Can i take afrin nasal spray and azelastine around the same time? have cold and want afrin for stuffy nose. want azelastine for post nasal drip.

Yes: You can safely use afrin twice a day for 3-5 days without any prolonged harmful effects i.e. Rebound congestion. This would actually allow improved delivery of Astelin to your nasal passages when they are swollen.
