Ask about prescription combination nasal sprays (Dymista, Ryaltris)

What to Do

Ask your doctor about Dymista (azelastine + fluticasone) or Ryaltris (olopatadine + mometasone) if you need more relief than a single nasal spray provides.

Why It Works

These prescription sprays combine a nasal antihistamine with a nasal corticosteroid in a single device. The antihistamine provides fast-onset relief (within 15 minutes) while the corticosteroid builds sustained anti-inflammatory protection. Studies show the combination is more effective than either component alone.

Tips

• These are the step-up option when OTC nasal corticosteroids alone are insufficient
• Convenience of one spray instead of two separate products
• Insurance coverage varies — ask about manufacturer savings cards
• Same proper technique applies: aim away from septum, gentle sniff
