Astepro

For those using Astepro, do you spray it once a day or twice a day? One or two sprays per nostril? The prescribing information suggests it is not sedating. Has anyone found it to be sedating or is that really not an issue?

My wife uses Astepro....1 spray in each side twice a day. She has not noticed it to be sedating. (5'0"...115#)

I use Astepro and my allergist said I could use it either once or twice a day depending on the season. For me, my worst allergies hit between Jan and Apr here in FL..... our blooming season. But the rest of the time I am still fighting dust and mold allergies. I usually use it once a day; 1 spray per nostril. It is not sedating... I used to use steroid sprays but no matter which one I tried, I always got a lot of drying and bleeding from them. Astepro, while I hate the taste it leaves in my mouth, is a good choice for me as I don't get the bleeding.

My ent gave it to me, because I said I did NOT want a steroid spray..

my pul. doc said for me to use it twice a day and double dose each time..


No sedating effects noticed.. but it burns my throat so badly I cant sing if I use it in the morning.

Astepro is "Son Of Astelin" - Astelin has been available for years. Astepro is 0.15% solution of azelastine and Astelin is a 0.10% solution. I've used Astelin almost since it came out without problems.
