Matibabu dalili:

Azelastine Hydrochloride Nasal Spray is indicated for the treatment of the symptoms of seasonal allergic rhinitis in adults and pediatric patients 5 years and older, and for the treatment of the symptoms of vasomotor rhinitis in adults and adolescent patients 12 years and older. None. Risk Summary Limited data from postmarketing experience over decades of use with Azelastine hydrochloride in pregnant women have not identified any drug associated risks of miscarriage, birth defects, or other adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. In animal reproduction studies, there was no evidence of fetal harm at oral doses approximately 5 times the clinical daily dose. Oral administration of azelastine hydrochloride to pregnant mice, rats, and rabbits, during the period of organogenesis, produced developmental toxicity that included structural abnormalities, decreased embryo-fetal survival, and decreased fetal body weights at doses 270 times and higher than the maximum recommended human daily intranasal dose (MRHDID) of 1.096

Bidhaa muhtasari:

Azelastine Hydrochloride Nasal Spray, 0.1% (137 mcg/spray) is supplied as a 30-mL package (NDC 51991-814-03) delivering 200 metered sprays in a high-density polyethylene (HDPE) bottle fitted with a metered-dose spray pump unit. The spray pump unit consists of a nasal spray pump fitted with a white safety clip and a white plastic dust cover. The net content of the bottle is 30 mL (net weight 30 gm of solution). Each bottle contains 30 mg (1 mg/mL) of azelastine hydrochloride. After priming [ see Dosage and Administration (2.3) ], each spray delivers a fine mist containing a mean volume of 0.137 mL solution containing 137 mcg of azelastine hydrochloride. The correct amount of medication in each spray cannot be assured before the initial priming and after 200 sprays have been used, even though the bottle is not completely empty. The bottle should be discarded after 200 sprays have been used. Azelastine Hydrochloride Nasal Spray should not be used after the expiration date "EXP" printed on the medicine label and carton. Storage: Store between 20-25°C (68-77°F); excursions permitted to 15-30°C (59-86°F). [See USP Controlled Room Temperature]. Protect from freezing.
