For Allergic Rhinitis "Suffered from near constant allergic congestion my entire life. Claritin D would bring some relief, but not good for blood pressure. Doctor prescribed Azelastine and I LOVE it! No more congestion, period. No side effects either; I haven't experienced the taste issues others report."

Astelin (azelastine) for Allergic Rhinitis "I can breathe! No post nasal drip, no sticky eyes and no sinus pressure! An urgent care Dr told me to try it and I am so happy. I've been prescribed everything and frustrated with allergies and sinusitis, but this fixed all the symptoms."

For Allergic Rhinitis "I swear I'm allergic to this nose spray... Used it for months, every time I did use it I would have a sneezing fit, then it was followed by a headache, bloody nose. I just thought I had a sinus and upper respiratory infection I could never get rid of. Stopped using it and I feel great. Took a few days but no more.....what doctors thought was the sinus and upper respiratory infection."

Astepro (azelastine) for Allergic Rhinitis "Works good. Had chronic sinus drainage was in bed 5 days. Went to clinic to see a sinus Doctor who said I have allergic rhinitis with severe attacks nose, throat, neck, shoulders, nosebleeds. They put me on a new spray. Hopefully works better than flonase. I can't stand it anymore. Even get "allergy shots", will get even stronger shots per doc. Texas is bad to live if you have allergies"

For Allergic Rhinitis "Wow! I have fought with clogged nose since I can remember. Prescribed by my ENT and noticed a HUGE difference after the first dose. Using both azelastine and flonase, two sprays each nostril twice a day. Had been using the same dose of flonase, but without the azelastine and still had not just stuffy but clogged nostrils. I have not noticed any bad taste, even when using right before bed and lying on my back. And I have NO sneezing! I am amazed...I sneeze 3 times many times a day. Hoping this continues to be effective!"

For Allergic Rhinitis "The first time I used it my allergies and congestion went away almost instantly. But what happened even faster was that horrific taste in the back of my throat. I have experienced a bad taste with Nasalcort as well but that was mild and went away within 10 minute. The aftertaste of this drug is probably 5x worse and lasted about 6 hours. Nothing I ate or drank would mask it. Second time I used it was about 15 minutes ago. This time it shot further forward onto my tongue and I’m really dreading this. If there was a way to stop the taste, the drug would be fantastic."

For Allergic Rhinitis "I have pretty much constant allergies - all year I'm sneezing and clearing my throat. That has completely stopped by taking this spray twice a day. I cannot say enough good things about it. I initially had the bad taste and minor stinging. The stinging went away after a few uses. The bad taste was due to me not reading the directions! It clearly says to tilt your head downward when spraying. I started doing this and have had zero aftertaste. When it is severe allergy season, I use this with Nasacort. Works like a charm. If you're on the fence about taking this, give it some time. You'll be glad you did."

Astelin (azelastine) for Allergic Rhinitis "I have had Restless Legs since I was a teenager. All antihistamines aggravate this condition. Not Astelin, This is a dream come true to take care of my non-allergenic rhinitis, while not exacerbating my Restless Legs. Thank you so much."

Astepro (azelastine) for Allergic Rhinitis "Had serious chronic sinusitis with inflammation in the upper sinus and in the nose. The medicine helped significantly but I get a painful side effect, my whole upper muscles around the shoulders and neck became very tight, stiff and sore. "

For Allergic Rhinitis "I have had post nasal drip for years and years. Finally put on this drug. first good night sleep in a long time!! I use it once a day (even though prescribed twice) and only at night so can't say how drowsy it makes me. my only complaint is it makes my dry eye worse. I have not had any of the other side effects that people are mentioning here. I was about to go on a sleep aid since I wake up coughing all the time but this eliminated that issue!"

Astepro (azelastine) for Allergic Rhinitis "This was just awful for me. From the very first use, I only did one spray per nostril as directed. I had Immediate burning, itching, a bad taste in my throat, lots of tearing, runny nose. As soon as it calmed down I started feeling drowsy. Like I could hardly keep my head up. I may be allergic to an allergy medication. That seems so wrong!"

For Allergic Rhinitis "I want to give this medication a try based on the rave reviews, but this stuff makes me sneeze like crazy when I use it. And I mean these are BIG sneezes. one after another til I hit like 10. Then my nose runs for 20 minutes after. So, while I enjoy reading the rave reviews, I'm not so certain this is a "normal" side effect. I definitely don't sneeze like this on a normal basis"

Astelin (azelastine) for Allergic Rhinitis "Azelastine nasal spray has finally ended the stuffy nose and coughing that I've been dealing with forever. Taste isn't an issue if used correctly. It's much easier to wake up in the mornings without the never ending drowsiness that comes with some of the other antihistamines."

