance in our body known as histamine, that is responsible for producing symptoms of allergies such as runny nose, sneezing and red or watery eyes.
Approximately 75% of an oral dose of radiolabeled azelastine hydrochloride was excreted in the feces with less than 10% as unchanged azelastine. Azelastine is oxidatively metabolized to the principal active metabolite, desmethylazelastine, by the cytochrome P450 enzyme system.
Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them
