Astelin Nasal Spray Review

My daughter has been on Astelin Nasal Spray for a few years, and I recently found this website on Astelin. I noticed right away that they have a coupon for $20 off a prescription of Astelin and took advantage of that offer. I followed the directions carefully--it involves mailing in the receipt and a label, which is a pain, but it was worth $20.

Here is what the website offers:

• About Astelin--learn about benefits, how to use (including a video showing how to properly spray), and information for parents (geared toward parents of adolescents)
• Science and Symptoms--learn about allergic rhinitis (hay fever) and common allergy symptoms and look at treatment options, including prescriptions antihistamines, decongestants, corticosteroids, and immunotherapy (allergy shots--which is what I ended up using)
• Allergens and Irritants--learn about both and get a local pollen level by typing in your zip code (you can also sign up for pollen alerts through email--I signed up for this and got several alerts last summer when the pollen counts were unusually high)
• FAQ--common questions and answers about Astelin
• Offers and Resources--click to get the $20 coupon or check out the glossary or newsletter or click on links to related sites

My Viewpoint:

I have had allergic rhinitis for years, and my three daughters also have year-round allergies. My 7-year-old has greatly benefitted from using Astelin, and I was thrilled to get $20 of my last prescription. This website does have some useful information and answers many questions that people might have related to Astelin. This is a prescription nasal spray, so check with your doctor to see if he/she might think Astelin might help you.
