I've switched recently from Profi (which has scant scientific evidence) to Azelastine spray (jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...)

it's available over the counter in the US and Australia, but annoyingly, not in Canada so I have to stock up when I'm in those countries.

Me: oh my god I have been sleeping 20 hours a day this week what is WRONG with me
Also me: was prescribed azelastine nasal spray in hopes taming the postnasal drip would help the dysphagia, forgot it is a first generation H1 that readily crosses the blood/brain barrier

Interesting RCT w/450 participants. “In this single-center trial, azelastine nasal spray was associated with reduced risk of SARS-CoV-2 respiratory infections. These findings support the potential of azelastine as a safe prophylactic approach warranting confirmation in larger, multicentric trials.”

(Yes, we reduced my other H1s to get me under the magic number, although the azelastine is not helping as much with my MCAS so I am going to need to add something else, sigh)
