About Azelastine4
Azep® delivers antihistamine directly to where it’s needed – in the nose. The active ingredient, azelastine, is a second-generation, non-drowsy antihistamine with a triple mode of action.
Azelastine has an antihistamine effect, which reduces allergy symptoms, and an anti-inflammatory effect, which reduces swelling and inflammation.
It also stabilises mast cells, which stops them releasing chemicals that can cause inflammation and nasal congestion.
