I've been dealing with allergic rhinitis for about 20 years now, and I've tried almost every antihistamine and nasal spray available. I recently came across a nasal spray called Azelast or Arzep, which has an antihistamine named azelastine HCl. I'm curious if it's safe to use this spray whenever I need to since it doesn't contain steroids. Can you shed some light on this?
