Zeltas Nasal Spray

✔️ How does Zeltas Nasal Spray work?

Zeltas is a combination medication containing Fluticasone Propionate and Azelastine, designed to treat allergy symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, and nasal congestion caused by allergic rhinitis.

• Fluticasone Propionate: A corticosteroid that helps reduce inflammation in the nasal passages by blocking the release of certain chemical messengers responsible for swelling and irritation.
• Azelastine: An antihistamine that combats allergy symptoms by targeting histamine, a chemical responsible for sneezing, watery eyes, and nasal discharge.

Together, these two active ingredients provide comprehensive relief from the symptoms of seasonal and perennial allergies.
