Can i take an additional oral antihistamine with azelastine nasal spray? for chronic rhinitis, i find the affects of the spray wear off after 5 hours

Dr. John Chiu answered

Yes: There is no problem in using both. Have you tried a combination with both a nasal steroid and nasal azelastine? Consider seeing an allergist.
