Overview

Hayfever symptoms like sneezing, congestion, and an itchy nose can strike suddenly and feel overwhelming. Rhinolast nasal spray works quickly to block the effects of histamine, tackling symptoms at their source. Fast-acting and long-lasting, it provides direct relief from nasal allergies — so you can breathe easier, stay focused, and get on with your day without hayfever slowing you down.

This medicine requires a secure online consultation with a UK-registered prescriber, and will only be supplied if clinically appropriate.


What is Rhinolast


Rhinolast contains azelastine hydrochloride, an antihistamine nasal spray that works by blocking histamine receptors directly in the nose. By targeting the nasal passages, it helps reduce allergic reactions at their source, providing effective relief from both seasonal hay fever and year-round allergic rhinitis caused by dust, pets, or mould.

Relief begins within minutes of use, making Rhinolast a fast-acting option for troublesome symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, nasal itching, and congestion. Because it works locally in the nose, it tackles symptoms right where they are most disruptive, and it can also be used alongside oral antihistamines if extra support is needed.

Directions

  • Adults (18+): One spray into each nostril twice daily
  • Shake bottle gently before use
  • Use consistently during allergy season, or as prescribed for year-round symptoms
  • Relief may be felt within minutes after spraying

Side Effects

Like all medicines, Rhinolast (azelastine nasal spray) can cause side effects, although not everyone will experience them. Most are mild, short-lived, and improve as your body adjusts to treatment.

Common (may affect up to 1 in 10 people):

  • Bitter taste in the mouth – this can sometimes occur after spraying. Tilting your head forward slightly when using the spray may help reduce this.
  • Nasal irritation or sneezing after application – a brief stinging or sneezing episode may happen but usually settles quickly.
  • Headache – typically mild and temporary.


Less common (may affect up to 1 in 100 people):

  • Drowsiness or fatigue – a small number of people may feel slightly sleepy or more tired than usual.
  • Dry mouth – mild dryness may occur but usually resolves with continued use.
  • Nosebleeds – generally light and short-lived.


Rare but serious (seek urgent medical advice):

  • Severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) – symptoms include swelling of the face, lips, tongue or throat, difficulty breathing, or a sudden rash. This is extremely rare but requires immediate medical help.


Most people tolerate Rhinolast well, and side effects (if they do occur) are usually mild and temporary. If you are worried about any symptoms, or if they do not improve, speak to your doctor, pharmacist, or prescriber.

Disclaimer: This is not a complete list of side effects. Always read the patient information leaflet that comes with your medicine for full details. If you experience severe or worrying symptoms, seek medical advice straight away. In an emergency, call 999 or go to A&E.

Warnings

Rhinolast may not be suitable if you:

  • Are allergic to azelastine or any ingredients in the spray
  • Have had previous sensitivity to antihistamines
  • Are pregnant or breastfeeding (seek medical advice first)


Avoid driving or operating machinery if the spray makes you feel drowsy.
