How should I take Astelin?

Stacy Wiegman, PharmD

Pharmacy

You should take Astelin as directed, for the amount of time required and in the exact dose as prescribed by your doctor. Taking too much, too little, or not taking it as prescribed will have negative effects. Be sure to only spray Astelin in your nose. If it gets in your eyes or mouth, rinse the area immediately. It is also recommended that you blow your nose prior to using the spray.
