Dymista is the go-to prescription nasal spray for moderate-to-severe allergic rhinitis. It combines azelastine (a fast-acting antihistamine) with fluticasone (a powerful steroid) in a single bottle — giving you both immediate relief from sneezing and itching plus long-term control of inflammation and congestion.

Multiple clinical trials have shown Dymista outperforms either azelastine or fluticasone used alone. It's prescription only — an allergist will review whether it's the right next step after OTC sprays.