For Allergic Rhinitis "Holy cow! Immediate relief. When I travel to the Virginia area from Miami to visit family, my allergies are debilitating. This is the first time I've tried Azelastine and it works. Who cares about a slight taste in the back of your throat? It's mild and fleeting and well worth it. Thank you, universe, for this antihistamine."

Astepro (azelastine) for Allergic Rhinitis "Astepro has been a blessing to me. I have been a long time allergy sufferer. An ENT suggested regular dose of Allegra, Fluconase and Singular, plus I started allergy drops to begin building my immunity. This medicine regime seemed to bring everything more under control, except I began having a terrible cough it was more than a year and I finally told him I needed to do something about it. I had previously tested negative for asthma, but we tried an inhaler and Astepro (instead of the other nose spray). Wow, instant relief from the regular coughing due to the Astepro, the inhaler seemly offers nothing. I recommend this for coughing from post nasal or other allergy problems."

For Allergic Rhinitis "I've had a severe cough for approximately 2 months after getting over a cold. Cough is very dry there is a mucus build up in my chest. I finally went to the doctor and was told my cough was due to allergies and was prescribed codeine syrup for the cough. That didn't work. So I went back a couple of days ago and was prescribed the Azelastine Hydrochloride 137mcg. This was a miracle. The coughing subsided about a couple of minutes after inhaling it. It was such a relief. Over the last couple of days the cough has minimized substantially. The doctor told me to be aggressive with the allergies until they finally subside. So, I take the Azelastine, Flonase and Zyrtec everyday as the doctor suggested. So far, so good."

Astelin (azelastine) for Allergic Rhinitis "I woke up, for several months, with bizarre facial pressure; my sinus membranes "in" my eyes, my maxillaries, etc... felt inflamed and throbbed, subsiding only with the next night's sleep.... I don't think that I had bonafide, bacterial-based sinusitis, since flare ups tended to abate within twenty four hours and seemed to follow strenuous physical exertion (e.g., running) and menstrual cycally driven hormonal fluctuations. I found minimal relief, for these episodes, through saline rinses (which seem to work well for standard congestion) and had already been prescribed other nasal sprays, including fluticasone. 90% reduction in monthly symptom days. 2 bad days per month, max. I've never written a product review."

For Allergic Rhinitis "This worked great for post nasal drip and nasal congestion. Actually the first medication that I can ever recall doing such a great job. Two drawbacks for me: One, it makes me extremely tired, so I only take it at night. Two, it dries my throat out, necessitating throat lozenges and is just a general annoyance. I now use it only as needed."

For Allergic Rhinitis "I have battled allergies and sinusitis my whole life. I was prescribed this by a ENT and it's truly a blessing. No side effects only relief. I have tried every medication on the market and have had sinus surgery. This stuff is the best I've ever used. I just hope my sinuses don't build up a tolerance to it."

For Allergic Rhinitis "I just started this spray today. I can breathe but wowowow. I’m freaking out with the shakes and nervous big time. I feel like I’m coming out of my skin. I sprayed it right so I don’t taste anything. But I have high blood pressure and this is making me feel insane. I almost feel like I will be sick to my stomach. I’m so bummed. I can breathe but I can’t do this. Any tips on my side effects are welcome. Literally sweating. Thanks"

For Allergic Rhinitis "My husband and I both used azelastine nasal spray with different results. He experienced the sneezing which others have referenced. Azelastine was a big help to me and allowed me to stop using Benadryl and headache meds for sinus headaches. But we both noticed after daily use that the drowsiness is debilitating so I use it 'as needed.'. The drowsiness is different than Benadryl and other meds....we felt it made us 'stupid'.....and made me question if it's in the class of antihistamines that crosses the blood barrier to the brain. I don't think it's in that class, but we felt like it should be because of the strong side effect. Still use it for relief on on bad days."

Astepro (azelastine) for Allergic Rhinitis "I have allergies along with daily vertigo. Not only did this extremely helpful with the allergies, it virtually eliminated my daily vertigo. My ENT recommended this for my vertigo mainly. I have noticed others complain about sleepiness. I only use this at night."

For Allergic Rhinitis "I think this azelastine nasal spray helps me cope with my seasonal allergies when taken in addition to another allergy pill. I can’t say for certainty that it works well because most of the time, I immediately sneeze every drop of medicine out my nose. A couple of minutes after using Azelastine it makes me sneeze, at minimum, 8 times. And I sneeze HARD. I have not figured out how to keep this medicine in my head. I’ve tried sniffing it at different angles, and nothing works. It makes my nose tingle and I have out of control sneezes until my nose & eyes are watering."
