WHAT AZELASTINE GALENICUM IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Azelastine Galenicum contains azelastine, which belongs to a group of

causing a runny nose,
sneezing, itching or blocked nose.
Azelastine Galenicum is used for the symptomatic treatment of seasonal
allergic rhinitis, and
acute exacerbations (attacks) of perennial allergic rhinitis.
Azelastine Galenicum
nasal spray is intended for use by adults, adolescents and children
over
6 years of age.
