Why is it prescribed?

Ryaltris® is meant to be used to treat symptoms of moderate to severe seasonal allergic rhinitis (runny nose from allergies or hay fever) and related eye symptoms in adults, adolescents and children 6 years of age and older.

Ryaltris® is intended for use as a nasal spray only. Do not spray in the eyes or mouth.

Carefully follow the directions that come with the nasal spray.  Shake well before use.

This medication will start working within 15 minutes but you will get the best results by using it regularly, twice daily.

If you miss a dose, skip the missed dose and take the next dose at the regularly scheduled time. Do not take a double dose.

Store at room temperature, protected from light.  Do not use after 2 months of first opening.
