Because rhinitis may be more than just allergic

ASTELIN® (azelastine HCl) Nasal Spray, 137 mcg, is the only marketed second-generation antihistamine that has been approved by the FDA to treat the symptoms of both seasonal allergic rhinitis in adults and children 5 years and older and nonallergic vasomotor rhinitis in adults and children 12 years and older. Your doctor may prescribe ASTELIN® Nasal Spray because Allegra®, Claritin®, Clarinex® and Zyrtec® are not indicated for both seasonal allergic rhinitis and nonallergic vasomotor rhinitis.
