How does azelastine work?
Azelastine is an antihistamine that works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance released by the body during an allergic reaction. Azelastine works by blocking the H1 receptors on cells, which are receptors that are normally activated by the chemical histamine. By blocking histamine, azelastine helps to relieve allergy symptoms such as nasal congestion, stuffy nose, sneezing, itching, and runny nose associated with allergic rhinitis.

If it is near the time of the next dose, skip the missed dose. Use your next dose at the regular time. Do not double the dose to catch up.
