| A commonly accepted theory is that rhinitis medicamentosa is a form of vasomotor rhinitis in which rebound arteriolar dilation is caused by disturbances in the autonomic control of the nasal mucosal vascular bed. Vasomotor rhinitis, caused by humidity, cold air, alcohol, perfumes, and other environmental conditions, also may be complicated by sinus infections. Astelin(R) Nasal Spray is indicated for the treatment of the symptoms of seasonal allergic rhinitis (patients 5 years of age and older) and nonallergic vasomotor rhinitis (patients 12 years of age and older). |
