Astepro dosage timing

by Calzone, May 18, 2009 12:16PM

I have been prescibed Astepro for severe nasal allergies; what is the ideal time of day to take the medicine? It does not seem to cause sleepness; also can it produce the oposite effect - insomnia?

Thanks,

Drowsiness or sleep disorders have been reported in less than 2% of those taking Astepro™ (azelastine). The recommended dosing is twice a day – morning and evening.
