In a few cases, it may cause nosebleeds. In the case of improper use (head tilted back, see the dispensing guide), a bitter taste may enter the mouth, which may sometimes cause nausea and vomiting. Seasonal allergic rhinitis: The adverse reaction data of azelastine hydrochloride nasal spray were obtained from 6 controlled clinical studies of 391 patients who were given azelastine hydrochloride nasal spray twice a day, 2 sprays per nostril, for 2 days to 8 weeks. In the placebo-controlled efficacy trial, patients who received azelastine hydrochloride nasal spray discontinued the drug due to adverse reactions.

Special Population Medication

Precautions for children: There is no safety and efficacy data for the use of this product in children under 12 years old. Precautions for pregnancy and lactation: Reproductive toxicity studies of azelastine hydrochloride have shown that it has no effect on fertility. Since there is insufficient data on clinical drug use in pregnant women, this product should only be used when there is no appropriate choice for pregnant women. It is not known whether this product is metabolized through breast milk, but since breast milk is one of the metabolic pathways of drugs, it is recommended that breastfeeding women avoid using this product as much as possible. Precautions for the elderly: The number of clinical drug use cases in patients over 60 years old is small, and no valid conclusions can be drawn. However, adverse reactions after medication in patients over 60 years old are similar to those in patients under 60 years old.

Drug Interactions

1 When this product is used simultaneously with alcohol or other central nervous system depressants, it may cause decreased vigilance and central nervous system damage, so simultaneous use should be avoided. 2 Cimetidine (400 mg twice a day) can increase the Cmax and AUC of oral azelastine hydrochloride (4 mg twice a day) by an average of approximately 65%. Ranitidine hydrochloride (150 mg twice a day) has no effect on the pharmacokinetics of azelastine. 3 Drug interaction studies were conducted by taking azelastine hydrochloride orally and erythromycin or ketoconazole at the same time, and their effects on the heart were evaluated by measuring the QT interval. Oral erythromycin (500 mg, 3 times a day for 7 days) had no effect on the pharmacokinetics or QTc of azelastine.
