About Winolap Nasal Spray

Winolap Nasal Spray belongs to the 'antihistamine' class of drugs, primarily used to treat signs and symptoms of seasonal allergic rhinitis and nasal allergy. It relieves congestion, sneezing, and runny nose caused by seasonal allergies. Allergic rhinitis is inflammation and allergy of the nose caused by an allergen, such as pollen, dust, mould, or skin flakes from certain animals.

Winolap Nasal Spray contains Olopatadine, which is an antihistamine drug. It inhibits the release of histamine (chemical messengers released due to an allergic response in the body) from mast cells. Thereby treats runny nose, sneezing, and itchy eyes.

Your doctor will advise on how often you need to take Winolap Nasal Spray based on your medical condition. Some common side effects of Winolap Nasal Spray include nausea, headache, nosebleeds, cough, throat pain/irritation, drowsiness, runny nose, fever, and bitter taste in the mouth. These side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. If the side effects persist or worsen, consult a doctor.

Do not use nasal spray while using depression medicines since it reduces alertness and may cause central nervous system impairment. It is advised to check with your doctor before using Winolap Nasal Spray if you are pregnant, currently breastfeeding, or if you are taking any other prescribed or non-prescribed medicines. Avoid driving or operating machines if you experience symptoms that may interfere with your alertness while using Winolap Nasal Spray.
