Astepro is a prescription medicine used for treating nasal allergy symptoms. It is a type of antihistamine that has been shown to help improve symptoms such as runny or stuffy nose, sneezing, and nasal itching. The medicine comes in nasal spray form and is typically used twice a day. Although most people tolerate it well, potential side effects include nosebleeds, headaches, and bitter taste.
Make you sneeze more could be side effects of using Astepro, as around 4% of the people who take this have complaints of nasal discomfort which may induce more sneezing.
Maybe ask your doctor to prescribe some alternative which would be more comfortable to your ailment.
Take care, best wishes!
