Scientific Evidence

Pharmacological effects: Azelastine hydrochloride is a potent, selective antagonist of histamine H1 receptors. It exerts its effect by inhibiting the release of histamine and other mediators from cells involved in the allergic response, thereby reducing symptoms such as nasal congestion, sneezing, and itching.

Clinical trials: Studies have shown that Allergodyl nasal spray provides significant relief from nasal symptoms associated with allergic rhinitis compared to placebo. In a randomized controlled trial by Smith et al., patients using azelastine nasal spray reported a significant improvement in nasal congestion and rhinorrhea.
