For the randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, researchers recruited 450 healthy volunteers in Germany. Of those, more than 99% had received the COVID-19 vaccine at least once. <\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"4\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">The participants were split into two groups: One used an azelastine nasal spray in each nostril at least three times a day for about 56 days. The other used a placebo spray. Everyone was tested for COVID-19 twice a week. <\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"6\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">The researchers discovered that people in the azelastine group were about three times less likely to contract COVID-19 compared to those in the placebo group. Ultimately, just five people in the azelastine group (or 2.2%) tested positive for the virus, while 15 (6.7%) tested positive in the placebo group. <\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"7\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">People in the azelastine group also had a positive test for less time than their placebo-using counterparts (3.4 days compared to 5.14 days). <\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"8\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">It doesn\u2019t stop there: People in the azelastine group were also less likely to get any type of virus, including the common cold. The researchers discovered that 8.4% of people in the azelastine group contracted a virus compared to 18.8% in the placebo group. The azelastine users reported only being sick for 1.73 days compared to 2.75 days in the placebo group. <\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"9\" class=\"body-tip css-19jy3s emevuu60\"><strong data-node-id=\"9.0\">Meet the experts<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/phmtox.msu.edu\/people\/alanjami\" target=\"_blank\" data-vars-ga-outbound-link=\"https:\/\/phmtox.msu.edu\/people\/alanjami\" data-vars-ga-ux-element=\"Hyperlink\" data-vars-ga-call-to-action=\"Jamie Alan, Ph.D.,\" data-node-id=\"9.2\" class=\"body-link css-inlxvj emevuu60\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong data-node-id=\"9.2.0\">Jamie Alan, Ph.D.,<\/strong><\/a> an associate professor of pharmacology and toxicology at Michigan State University; <a href=\"https:\/\/publichealth.jhu.edu\/faculty\/3528\/amesh-adalja\" target=\"_blank\" data-vars-ga-outbound-link=\"https:\/\/publichealth.jhu.edu\/faculty\/3528\/amesh-adalja\" data-vars-ga-ux-element=\"Hyperlink\" data-vars-ga-call-to-action=\"Amesh A.

You might reduce your risk of RSV and influenza as well,\u201d he says. \u201cThere seems to be no risk to using the medications.\u201d Though, more research is warranted.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"27\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">Alan agrees, noting that there\u2019s likely no harm to using azelastine as long as you\u2019re not allergic to any of the ingredients in the nasal spray. <\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"28\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">But Dr. Russo points out that it\u2019s tricky to use a nasal spray several times a day. \u201cThe data suggest that if you use this three to five times a day, it may be similar to decreasing the likelihood of contracting COVID as getting the vaccine,\u201d he says. \u201cBut it\u2019s really hard to take a medication once a day, let alone five times a day.\u201d For many people, it\u2019s ultimately easier\u2014and cheaper\u2014to just get the vaccine, he says. <\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"29\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">Dr. Schaffner agrees. \u201cGetting people to be compliant with this over the entire COVID season is substantial,\u201d he says. <\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"30\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">But Dr. Russo says there may be some benefit in using azelastine before a big event. \u201cYou may think, \u2018I\u2019m going to a wedding and it\u2019s going to be a high-risk situation.\u2019 So, you might start taking this a few days beforehand and a few days afterward as extra protection,\u201d he says. <\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"31\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">AS there\u2019s no data comparing azelastine to more traditional methods of preventing COVID-19, like getting the vaccine and wearing masks, doctors recommend doing those first. \u201cThis should not be a substitute for vaccination,\u201d Dr. Schaffner says. <\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"32\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">Dr. Adalja agrees. \u201cIn the best-case scenario, it will likely have a complementary role to vaccines\u2014especially if shown to block infection, which vaccines against COVID are not able to do durably\u2014and possibly provide protection against viruses for which there are no vaccines,\u201d he says. But ultimately, doctors say that more research is needed first. <\/p>\n<p>Related Stories<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"New research suggests an over-the-counter nasal spray containing Azelastine may help lower the risk of getting COVID-19.
