What is it indicated for?
Alzair Allergy Blocker is intended to treat hay fever and allergy sufferers by promoting alleviation of mild allergic symptoms (i.e. mild nasal irritation including itchy, runny, or congested nasal passages) triggered by the inhalation of various airbone allergens including indoor and outdoor environmental pollens, house dust, animal hairs and dust mites.
Application of nasal ease produces a mucous-like gel barrier that evenly coats the nasal membranes and acts to block inhaled allergens within the nasal cavity.
Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
