New allergy meds will hit the market this spring

March 1997

    Several new allergy meds will hit the market this spring...Astelin nasal spray...Patanol eye drops...OTC Nasalcrom...and a new Claritin.

    Astelin (azelastine) is the first ANTIHISTAMINE nasal spray.

    It's from Wallace. For seasonal allergic rhinitis...itchy, runny nose and sneezing. It seems to work as well for these symptoms as oral antihistamines or steroid nasal sprays.
