Astelin (Azelastine) Buyer and Patient Handbook in Singapore
Astelin (Azelastine) is a nasal-spray antihistamine approved for Allergic Rhinitis, providing rapid relief of sneezing, itching and runny nose.
What is Astelin?
Astelin is an intranasal antihistamine belonging to the allergy-asthma medication class. It contains the active ingredient azelastine and is indicated for seasonal and perennial allergic rhinitis. The product is FDA- and EMA-approved and is supplied as a 10 ml sprayer.
Who Should Use Astelin?
- Adults and children ≥ 2 years of age.
- Individuals experiencing nasal symptoms due to pollen, dust, pet dander or mold.
- Patients seeking a non-sedating option for daily allergy control.
How Does It Work?
Azelastine blocks H1 histamine receptors in the nasal mucosa, preventing the cascade that causes swelling, itching and excessive mucus. By stopping histamine’s action, the spray quickly restores clear breathing, allowing you to go about work, study or exercise without interruption. The medication has a low potential for misuse or dependence.
Why Choose Astelin?
Astelin offers a well-established brand reputation with consistent spray delivery and proven clinical efficacy. It provides fast symptom relief within minutes, which many generic azelastine sprays match in active ingredient but may differ in device convenience. If cost is a primary concern, comparable generic versions are available and deliver the same therapeutic effect.
Dosage, Administration, Lifestyle and Dietary Recommendations
Recommended Dosage
One spray into each nostril twice daily (morning and evening) using the 10 ml bottle.
How to Take
- Gently blow your nose to clear mucus.

Reviews
First week on Astelin. It's weird, it works almost instantly to unclog my nose, but the taste... oh man. It drips down my throat and it's this horrible bitter chemical taste that lingers for ages. My doctor said to tilt my head forward, not back, when spraying. Helps a bit, but still gross. Also makes me super drowsy for the first hour.
Been using this for 3 years for my perennial allergic rhinitis. It's the only thing that keeps me functional during haze season. The key is to prime the pump properly if you haven't used it for a day or two, otherwise you get a crazy strong blast. The drowsiness went away after the first month. Dry nose is a thing, so I use a saline spray in the afternoon.
Astelin is a lifesaver for my itchy, watery eyes from pollen. But it's a double-edged sword. If I use it more than twice a day, the inside of my nose gets so dry it feels like it's cracking. Found a hack online: wait at least 5 minutes after using a saline rinse before spraying Astelin. Makes a huge difference in comfort.
My ENT prescribed this after Flonase stopped working. It's effective, no doubt. But the side effect nobody warned me about is the weird dreams. Not nightmares, just... super vivid and bizarre. Also, if you accidentally sniff too hard right after spraying, you get this awful headache behind your eyes. Small price to pay for breathing, I guess.
I've tried every spray under the sun. Astelin works fast, but the fatigue hit me like a truck. I can't use it in the morning. My routine now is to use it ONLY at night, right before bed. By morning, the congestion is still gone and I'm not a zombie at work. The bitter taste is still there, but you learn to live with it.
For me, it helps with the sneezing fits but does zero for a runny nose. It's strange how it targets specific symptoms. The spray bottle itself is kind of cheap feeling compared to others. Pro tip: shake the bottle well before each use. I didn't at first and felt like it wasn't working. Shaking it makes the spray more consistent.
After 6 months, my nosebleeds started. Not bad, just a little blood when I blow my nose. Doctor said it's common with antihistamine sprays. Told me to use a tiny bit of petroleum jelly inside my nostrils at night. That fixed it. So it's manageable, but you have to be proactive. Works great for my allergy-induced sinus headaches.
This stuff tastes like poison. Seriously. But it kills my allergies dead. The trick is to spray, then immediately take a sip of juice or something sweet to wash the taste away. Don't wait. If you wait even 10 seconds, it's too late and the bitterness sets in for good. It's a trade-off I'm willing to make for two weeks of relief.
