See the DrugPatentWatch profile for Ryaltris
Ryaltris nasal spray is a prescription medication used to treat nasal allergy symptoms. It is a combination product containing olopatadine, an antihistamine, and mometasone furoate, a corticosteroid [1].
What symptoms does Ryaltris treat?
Ryaltris is indicated for the treatment of symptoms of allergic rhinitis, both seasonal and perennial, in patients 12 years of age and older [1]. These symptoms can include sneezing, runny nose, itchy nose, and nasal congestion [2].
How does Ryaltris work?
The olopatadine component works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance released by the body during an allergic reaction that causes allergy symptoms. The mometasone furoate component reduces inflammation in the nasal passages, which also helps to alleviate allergy symptoms [1].

Common side effects reported with Ryaltris include nosebleeds, nasal discomfort, and changes in taste [1]. Patients may also experience headache or throat irritation [3].
How does Ryaltris compare to other allergy nasal sprays?

The combination in Ryaltris aims to provide comprehensive symptom control [1, 4].
