Additional Information

Azelastine hydrochloride targets itching and swelling through three mechanisms: it suppresses the release of allergy-triggering substances before symptoms develop (anti-allergic action), blocks histamine receptors to relieve symptoms and prevent them from spreading (antihistamine action), and controls inflammation to prevent symptoms from persisting or worsening (anti-inflammatory action).
• Each tablet lasts 12 hours, providing all-day relief with just 2 doses. • As an oral medicine, it is effective for widespread itching and swelling that topical creams cannot adequately cover. • Individual packaging makes it easy to carry.
