How to use Zeltas

Use this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Insert the bottle tip into one nostril and close the other nostril. Direct the spray towards the sides of your nostril, away from the cartilage dividing the two sides of your nose. As you spray, breath gently and keep the head upright. Repeat the same process for the other nostrils.

How Zeltas works

Zeltas is a combination of two medicines: Fluticasone Propionate and Azelastine, which relieves sneezing and runny nose caused due to allergies (allergic rhinitis). Fluticasone Propionate is a steroid which works by blocking the release of certain chemical messengers that cause inflammation (swelling) and irritation in the nose. Azelastine is an antiallergic which relieves allergy symptoms like runny nose, watery eyes and sneezing.

Quick Tips

The right way to use the nasal spray:
Avoid deep breathing as it will cause medication to go back to the throat and make it less effective.
Inform your doctor if you have an infection,injury or ulceration in the inside of the nose as Zeltas can increase the risk of nose bleed and ulceration.
Do not share the bottle with anyone else so that you do not spread germs.
