Key points

  • Corticosteroid nasal sprays, such as Flonase and Rhinocort, are listed to reduce inflammation in the nasal passages.
  • Dymista combines an antihistamine with a corticosteroid in a single nasal spray.
  • Atarax (hydroxyzine) is a first-generation antihistamine here, also listed for pruritus and pre-operative sedation rather than allergy alone.
  • Patanol Eye is the only eye drop among the eight products in this range, listed for allergic conjunctivitis.

Antihistamine tablets and a combination spray

Clarinex (desloratadine) is listed for allergic rhinitis and chronic idiopathic urticaria, and Ilaxten (bilastine) for allergic rhinoconjunctivitis and urticaria. Azelastine is the antihistamine that Dymista’s nasal spray pairs with a corticosteroid.

Corticosteroid sprays and other listed uses

Fluticasone propionate is the corticosteroid in Flonase, and budesonide is the corticosteroid in Rhinocort. Each is listed for allergic rhinitis, and Rhinocort is also listed for nasal polyps. Montair (montelukast) is listed for allergic rhinitis as well, alongside asthma and exercise-induced bronchoconstriction prevention.
